    How many points can a non pro bring to pro?
    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.

        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

              even if you started with 6k points?

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

                            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."

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

                                                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

                                                  kraken: Alright, is he in charge?

                                                  SBR Staff: yep

                                                        Kraker, we can bankrupt them in hats.

                                                        Kraker, I think we can trade SBR hats for bitcoins.

                                                        Kraker, talk to FlyinerIlliner and get the ball rollin'.

                                                            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
