    What's everyone saving their points for?
    I notice there are a fair amount of posters with tons of points in their wallets. Just wondering what people's thought process is and what items posters have in their minds that they're shooting for. Or is it even just a case sometimes of building them up or the sake of it without a clear goal in mind?

    Very curious what people are thinking with their points. Now that I myself have enough of a chunk to get some stuff, I'm not sure what I want to do either.

    Thanks.

    If you dont need anything, hold on to them and join the bowl contest. 3k points and winner gets $5000 or somewhere around that (with points payouts for other places), only 50-60 entries, so the odds are a lot better than BTP.

                        I grab a pizza every once in a while. Takes too much time to worry about them for the most part though. Just checked and saw I have 4500 in free play points.

                        Last time I had like 4k in points I sat down at sbr blackjack and lost them all in like 5 min. Lost like 23 out of 25 hands

                            Yeah, I've done pizzas... I ordered (shitty) earbud headphones once... done some gift cards and may just do that again, but debating.

                            Yup, that sounds par for the course for an online casino. You were wagering units above the "let them win a little" threshold, so you lost every hand.

                                    I just looked in the contest forum, I guess there's no info about this yet? Are you going by last year's contest or something? Guess I'd never noticed that before. Interesting suggestion...

                                    In the meantime, I ordered a Domino's gift card. :-) May just go with the Amazon 100-dollar one or the Whole Foods. Hmm, or maybe one of the restaurant ones...

                                            break it down by value. i think that tv is in the 41K range is only worth 800$, 8 100$ amazon cards only run you 26K. if i got that high i would just getr some amazon cards and buy there it would be foolish to order the tv. thats a ton of points tho

                                                    Been getting $100 gift cards lately. I got the $100 Home Depot gift card last month. Maybe I'll get the Amazon gift card next.

                                                                In the meantime, I ordered a Domino's gift card. :-) May just go with the Amazon 100-dollar one or the Whole Foods. Hmm, or maybe one of the restaurant ones...
                                                                Yes, based off last year's and prior year's. There won't be a post about it until right around the end of the regular season, but I'm sure it will be 3000 points to enter (can enter multiple times by yourself, or they allow teams where everyone posts a certain percentage of the entry and then you win that percentage of money or points, plenty of people with a bunch of points will just try to get in on half the teams so they have a 50% chance of getting some money)

                                                                I'll be saving up for that, also use them on gift cards for Burger King (if I'm traveling and will be eating a lot of food on the go), pizza (for obvious reason) or Red Robin (to convert to cash at a much better rate than the $100 gift cards)
