Post here if you will never be a sbr pro

[ttwarrior1]

im one, ill never have 200 deposited anywhere

Could be the downfall of SBR. Not sure whose idea it was but will likely get fired unless it was an owner

[acarmelo1]

I will never be a pro, no reason to send 200 to a sportsbook when I have 20 books 10 minutes away by car. I am here for freeplays and free cash

[shari91]

Why would anyone get fired? It's a brilliant idea. Not only are there more than enough people with $200 in a sponsored book but it'll somewhat help determine who's here just to play around and suck up points and who is serious about gambling. I'd take someone's opinion a little more seriously if I knew they were actually gambling and not just talking fluff on here.

[jjgold]

I will

Just working out some stuff in my head right now

[ttwarrior1]

sorry but i can't suck up and agree, i think its a bad horrific idea. Im serious about gambling, just don't have 200 to deposit. I feel like there is no hope. No wonder some voted for obama now. Hope.

[WeinketoWarrick]

good riddance.

having money at reliable offshore books is a must for anybody that isn't just a complete jokerdick.

[ttwarrior1]

Don't post in this post if your gonna be a pro, can u read

Well put.

Shari, keep in mind becoming a pro member doubles the daily points. That's enough incentive right there for the point hounds to scrape together $200. Doesn't make them a serious gambler.

I don't care about points. I will qualify to become a pro member but will I make the transition?

I wont become a pro Shari because i cant be bothered with it and dont need the extra points. DO you think i am a serious gambler Shari?

[ttwarrior1]

lol but people with 200 get extra points, how bogus is that. Here we go again. I said post here if your not gonna be a sbr pro.
And yes mods please remove his post.

excellent posts, If thats the case , then how about the pros only get half the points as regular members and no I don't have 200 . Why would i need 200 to be a gambler. Next thing you know you can't even be allowed to be a sbr member

Why should this be the downfall of SBR???

Free rollers will still earn points just not as many as those of us who give the books that offer the freeplays a a reason to sponsor SBR.

It is likely that SBR has worked out a deal for more money with their sponsors under the new point system and should also save money long term because they will not be giving out as many freeplays.

I think the biggest misunderstanding around here is this "SBR needs us" mentality when it is real "we need SBR" Trust me SBR gets more money from its sponsors than it receives for having a lot of traffic from degenerate jobless gamblers who are only posting so they can get a few points to blow in the casino hoping to earn enough points to buy a measly $50 freeplay.

Good point, probably a much better point than Shari's. I'm not so sure if the poor 15 year olds on the forum such as tltaylor will be able to deposit, but I deposited for the sole intention of getting the double points, and I'm by no means a serious gambler.

Yeah, I see what you're saying but if someone has to 'scrape together' $200 just to get double points when all the prices in the store went up anyway and it'll take that much longer to cash out for anything, well... they deserve an A for effort, if not an A for their money management strategies.

You're a little bit different than the average poster on here. Everyone knows you mainly use locals. Believe me, this is a pain in the ass for me too after JJ screwed my PayPal and now it turns out, my MoneyBookers account. But I'm still going to do it. Stop being lazy and set your baby up with every Apple product available on SBR's dime.

[OmgUrMom]

whats good u told the mods to delete your post then you made another one. and you called acarmelo stupid

[Dirty Sanchez]

Dude if you don't like it here...no one is holding a gun to your head...hit the streets. Your bitching is for what reason? It's a free country...go about your business

[acarmelo1]

I think is a good Idea, but I have no reason to deposit. the poker thing will be nice if they let non-pro play too. I suck at Texas Hold Em so maybe some expert guy here will end winning all my points

You didn't address the flip side. You said becoming a pro member would separate the serious gamblers from the non-serious. Many seasoned (ie serious) gamblers are laughing at these penny points.

[ttwarrior1]

nope the poker is for pro only, sorry we are out

It was a joke.

That is sad

I was giving my opinion. And let them laugh at the whole thing - they don't need to sign up, now do they? But if someone doesn't bother signing up when they already have money in the account and they log in here every day, it's pretty silly in my opinion. If that's the case, they should just pull a Pavy and ask SBR to turn their points off. But of course they won't because they're using the points, aren't they? But that's their prerogative as it is mine to determine who I wish to take a little more seriously when the board is flooded with new people every day.

Dang, took the words out of my mouth and made them more sensible too!

In the future all new games and contests will be for the Pro's. We don't mind everyone else getting exactly what we have now...all good. But we have a great new game of SBR Jeopardy Sports Trivia where you can win a bunch of free points but only Pros will participate. Plus, of course Pros get double points every day which is pretty cool.

[/B] Yup thats what i was trying to point out Shari.

Actually, the more that I think about the point that you're making - that 'seasoned' gamblers are laughing at these penny points - the more that this is making me laugh as well.

I'd be curious to see a list of those deemed 'seasoned' by you and what they have done with their points. Do they use them for anything other than the casino? I know you do LB. If you don't have a book funded already and can't be bothered, then fair enough. But if someone does and they don't spend 2 minutes to sign up because they're 'laughing' at the points yet they're using them to purchase things from the store anyway, that seems like a ridiculous move on their part.

Actually like Shari said if someone is posting on this forum they might as well take the points.

I think many serious gamblers are about value and realize the value in free money, if a player bets $2,500 per game with an edge of 2% he is only expecting to make $50 per wager so a $50 freeplay is a no brainer.

[THE PROFIT]

How many points are we getting daily now? Non pros that is!

So you wanna get rid of points whores by giving them double points??? Kinda silly, but whatever.

Its an OK idea I guess, It makes the books happy I'm sure, so its good business sense for SBR. I may become a pro in a few days, I don't think I have $200 in any book now, but gonna deposit in a week or so for football season. I havent had time to read what all of this is about, but looks interesting

[OmgUrMom]

panamammamian connection sbr poker is for only pros unfortunately

I agree here with Shari, if I had 200 on a Sportsbook , I will be a pro by now.

[jw]

Betfair and ehorsex are pretty much the only two books I use ... I have a few hundred in BetPhoenix too .. but that's pretty much all from freeplays ....

Was going to throw another couple of hundred in another book just to get pro status ... (I figure an extra 6 points each day * 365 points = 2190 points or an extra $400 per year in freeplays at current rates ... ) It pretty much pays for itself

Took me a couple of days to decide on BetJamaica ... then I find out they don't have a decimal odds option - WTF ! I can't figure out these damn American odds .... heck - i'm still working on fractions in my head .... gotta pick another book that lets me play in Non-US figures.

[bobbyfk]

send bodog $200 JUST SO I could be a pro....
