    To go pro or not??

    I have accumulated just under 5,000 pts since losing my pro status in Febuary.Im thinking of dropping 200$ to go pro then turning in my points to buy two 100 **** gift cards to pay for the upgrade.If I decide to make the move to the big leagues again which method would the forum suggest using??

    If you're in the US, there aren't as many options... But, I believe you can sign up at FanDuel/other fantasy sports sites, buy stuff off Amazon, or even use a website to buy sports tickets.

    By going pro, your rooster size around here increases by at least 1/2 inch.

    Decide soon, because you can only carry over 5000 points.

    go pro for sure..

    even if u buy 200$ worth of tickets on vivid or 200$ worth of fantasy deposits.

    u can cash out that same amount after a few bets and also u can buy more in store or 5000 pts worth of stuff (half an ipad..etc)

    plus u earn double pts a day and are eligible for more things

    If you're gonna do it, better do it soon. Any day now, the pro program is going to be in shambles. It's been picked apart already, there's barely any meat left on the bones.

    5000.

    What about the SBR Pro program?

    The SBR Pro program is an annual membership that involves users making a $200+ commitment to a third-party sponsor. After being confirmed as an SBR Pro (read the SBR Pro application), a member will receive various benefits including double the daily forum log-in points, entry to exclusive poker tournaments and handicapping contests, as well as unrestricted access to the SBR Store. After becoming SBR Pro, a Non-Pro whose balance exceeds 5,000 betpoints will be reset to exactly 5,000.
