Become pro or not?

[tto827]

Final question... When time comes to renew, I will not be reset to 3000 points again will I?

They give you a 1 month warning before it expires, if you renew before it actually expires, you will definitely not get reset. I think there is then a grace period (1-3 months I think but hopefully someone can clarify) in which you can still extend your pro status and it is still seen as an extension vs. becoming a new pro.

[pavyracer]

well u can only transfer 2 pts a day as a non-pro so that wouldnt work either

You can transfer as many as you want at the poker tables.

[tto827]

non-pros can't sit down with their points, only poker rollovers

they cant even sit down play ring games with sbr points

only poker pts from tourneys

[Footballtime]

I think non pros can now play in the sit and gos, I think i just won 200 off a non pro playing sit n go........

[Vikings2]

5,000 pts is the max they allow to carry over to becoming a pro for the first time.

Non pros can play sit n go's. FBT can I have 500 pts? thx man

[5mike5]

now its 3k, they changed it

[tto827]

Not anymore.

[MrZ]

PM and ask SBR Forum, if you would, say, make futures bets, if while they would be pending, would their amounts be subtracted from the 3000 you carry over or not since the sportsbook accepts your points? Just another possible idea. Good luck.

[5mike5]

I think non pros can now play in the sit and gos, I think i just won 200 off a non pro playing sit n go........

well thats different

pavy said they could just give pts away from poker and they cant because they cant even play a ring game

sit n gos would not accomplish anything for what he was saying

[Vikings2]

now its 3k, they changed it

Oh. They must of changed it recently then.

[Vegas39]

not true either pavy

they cant even sit down play ring games with sbr points

only poker pts from tourneys

They can do sit n go tourneys

[5mike5]

They can do sit n go tourneys

yeah

[Vegas39]

yes but that doesnt accomplish a non=pro giving away points to another player

Not to magnitude of ring games no

This is a copy and paste straight from the the PRO Application:

"Press the submit button below and wait two to four business days to enjoy double SBR points and more PRO benefits. *After becoming SBR Pro, a Non-Pro whose balance exceeds 5,000 SBR points will be reset to exactly 5,000. Former Pros that let their membership lapse will also be reset to 5,000 points."

So not to be too much of a smartass but this pretty much means:

1) The information is misleading....or

2) Those of you who are saying 3000pts don't know what your talking about.

That being said, you don't get anything of value on this site unless you are a PRO. (besides a hat)
And I am starting to believe that there is some truth to what was said about PROS getting better cards
in Poker. I don't know how many times I've had a bad beat with some moron going ALL-IN pre-flop with 4-7 offsuit
and beating my QQ, KK, AA.


I will eventually become PRO but it depends on the amount of time I can devote to it that will make it worth it or not.
I actually have a life and a family to take care of, so I can't be on here for 6-8 hours a day to win points that are worth
around .03 to .05 cents depending on which gift you choose.

In the end its fun to play on here and I would say it's worth it, but maybe not financially for someone like me.

I'd say quit your job and concentrate on winning as many points as you can here. Just look at the big picture. One day you can be the points king of SBR!

[konck]

I agree but for you to say that is stupid. You have been here since 2006 you went pro in late 2012 so more than SIX YEARS. Thats a long time to think for a no brainer. Just saying

Many years we didnt have the pro option
And for a few I was stubborn I have seen the SBR light

[konck]

Me? I got 6th in the bracket contest. Pissed now I can't keep them when going pro

Go find a future bet that ends a few weeks after you go pro I did pk one that is major chalk I took -600 take higher if you can get it. They cant count your bet as a win and its not in your roll pts it did work for me

You sure they won't count those against me when they reset me?

[THam12]

Well I made the donation! Actually feel good about it! A birthday present to myself since today is my born day!Waiting to be verified. Hello world of SBR Pro!

[THam12]

why does it take 2-4 days to verify? lol

[pavyracer]

They have 768 applications in front of you with only person verifying. Hang in there. The longer you wait the better you feel when you are anointed a Pro!

well they want us to become pro so bad so we can actually be active on the site yet they take a week to do so....

[Gruntworker]

nah, it'll get approved faster then you realize. Welcome man!

[THam12]

PRO! thanks guys!

[ProPicker713]

Congrats dude. Now Cash out on some PIZZA and enjoy your Friday.

[PhillyFlyers]

I would have been Pro my first day here but then I saw no real benefit to it.

A Pro is subject to the same rules as a non-pro.

A Pro can still be infracted or banned the same as a non-pro.

There are no special privileges to being a pro.

Therefore, no incentive.

The standard pro reply to a non-pro. But it is you who are the idiot. There is no real benefit to becoming pro, no real advantages. Until there is, I'll stick to being a non-pro and make fun of losers like you who think their shit don't stink just because your an sbr pro but then has to go give blowjobs for slot money every night.

no real advantages, except the 1k in cash and about 700 or so of dollars of free GCs ive got....

any goof can gets well over the 200 bucks it costs

yeah no advantages at all...

[THam12]

really.... should have never gone pro...
1) not enough ways to earn points... 12 a day whoopdie fuckin do.
2) rigged casino
3) literally the dumbest decision ive made.

[Jimmy Proffett]

When I became a pro I carried over 12K points, so it was a no-brainer for me. Now, with the prices at these levels for merchandise and only being able to carry over 5k in points.... it's almost not worth shelling out $200 bucks unless you were planning on donating to Drs w/o Borders anyway.

[greenhippo]

Could say the same thing about any online book that has a casino but they don't give you daily free tokens for some small action. I'm up almost 1500 points since yesterday, will try for 2500 and then go pro, it's more than worth it when you have enough points for $100 worth of stuff upfront.
