    How many points can a non pro bring to pro?

    Thinking about maybe going pro around when football season hits if this site doesn't go down any further. I've seen some say 5K, 4K, 3K, and 2K so I'm just wondering which one it actually is so I don't waste my time.

    plus if you have never been a pro you will need to donate $200 to a charity to become a pro, if you have been a pro before you can become pro again using 3000 points. But then you start out with zero points since can not keep anything over 3000

    Yeah I know I have to donate $200. But I'm going to get 3K before I do that.

    even if you started with 6k points?

    seems like you should be able to use 3k and keep 3k

    This is what the Become a Pro page says:

    "Press the submit button below and wait two to four business days to enjoy double betpoints and more PRO benefits. *After becoming SBR Pro, a Non-Pro whose balance exceeds 5,000 betpoints will be reset to exactly 5,000. Former Pros that let their membership lapse will also be reset to 5,000 points."

    SBR Staff: Hi. How can I help you?
    kraken: I was thinking about going pro but was informed only 3k of my points would transfer, is this true?

    SBR Staff: yes
    kraken: Who can negotiate that?

    SBR Staff: no one
    kraken: no one? lol

    kraken: someone has to be able to

    kraken: someone decided to go from 5k to 3k

    SBR Staff: if you have more than 3k points when you become a pro your points are reset to 3k
    SBR Staff: same rule for everyone... it's listed in the policies on the FAQs page
    kraken: I understand

    kraken: however, everything is negotiable

    kraken: who is your boss

    kraken: I'd like to transfer all of my points and donate more than the $200

    SBR Staff: sure however out of the hundred+ people i've seen try to negotiate
    kraken: I think they'd go for it

    SBR Staff: they've all received the same answer: it's non negotiable
    SBR Staff: and some were only a couple of hundred points over
    SBR Staff: try PM'ing Lou
    SBR Staff: he'll provide you with the answer
    kraken: Alright, is he in charge?

    SBR Staff: yep
    kraken: ok... thank you.

    SBR Staff: have a good day
    kraken: Do I PM him at SBR_FORUM

    kraken: or SBR_CONTEST

    Kraker, we can bankrupt them in hats.

    Kraker, I think we can trade SBR hats for bitcoins.

    Kraker, talk to FlyinerIlliner and get the ball rollin'.

    Thanks for the points Drinker, gonna take them to the casino right now.

    Last week I had about 20k points and I thought about cashing them out for hats and shirts

    But then SBR would have my address and wonder why my IP address is different

    Nino, it's still on the table.

    Drinker has about convinced me
