    SBR Class Warfare.
    Class conflict refers to the concept of underlying tensions or antagonisms which exist in society due to conflicting interests that arise from different social positions.
    With the emergence of the new Pros program we're seeing the tensions rise as non-pro members are feeling left out. They voice their disdain and concern over the trend of "pro only" events and incentives.

    What I'm having a hard time understanding is why these same members do not simply walk away or become pros? If it is an issue of money why are you on a gambling forum in the first place? If it's an issue of principle, shut the fukk up. If it's because you're a ghost, well that's great, go fukk yourself.

    To all non-pros complaining and trying to create some kind of equality amongst posters I'm just letting you know those days are dead. You should be more than happy with the points you get for showing up and leaving page impressions.

    Instead what do we see? We see the audacity of members with no investment biting the SBR hand that feeds. They cry foul because they are unable to take part but I ask, why not? There is no IQ requirement, no racism, no sexism. This is not discrimination or some kind of online genocide. You complain because you have grown fat and accustomed to having things given to you. You complain because you think your opinions carry weight. You complain because you are simply unable to do anything else.

    You sicken me and if you had any dignity whatsoever, you should sicken yourselves. Look what you've become.

    The system is moving on and not that it comes as any surprise, it moves on without you.

    Are people complaining?! Honestly I haven't seen it.

    If I could figure out way to fund a book I'd be all over it but I'm still stuck at the moment. I'd hope everyone is being cool about this.

          Sometimes new programs take a bit to settle in. As time goes on every newbie that comes in will of course be a non Pro and most of the regulars will be Pro.

            Sir, why are you not a Pro? It just seems ironic that you aren't a Pro.

                = the Brinks truck backing up to SBRJohn's door at the expense of the posters, again.

                  Its like going to a dentist who has bad teeth.
                  Or hiring a mechanic who drives a broken down car.
                  Or using an investment adviser who's poor and homeless.
                  Or paying a tout who only gives out losers,

                    Last I checked not everyone gamles offshore..

                    Maybe ask some of SBR's bigger names who tend to post winners why the are not "pros" such as Paco, Lakerboy, Pavyracer, etc..

                        Being a Pro is more of a fad that will go away. Since no one knows what the benefits of being a Pro are keep bragging you are a Pro and keep chasing a chimera. Exactly what benefits are you getting by being a Pro? You get 6 more points and the promise of special treatment and events for Pro snobs.

                        Let me tell you something. I have some swamp land to sell you if you are interested.

                          Also, what promise? Pros have already played a Bodog poker tournament to win cash.

                            The incentives are not enough as of yet to overcome my own inertia.
                            Until then more kindling for the fiery debate!
