Is it possible to live off posting?

By this I mean, can one consistently accumulate enough SBR points so as to redeem them for pizzas and keep oneself nourished?

I expect 2 pizzas/per day to provide all of the essential daily nutrients. That is 250 SBR points that must be accumulated, on average, every day. I consider it to be possible if the poster is highly motivated.

The question is how much startup capital would this poster need to stay afloat diet-wise until the first pizza coupons arrive from SBR headquarters?

My team of analysts is currently crunching numbers and is in close contact with UNICEF, providing them with streaming updates on our attempts to cure world hunger via forum posting. Past experience on the forum suggests illiteracy will not be a barrier for 3rd-world posters to succeed in this environment.

Kind regards,

All I know is that I really, really miss the days when Actionbets.com would send their clients a bag of the finest coffee from Belize....or maybe it was Costa Rica. But it was so tasty.

I just got off the phone with my personal team of analysts. They disagree with that website on two key points.

I expect 2 pizzas/per day to provide all of the essential daily nutrients.

Not even close. If you mean in terms of caloric amount and keeping the poster full, one pizza would do the trick.

If you want the essential daily nutrients, pizza is lacking in many respects.

That is 250 SBR points that must be accumulated, on average, every day. I consider it to be possible if the poster is highly motivated.

Impossible unless you are a slick forum bookie.

Guinness would set you back quite a few points. Can I take Natty Light instead?

You can live off pizza and water pretty easy

Just make sure you order the VEGGIE pizza............yes, you could live for years on this with no serious side effects...........just remember to get as many veggies on the pizza as possible, with extra sauce.

In modest proportions, pizza is very healthty and a staple in my diet 2-3 times per week.

you need a lot of ghosts

Nicky Santoro · 08-31-09, 09:06 AM

first of all, i think there's a 30 pt max per day.. so you will starve as you can only get 1 free pizza a week if you post the max..

secondly, if you eat pizza everyday, you will get so sick of pizza, that it won't even go down anymore.. i can't eat the same thing 3 days in a row or i get tired of it.. even if it's a chinese buffet, or pasta, or anything i like.. even if i ate KFC for 3 days in a row, which is my fav, i'd get so tired of it after the 3rd day.

so the answer to your question is NO..

yisman · 08-31-09, 09:32 AM

Nicky, you can't get 30 points a day by posting. Only 7 (not including the supposed 25 points for every thousand posts).

The rest you have to win from contests, betting, have people give you points, etc.

That's why this thread, even in jest, doesn't make sense.

mathdotcom · 08-31-09, 04:26 PM

yisman the square:

I got 54 points in under 2 hours last night. Who said the points all had to come from SBR?

yisman · 08-31-09, 04:43 PM

I am the sharpest bettor on here, pal.

Nicky won't even take my action.

I said by posting. RIF.

I did not enter any contests, yet I earned > 50 points exclusively by posting. Where did those points come from?
