    SBR points are worth less then 5 cents right
    now.

    50 dollar gift card/1039 points = .048 cents per point.

    Will doubling the amount of points per day actually make the value of each point worth more or less?

    I'm gonna need it regardless because I've got a decent size points loan to pay off.

    My mistake, the gift cards are now 1091 points.

    so that would be .045 cents per point.

    I really wish I could of cashed in when these I could of got a 50 dollar gift card for 781 points.

    310 point increase ******* sucks.

    SBR can't deny that these points actually have value and although they are fun, they are a form of currency. Considering this, SBR may as well start selling points.

      How about SBR not do any points? This site is very good with the points aspect and all the handicapping contests they have. A lot of work and a quality site to boot. I appreciate it

        SBR does points because it creates traffic which in turn gets more people to sign up at books. It is as simple as that.

        Plus you can gamble with the points themselves.

        I hate it when you take this kind of angle.

        Almost like saying, How about USA not do any money? That would be pretty ******* dumb.

          Have you not heard of BETPHOENIX FREEPLAYS??????????


          7.5 pts equals $1..........making 1pt worth at the very least 13 cents and thus making your statement that SBR PTS are worth less than a nickel totally untrue.

            Now I'm thinking that the value of a point is going to decrease even more since there will be more points floating around.

            I actually would not mind if they eliminated points, but do more handicapping contests for money instead.

              Fishhead, you are not taking into account the fact that you need to first hit the freeplay, then roll it over 8times.

                I think the days of getting a few hundred points, buying some sportsbook cash, and grinding out a few hundred bucks in a day or two is over.

                  One does not need to hit it, SCALP IT OUT.

                  If you lose, your done......if you win, continue to scalp(and make more money) with BetPhoenix and their very generous lines.

                    1258 pts is worth $165 with the BP FP offer............at the very least.

                        ok 1238pts.


                        fish, do not help guava he clearly has no idea how to use points and therefore we can keep the same point structure. if everyone made max value on their points theyd (sbr)decrease the overall value

                              you can turn a freeplay into cash easily with guaranteed profits over atleast 70%

                              therefore 1238pts = $250 freeplay <= $175 cash

                                    It depends what you buy.

                                    Take pizzas. A large supreme (they are large aren't they?) goes for 184 points. At $0.05/point, that would make the pizza $9.20. I wouldn't think you could buy that pizza for under $10.

                                            Then there's bang for the points by ordering pizza.
