    Yeah I get that. The points have some value. They always have since the SBR store open its doors. As mentioned in my previous post, my only purchase was a charity donation.

    Make the points worth $1 each and I'll reconsider.

      Looking at this,SBR could have shut the program to the ones that aren't posted up,they didn't.All they did was put out a reward to the ones that do support the sponsors.I don't see where anybody got hurt here.If you don't want to post up,you still get something for nothing,if you do post up,you get more for nothing.Carry on.

        very interesting. this is actually pretty smart.

                yes its a ploy! A good one too. SBR knows what the fuk they're doing! Send $200 to 5 or 6 of their sponsors & your life will be changed! You'll get more pussy, your coffee will be less bitter, your hair will grow back, your teeth will be whiter, your dik will grow 4"!

                  Thanks Lou....


                  If you gamble online, most people have money in 1 of the sponsors books, so why not send in your application, it's more SBR points for you to dick around with. And if you actually gamble with real money(online), and not just SBR points, you'll be betting that 200 bucks anyways, so why not throw it in an account, and get double SBR points while your at it????

                        yup. my theory is the people that don't switch don't bet with real money and/or don't have enough at this point in time and therefore can't become a pro. that begs the question of why they are even a part of this forum in the first place.

                        and sickler since you don't seem to care about the points at their current value, can i have your 65 and 6 per day as i do care about them at the current value?

                          It's a great business move by SBR.And it's not like we have to pay $200.it's a deposit,it's still your money.
                          i love what they did

                            We have a lot of things to do around here for non Pro's that will be the base that all newcomers and guys who can not afford to get more involved can always have some fun with.

                            But we also have some extremely cool new games coming. Like Sports Trivia Jeopardy style. You can win a lot of points playing our new Jeopardy but of course this and all the new games will be Pro only. The new SBR poker will allow Pro's to play for free cash put up by poker sponsors. By the end of the year sportsbook bonus money and freeplays will be priced differently in the store with the Pro's getting a nice price break. This program will make a lot more sense to everyone after we get a little further down the line.

                              Guys, I thought that the $200 minimum was a little too low. I mean you are at a gambling forum. It would be assumed that you are betting everyday of course.


                              I think that they should have required each poster to have $200 in 3 or 4 books to become PRO

                                No its not a gimmick and if you don't have at least $200 in an A+ book then why the heck are you even posting on an Internet gambling forum.

                                    Hmmm, you have convinced me of not buying my freeplay of this month. What to do with so many points? Will have to continue as a loan shark, errr... helping people in need of points, I mean.

                                        Same idea when sportsbooks have parties or when casinos give you free drinks. Everyone is hoping you lose. They want you to lose with them, though, which is the reason for the perks.

                                              So you are getting the same benefits as someone who is not a Pro.


                                              No you're not hallucinating...I got accepted today into PRO. I sent in my application on monday though.

                                              Once again you're not hallucinating.

                                                    SBR_John,

                                                    Do you need to be an SBR PRO to join the Beat The Prick contest this year? I would assume so.

                                                    This also means that you guys are middleman for deposits to these bookies. I would hope that SBR has a lot more say in the wrong doings by some of these books.

                                                    So pretty much if I deposit $200 into DSI I will be an SBR PRO and I will also be eligible for the BTP contest this year with cash prizes?

                                                        I already had the money in my account to go Pro, and I would say it is worth it. Not sure why anyone would come to theses forums anyway if they don't play with real money. I'm kind of surprised the minimum is only $200.

                                                          I agree. If you are on here and can't come up with $200.00 something is wrong. Would of liked to see the minimum 1k+

                                                            1. Not all of my gambling is done with offshore books.

                                                            2. I'm pretty much barreled in right now.

                                                            I've been posting to this forum longer then many on here. It's obviously a gimmick because anybody can sign up for SBR today, deposit 200 bucks in an account today, and all of a sudden they are an SBR Pro while people who have been here for a few years trying and testing a lot of the new stuff SBR has thrown our way get shit on.

                                                            You don't have to be gambling everyday with decent to large amounts of money to be posting on this forum. In fact if that were the case you would lose about 60 pecent of posters on here.
