    Great question. You can use betpoints to redeem items from the SBR Store. If you're in the US for example, this includes various electronics, gift cards (Amazon, food, merchandise etc), SBR branded apparel, and more. Outside of the US the store is all sportsbook cash and bitcoin.

    Here's a thread covering ways to earn betpoints.

    I always love this contest. About 90% of the members dox themselves and I save on my hard drive for future use.

    Hi rake922,

    We see that you have entered the pool. You just need to log back in after Selection Sunday to submit your bracket.

    So if a non-pro wins what exactly are they winning?

    are they going to be permitted to go pro in the final round for example?

    To water down the winning payouts is my guess.. Non pros can't spend the bet points so it helps SBR to not lose alot with the contest payouts. If all non pros win then SBR loses nothing.. It's actually a brilliant business move on their part...

    SBR PROS still have a chance to win prizes though... None SBR pros still have the chance to realize they don't win anything for entering as well..
