    I'm in the same boat Joey. I have 492 and I'd like to donate them all. There has to be a way for SBR to override this.

    Good question. We are willing to help if either the family or a sportsbook requested. Otherwise I wouldn't know where to start.

    This has come up many times most recently with the charity poker event. Non Pro points have no value. They can not be redeemed for this or any other purpose. We do this for business purposes and to control fraud.

    Non Pros can still make a donation. PM Lou for Paypal and Moneybookers instructions.

    Peep was a pioneer on gambling forums, kid loved the numbers side of it
    I go way back with this guy, this stuff kills me more than anything
    Online guys are my life and you feel like you lost a family member
    Hopefully his family will be ok
    Sad day

    Very sad to hear and especially around the holidays. Way to honor Peep and help out his family SBR. I wish I had more to give, some very kind SBR posters have really stepped up.

    I'd like to keep it open a couple of days as long as donations are still coming in. I think it's important to get this done as quick as we can for Peep's family's sake.

    Looks like we are over $1,000 now. Just saying thank you is an understatement.

    Save passage to the other side Peep. I'm sure you'll find a nice resting spot and a way to relive your talents. My condolences to his family and friends.

    I just sent 241 to get to an even 12,000 points or $1,200

    Thanks to SBR for the opportunity to help and for bumping the value of the points to 10 cents and to all the posters that have helped (and will continue to help).

    Great job John in doing this. Peep was one of the best out there in the forums. I never had the priviledge of meeting him in person, but I can tell from those that did he was a helluva guy. I wish his family the best in moving forward.

    Peep was a real gentleman always willing to help others out if he could.

    An all round class act,sharp gambler,who gave all a chance to speak their minds at his forum regadless of how fuckinn nuts or off the wall they were.

    He cracked me up not to long ago when he was talking about some of the nut jobs that post at his place,

    for chistsake he said.........the guy posts as a cat,good stuff.

    I'll miss his dry snse of humor and gambling knowledge greatly.

    RIP Carl.

    Update total for you SBR John. Picking up where Bob Loblaw had 8807 pts. An additional 4576 have been added, up to and including "ChuckyTheGoat" donation.

    Grand total so far is 13383 pts x .10 = $1,383.30

    Way to go everybody. The SBR family remembers and honors one of its early contributors, Thank you Peep. Rest in Peace.

    I'm just thinking out of the box here. Last year SBR gave us Pro's 50 points for x-mas. We don't know if that will happen this year, but if it does I think it would be a nice gesture to give them back here.

    You can remember that far back?? Good memory. I'm not authorized to discuss our Christmas plans but you should definitely check in to see if Santa came.

    We are pressing to get the forum's card and gift to the family on Christmas Eve if possible. Let's see how donations come in today.
