    Usa sbr pros disadvantage

    if i live in any other country besides the united states , i could get 140$ cash in any sportsbook for 1700 points
    but because we live in the united states , we are stuck paying 2400 points for a 100$ **** gift card.. can someone please explain how this adds up ? why are we stuck paying more for less because of the new laws , why hasnt sbr adjusted the prices to make it fair for the sbr pros who live in america, which im sure is a good percentage ..

    since you are on sbr you gamble and you would have deposited that 200$x2 anyway

    and you dont lose that money, you make a couple of bets, you cash out and you live the life

    its free because you get to "keep" your money; youre not giving it to sbr


    its the law's fault. write your local congressman.

    because the gift cards cost them more than the sportsbook cash, that is why

    they have to pay full price for the gift cards, were as sportsbook cash is subsidized by the sponsors

    it costs them more, so it costs you more

    You need to do something with your lawmakers. Books will share the cost of sportsbook cash and freeplays but amazon, vesa and dominoes and all those guys will not.
