Arranging any sort of real money bet or money transfer is not allowed on SBR.

Therefore, the boot must be delivered for multiple reasons.

Because you haven't put any money where your mouth is Brokehousemasters

Real bright trying to book cash bets in public too Hope you and the wife found some more FREE NFL spread contests because you might be banned from this one

[brooks85]

So what's the deal, SBR going to start pimping out this contest on yahoo or what?

[Ebumdude]

It will be interesting to see if I start getting telemarketing calls on my Bahrain cell phone.

[Jatt24]

Anyone else been getting these survey calls lately??

Nope

[Jayvegas420]

Chico, I think you're confused.
It appears that there is no reason to be pro if you live in the states.
Outside of the states, free sports book cash is available

[chico2663]

jay it's other way around. we can get gift cards which aren't available in europe. My niece goes to oklahoma.(as a ut fan it brought tears when she announced) i have given her target cards and pizza cards with just my initial 100 to drs without borders. YES I AM A penetrating CHEAPSKATE!

Living outside of the US we get sportsbook cash aka free $ at books. A ton of it. If you're a gambler that's like Christmas every damn month!

So we probably both make out ok

Exactly.

Shari, is anything being done to try and reinstate sports book cash for American members?

[Da Manster!]

Exactly.

well, if that were the case here, I'd more than happy to turn PRO!......as usual, US customers are always the sheep...

[TheAntFather]

Exactly.

This would be very nice.

[Jayvegas420]

I don't know if its a legal thing or a business thing but if you wanna see people turn pro to claim their BTP prize (I am aware that's been changed this year)....

Reinstate sports book cash for American s

[shari91]

Exactly.

I'm not involved in that area but I'd say that unless we want SBR to be shutdown for good, the chances are not great for that option to be reinstated for US members anytime soon. Things need to change legally in the States for that to be a viable option again unfortunately. On the plus side though, y'all have gift cards and other items to purchase and while some might not think they're enticing, if they put a teeny bit of thought into it they could see how they could convert those items into straight $ without even having to deal with a book if they wanted to. And for someone like me who has been having massive ebbs and flows with gambling lately, those damn gift cards and merch would be way more useful than sportsbook cash. $100 at Target for example = a huge amount of kid stuff, household essentials, etc. Stuff you'd normally have to buy anyway but you're now getting thanks to answering some trivia q's right and maybe a bit of poker if that's your thing.

I don't know... even if I didn't work here I'd never think the Pro program wasn't worth it regardless of where I lived so that's why I struggle to see anyone's objection to it. If someone doesn't believe it's worth it even after doing their math then they should go sue their math teacher!

Well said. But, it's always nice to have the option of sportsbook cash.lol

[Ebumdude]

Don't get me wrong. I still live in the states. I'm just stationed outside the states doing the "King's work".

But yes, Shari is right. Unless the laws change stateside, cash isn't an option. That's why gift cards etc, is the way to go.

Best of luck gents. We will see how this contest pans out.

I took 2nd last year and I'm not ready to give it up.

Especially to a non pro.

[pavyracer]

Can SBR make depositing gift cards at sportsbooks an option? Since they take bitcoins why don't they take pizza gift cards as payment for deposits?

[shari91]

Well said. But, it's always nice to have the option of sportsbook cash.lol

And I want my option of merch back!! My son has thrashed two SBR ipads already and then they went and made them US only. It'd cost me heaps to fix them so I'd love to just buy another one with points. Trust me it works both ways!! But yeah, it's totally grass is always greener concept. Even just the thought of ordering say a football spread from a pizza joint thanks to SBR Betpoints would be like heaven to me. And let's not talk about Target ok

I'd be surprised if there wasn't 10,000 entrants by the time the contest started, still a month left. SBR might be getting a bunch of new posters.

Probably damn close. Be double that without phone verification I'd guess

Think there was about 1100 who was in last year
If it's much bigger than that it's gonna take me ages to score my contest to find everyone 😝

excellent post, Shari!...I echo your sentiments and you make solid points...my gripe isn't necessarily with the PRO program itself as it is with the vast majority of broke dik fuks on here that think their shit don't stink just because they donated $100 to charity and then have the gall and audacity to frown upon "non-pro's" like they are garbage...that's not right because nobody on this forum doesn't know anyone's elses business, real life situation, financial burdens and stress, bills, mortgages, utilities, etc!...people are so goddamn judgmental nowadays...and I've been on here a very long time and can honestly say that I get along with 99.9% of all the members on here (both pro's and non-pro's alike) and have always given the benefit of the doubt to said individuals until proven otherwise...besides most members on here already know I wager real money and post actual cash tickets with my offshore accounts!...

I only look down at you as a Caps fan


good post though

[shaunovery]

Agree good post , we don't look down at non pros , think the point is being pro was one of the perks of the contest , now you don't need to be one so the incentive has lost some of its shine

[Da Manster!]

Jesus, V39!...rub some salt in the wound!...kick me in the nads!...pour some lemon juice on my paper cut!...do you realize how miserable it is to be a diehard caps fan, former season ticket holder, and bleed red, white, and blue only to have the team constantly choke year in and year out?!.......maybe one of these days we shall hoist Lord Stanley's cup before I depart from this world!...

[Da Manster!]

fair enough, Shaun...

Agree I don't see how this gives anyone incentive to join, where in past years if non pros close to cashing you'd see them join.

Do like increased payout though so all good
