    I'm not pro

    I have failed to see the wisdom of handing over $100 (don't give me the charity BS) other than pure peer pressure. Also I think there are some on the forum that benefit by making these pushes to get people to hand over their $100

    That is my reasoning until I am convinced otherwise.

    I was pro for a year, absolutely worth it. I didn't renew because of the editing in the services forum and their lack of response to direct questions.

    The value in being in Pro is multi fold, as I've so eloquently stated here many, many times.

    If someone I knew said give me $100, and over the next year I will guarantee you return of AT LEAST 70%, with you having to do absolutely nothing in your life different than that which you are doing now…I would take it.

    If you can't see that…you're a dumbfukk. Period.

    Same. SBR makes money off people coming here from advertising, they should be giving PRO status away for free.

    And dont even try to convince me that every $100 given to charity isnt deducted by them off taxes, when its us donating the money

    Everything in life has a price. If you are going to utilize a site on a day in day out basis, nothing wrong with sending .27 a day. Don't care if .21 goes to the CEO of Make a Wish.

    Let us see, I donated 100 three years ago. Since then I have paid for that by points. I have won 400 in amazon gc. I won 300 target gc and won about 100 in pizza gc. If i was a better bettor I'm sure that i would of won more. So for 100 donation i have won 800 in gc.AS Also instead of betting with air than you can play other things. Now there are others that have won cash by little things by funding a gambling acct or winning a contest.

    You see that is a problem I have to consider. If I were to go pro it would be mostly for contests I suppose. But I will sweep them all, and all of you will hate me. I have to consider this....

    The contests that have cash and betpoint prizes are worth it alone. I like how posters that tell us they are gambling hundreds or thousands a day are worried about sending a $100 to benefit, not only themselves, but the site they spend 75% of their day on. Yet they will send thousands of dollars overseas to someone they don't even know to gamble only because SBR, the site that isn't worth the $100 donation, made sure to help them pick a trustworthy book

    There is plenty of value in being a PRO, at least from a U.S. standpoint.

    Not only do the contest pay out real money, but you can buy all sorts of things in the store.

    I've personally purchased products in the store worth 148,000 Betpoints, and I'm a terrible capper. There are posters on here with way more store purchases than myself. So saying there is no value .... come on, man.

    The Service Play forum rules have been stated clearly and simply, 5918mike. Though still some users don't want to follow it the reason we edit the post, and give infractions to those continuously posting the things that are not allowed.

    What is allowed: [Capper Name] + play & odds.

    What is not allowed. *amount, write ups, $ amount, unit amount etc.

    ^^^Exactly, if you're not an SBR PRO then you are either broke, cheap or a shitty gambler.. Either way that should be a red flag when tailing non SBR PROS...

    Being an SBR PRO is a good gig if you are a decent sports gambler and can gamble up those bet points.. You can find something to buy in the SBR STORE with bet points that has real value.. It's not a scam..

    Benefits and profits are there to be had as an SBR PRO with the contest play as well.. Real money can be made like in the BEAT THE PRICK contest now.. Top 50 or so get paid in real money prizes..

    I'll never let my SBR PRO status expire...

    Your shitty rules, my shitty reason. I'm just living in your world. Just doesn't make much sense to help members using a specific system that uses previous losses and then not allow that information to be posted. I guess that falls under etc.

    was pro, didnt make a difference

    was so insignificant i completely forgot to renew, i just came to site one day and was not a pro any more, so i just didnt bother


    people who brag about being pro or consider themselves better cause they are pro should stop, they are basically admitting publicaly that their life is so bad that they see being an sbr pro as a status symbol

    Brokedikks spend all their time on forums posting bs, betting points on games and playing in free contests because they dont have real money to bet, the people not wasting their lives on here are the ones betting real money. Anyone betting and winning real money could care less about wagering "points." God people are dumb
