How many points can a non pro bring to pro?

[Wilfred]

Thinking about maybe going pro around when football season hits if this site doesn't go down any further. I've seen some say 5K, 4K, 3K, and 2K so I'm just wondering which one it actually is so I don't waste my time.

[El Nino]

3K pts.

[SBR Jonelyn]

3K pts.

El Nino is right.

[Wrigley]

plus if you have never been a pro you will need to donate $200 to a charity to become a pro, if you have been a pro before you can become pro again using 3000 points. But then you start out with zero points since can not keep anything over 3000

[ProPicker713]

Yeah so according to your join date wilfred you may have to donate the $200 or do the sportsbook option if your allowed.

[Wilfred]

Yeah I know I have to donate $200. But I'm going to get 3K before I do that.

even if you started with 6k points?

seems like you should be able to use 3k and keep 3k

[Louisvillekid1]

3k? Damn When I turned pro it was 5k...

By the time you turn it will prob be 1k...

Business as usual...

[Jimmy Proffett]

I brought along 12k when I turned pro

[Easy-Rider 66]

I brought along 12k when I turned pro

Used to be up to 25K was allowed to carry over.

[allabout the $$$]

its 5000

[SBR Jonelyn]

its 5000

not anymore...

[allabout the $$$]

not anymore...

i just clicked on donate to a charity and it says 5000 points carry over

[ramones951]

This is what the Become a Pro page says:

"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."

[Vikings2]

they just havent changed it on that page...its 3k

[allabout the $$$]

they just havent changed it on that page...its 3k

if its not changed on that page they have to honor the 5k

[Vegas39]

if its not changed on that page they have to honor the 5k

Their forum, they don't have to honor anything in reality.

[5mike5]

if its not changed on that page they have to honor the 5k

.unless they changed it back, which around this place wouldnt be any real suprise

[allabout the $$$]

true but then you dont have to donate to go pro so its really your choice

[allabout the $$$]

yes this place changes every week so it seems

[Vegas39]

true but then you dont have to donate to go pro so its really your choice

No doubt and they should honor it but won't hold breath

[allabout the $$$]

No doubt and they should honor it but won't hold breath

kind of ironic that they to sportsbooks to honor things but they would fight over honoring something on their website

SBR Staff: Hi. How can I help you?
kraken: I was thinking about going pro but was informed only 3k of my points would transfer, is this true?

SBR Staff: yes
kraken: Who can negotiate that?

SBR Staff: no one
kraken: no one? lol

kraken: someone has to be able to

kraken: someone decided to go from 5k to 3k

SBR Staff: if you have more than 3k points when you become a pro your points are reset to 3k
SBR Staff: same rule for everyone... it's listed in the policies on the FAQs page
kraken: I understand

kraken: however, everything is negotiable

kraken: who is your boss

kraken: I'd like to transfer all of my points and donate more than the $200

SBR Staff: sure however out of the hundred+ people i've seen try to negotiate
kraken: I think they'd go for it

SBR Staff: they've all received the same answer: it's non negotiable
SBR Staff: and some were only a couple of hundred points over
SBR Staff: try PM'ing Lou
SBR Staff: he'll provide you with the answer
kraken: Alright, is he in charge?

SBR Staff: yep
kraken: ok... thank you.

SBR Staff: have a good day
kraken: Do I PM him at SBR_FORUM

kraken: or SBR_CONTEST

[InTheDrink]

Lightbulb

[The Kraken]

Thanks for the points Drinker, gonna take them to the casino right now.

Last week I had about 20k points and I thought about cashing them out for hats and shirts

But then SBR would have my address and wonder why my IP address is different

Nino, it's still on the table.

Drinker has about convinced me
