    common sense about "become a pro options"

    Obviously the joining sportsbooksfor united states members was for fear of being shutdown or sued by the us government. but as far as amazon,vivid seats,fantasy,etc. It was clearly not generating much cash and found to be much more lucuarative to do charity donation only.

    That's the best for the world so who cares.

    I tried searching for it, but couldn't find much. Can someone please explain all the advantages of going pro?

    Going pro is worth it. I've been pro less then a month and have already bought over 300.00 worth of merchandise from the store, and that's while running bad at poker. Take the same bets your making anyway and make them here it's very +EV.

    That said more options to go pro would be nice.

    Give me a hand here everyone - if I'm not leaning towards donating - how does one get up to 2K+ points to join? Seems like it would take forever and a lot of useless posts. (actually, that explains a good amount of some of the post I read)

    Thoughts? Advice? Concerns?

    The first time you go Pro can't be done with points. That's an option only for those that are renewing. And points aren't given for posting at all - just daily log in points whether you post anything or not.

    I know I know what finally did it was I was over the 5K in points. So I made some big futures bets to bring the numbers down. One of which is Falcons to win the division!

    I figured Harden had to go too much talent and they all can't have max contracts. When he played so poorly in the finals I figured he be going. I was just hoping it be end of the season not the start. But he'll be the main man down in Houston so might be better for him. Personally I would have took the 54 mill and the better team.

    OKC got a decent deal in my opinion..Martin can score and Lamb has a bright future and 2 1sts and a 2nd..OKC has better guard depth now...I don't think the deal is nearly as bad as many are making it out to be for OKC..
