My offers are still not loading... haven't been working for a good part of this year.. though I haven't been in a rush TBH. Wish the FanDuel/DraftStreet offers came back

Need to turn off your pop up blocker to see offers

[newguy]

everyone takes a standard 500 deduction for charity anything over that they start asking for reciepts,so if this is your only charitable donation it don't mean squat

Very true. If you generally commit tax fraud you need to win a few points over year to make it ev for you.

i dont come to sbr every day, just when im bored and just need something to fill my time with

why would i put myself in the situation were i need to come to sbr every day to collect points? that sounds ridiculous to me

why would you want the daily grind of trying to turn a profit on an sbr membership

November must have been mad boring..................

[ticklz]

going pro for Canadians = +800 EV!

[sweep]

Lol @ stress of having to log in

Jesus Christ even if you miss a couple bucks and you lose $5 on the deal who fukkin cares

One thing op left out was that the point renewal continues to make it more and more +ev with every year you renew using points.

gimme

It's way ev for me because I play contest and do well at poker. I don't even go to the sports book except to roll over plays

[BiTeMe UsAdOj]

anyone who plays sbrpoker for points is a loser cares enough to go out of their way to call others losers when not even participating in a SBR offering to understand the camaraderie, etc, involved is revealing themselves as the true loser in what's really important: LIFE

FYP

even more shockingly, the 2 guys that said they were going pro SOON back in december still haven't done it

i think people on the forums keep their word about 1% of the time

[newguy]

Yea - I have to think this is the biggest upgrade time of the year. With BTP paying out so many points - you can almost pay for it just by doing well there (not me since i can't win a game this year - but others are doing well).

Nice 5-0 last week btw Mike - good hit!!!

Here is why going pro just makes sense even for US players:

Cost: $200
Tax Savings: $36 (assuming you itemize and 18% effective tax rate)
Actual cost: $164 ($200 minus the $36 you get back on taxes)

I would imagine most live close enough to a Target where a Target GC could be used to purchase something you would buy anyway, and that most here spend at least $60 a year on pizza:

Target gift card = 2,950 points
$60 pizza cards = 1,275 points
Total points needed = 4,225 points.

That equates to logging in 353 out of 365 days (12 points/day*353 days = 4,236 points). $160 worth of gift cards leaves you $4 short of break-even. That means, over course of a year, you need to win $4 at the casino, sportsbook, or poker tables (and if you can't be +ev at SBR poker you are not in the right place - the daily's are almost free money).

Well you didnt factor in if you play poker you invest 10 pts a day for tournies.......But you also didnt say that SBR madeit 100 to join and that was for 2 years. If you didnt take that offer you probably think 401k is a bad idea

Original post was when it was $200 and no 2 years thing - its obviously a no-brainer at this point. The 10pts/day for tourney I get but like I said - you really should be able to be +ev on poker. I have to honestly think you could be +ev on poker going all-in every hand at beginning of tourney until you either double up or get beat. If double up I think you can fold your way into the money.

Never proven that but maybe will do that on nights I don't have time to play!!

Great post OP.

[zizoudane10]

Absolutely worth it for US players. Not for guys from Europe like me though. Will not renew.
