The sportsbooks are getting faster confirming pros but it could be up to Thursday as 4th business day. Hopefully today.

Thanks Bill for all the extras that SBR has now the all the contest and sportsbook are great !! Casino is great to and I loose most of my points there but it is fun !!

[Bill Dozer]

You are welcome jackpot! That's what the points are for... Have some fun between games and if you do it the triple cherries youre going to the Super Bowl on SBRforum.

[gavin]

hey bill, already an sbr pro....do i get additional points for redepositing 200 or more somewhere else?

[sjm5122]

I'm a PRO, Thanks SBR

[stakebook]

can I be sbr pro?

[sportsfanatic]

how about some sbr pro discounts in the sbr store?

[Socrates]

So If I made a deposit from one book to say, 5dimes with the amound of say...$100 dollars and have been winning my way up to $200+ i'm not eligable, correct? Even though my current balance is over $200 at the present time?

Matchbook isn't in on this?

[SBR Lou]

You're receiving twice as many log-in points as non-Pro's, and the prices are locked in for 1 year.

That's a healthy discount.

You'd be eligible, if the $200+ was made up of wins off your cash deposit. Bonus $ is excluded.

Only the listed forum sponsors are included in the pro program.

[d2bets]

SBR just wants to make sure that their Pros are people that actually bet sports and not just people that troll forums for stuff. Having $200 in one of a set of books that any player is going to play at seems like a pretty minimum thing.

I am already a pro, but will join Diamond to qualify for "Beat the prick" cash prizes. How can I get the 100 points? Clicking in the link returns "Sorry, but you seem to be already A Pro Member."

We'll make it so that you can still apply for the 100 point via the form, but in the meantime you can just shoot me a PM after you've created your DSI account through the contest promo link and I'll credit the points upon confirmation.

This is also the case for me. Already a pro via 5dimes, then this week I got a new account at DSI via BTP link and deposited $100 . I don't want to be a point hound, but if this qualifies me for the 100 point bonus , I'll be happy to accept.

[flyingillini]

Do you think a program will be available in the future if you have 2 or 3k in a book to gain more benefits?

[SBR Lou]

Existing SBR PRO's that use the sponsor links are welcome to claim the 100pt bonus with a new signup, but the $200 figure still applies to collect it.

ok - thanks Lou - i know you answer a lot of question multiple times -- I forgot or never knew about the 200.

[jordan_gt_99]

thats nice on the points

[Sunde91]

What is BTP

[Jonah]

What is BTP

Stands for Beat The Prick.

[SBR Lou]

What is BTP

It is the Beat The Prick Football handicapping contest. It has a $160K total prize-pool.

[Sunde91]

I'm about to submit the PRO application, but want to clarify something first. So long as my balance is at least $200 at the time I submit the application, I will be qualified to be pro regardless of my balance at the time the application process is complete 2-4 days later?

That's correct.

[Scope33]

I only get 4 points a day .. how do you get 6?

[SBR Lou]

Scope,

You're actually getting 12 points a day as an SBR PRO.

Each day you get 4 points for logging in, and 8 points for your 1st post.

You can always view your complete point log history here.

[yisman]

well, after a few weeks of sweating this and trying to figure out a way to deposit to DSI, I think I finally made it.

I submitted my pro application and hopefully it will be confirmed.

How did you deposit ??

[yisman]

**. I took the cash to the nearest ** location and sent it.

It was a PITA because the guy used an initial and DSI didn't want an initial, but after about 45 minutes on hold with **, I think they fixed it.

I contacted DSI yet again and they told me it's good and I should check back soon.

It was really annoying making a deposit because I didn't want to use my bank account or credit card, and no book accepts paypal.

[dinaro7]

when will the pts go up

[Sunde91]

A VERY prompt upgrade (less than two days, confirmed on Saturday) just in time for the weekend, thanks SBR

[Bill Dozer]

when will the pts go up

The day you are confirmed. It's roughly 2-4 business days.

[HotStreak]

The process was quick and painless. All my internet friends are jealous already.
