    Going Pro or not...

    I know I have asked the question before so I apologize up front,

    but what are the benefits of a USA resident going PRO compared to a regular non pro membership??


    Thx !

    Being a pro means you are hung like a mule.
    Non pro means you are hung like a seahorse.

    Don't waste your time. It was lucrative when it was first introduced. Not worth the hassle now.

    it'd be cool if SBR paid the 12 points a day in one lump sum of 4380 points opposed to 12/day. alot of people lack the dicipline to save and or wager them somewhat wisely but I suppose the intent of the 12 daily is done for this reason.

    But that's their problem.

    What makes you think if you give someone one lump sum of 4380 they aren't going to go all in first chance they get?

    That remains to be seen here. I think it depends on sponsorships here. The way the prices keep going up is a concern though. There's no bash this year also. You haven't heard a thing from Lou or John lately too. There's something in the works here so I wouldn't be shocked at anything that happens in the weeks and months ahead from now.

    i don't think that would not happen but I bet they would get alot of new "pro" members with such a policy of the lump some points and it would be appealing to the vast majority of people.

    Bzzz. Wrong again meat head, try again, never bashed it.
    I bashed the posters who told me to go pro. I always, and you can check my post history, said, I'll turn pro on my terms, not when somebody else told me.

    Buried again.

    ...and poker, and the easy trivia..............

    I paid 200 to Make a Wish, turned pro 4 months ago, I have like 11K points, + whatever in poker, + money in the sports book.
    I'm up almost triple my original outlay.

    Dude, find me a post where I bashed the pro option here by saying it isn't worth it.

    It'll take a minute of your time, use the advanced search function.

    Buried again, like shooting fish in a barrel you are that easy.

    Only thing I bashed when I was non pro were the pros telling me to go pro. Never said it wasn't worth it, but if it helps your e-penis by putting words in my mouth, have at it. I always said "I'll turn pro on my terms" time and time again.

    Funeral is over.

    Post a link where I bashed the pro program or it never happened.

    Thx !

    Pros:
    1. Double the daily points - 12
    2. You can actually use your points at the Store to buy stuff (non-pros can't)
    3. You get to try your luck on Trivia on obscure questions like what was the winning percentage of the Yankees in the 1966 season.
    4. You get to tell non-pros how good you are as a Pro and how much do non-pros suck.

    Not worth it anymore. When it first started it was a good idea. But now the trivia is way too hard/obscure. It use to be if you hit the 175 pointer, they gave you all the points BUT now they put it in full juice sportsbook where you have to wager it. Plus every few months there is an increase in the SBR store and the points have not kept up with this. 12 points is not the same as it use to be. At this rate, we should be getting around 14/15 points each time we log in. This alone makes it not worth it.
