    well boys, we can't get a better source than this guy here to confirm it.

    if this would have been over, i would have went off my diet till xmas and just ordered pizza everyday till i have no more pts. i would have though had an extra 32 lbs to lose for 2011. but worth it.

    had it been over, i would have been sad and missed the days of not being home and its 1123 pm and i have 37 min to get home and make 1 post before midnight to get my 12 pts.. i remember many times i hadn't posted all day and was on the road and i had to drive 12 miles home in 42 min to get that 12 pts..and i drove over the speed limit and i made it home for 1158 pm..

    i also remember once i was far and had 20 miles to make it home for the 12 pts and i was 45 min away, and didn't make it in time. there was an accident on the highway. man i was pissed.. i didn't get the 12 pts that day..

    but i am happy sbr pts will still be around. they are now a part of my life. i love them..

      I think much will depend on how SBRJOHN and the gerbils do with their "SPECIALS"...............

        If you noticed the big time investment in our own poker platform, you know points are good until at least March.

          OK I see. The sponsors are paying for part of the shirt cost for their logo. I guess if is small it wouldn't be a problem. Kind of hard to be walking in church with a big Bookmaker logo on the polo.

              I think the most shocking thing of this whole thread is that Paver goes to church..

                .....and this pokerrom should and will generate lots of pts back into the SBR PTS BANK.

                Especially when the damn thing expands their operating hours.

                    all SBR has to do is make point redemption based
                    on rollover requirements. Points would have to be wagered to a certain rollover
                    level in the sportsbook, casino, race, poker, contests before they can be redeemed.
                    That move would nullify the trolls and freeloaders who don't have the balls
                    to bet, and the point-counting loan sharks who think they are bank presidents.

                      wouldn't be so bad if this were real.

                      it would get rid of a lot of forum trash.

                        Good it will give me something to spend points on. I am with Pavy, you would never catch me in public with logo-ed shirts. Love my Tommy Bahamas here at the beach. Their restaurant here is good too.

                          That's a great idea. But the sportsbook needs to offer more lines to bet on to accelerate the rollover requirements.

In fact, less than cost! This is a great way for the sponsors to reward SBR members.

                                Mods; I moved this thread back, its pretty clear this is a joke.
                                which mod moved this thread?...e-net power trip?

                                  I would say enough for 6 months until the anarchy in the streets blows over...just look at a few in this thread

                                  that should tell you the type of panic and rage that would ensue when SBR points are abolished

                                              Whatever the deal was for the SBR pro for how long that lasted until you have to renew it....it should last at least that long

                                              Otherwise people gave that information and/or deposited on false pretenses and that would not be cool
                                              you seem the most worried in this thread...

                                                      Not at all worried. I'd still love SBR and I don't think points are going to be canceled this year.
                                                      I do think it would be wrong to go back on the original SBR Pro deal though.

                                                        How about waiting for people to reach 250 or 500 posts before awarding points so than non-gamblers don't come in here just for the points?

                                                          Do you really think it will decrease the nonesense posts?

                                                              The points program will continue to be expanded. As I mentioned, look for sponsors to make available (to Pros) great logo apparel at below cost point-pricing. And I think in the future the cost of free plays and sportsbook cash will come down for Pro's. The Pro's are a group that sponsors are willing to take care of in hoped of earning their business.
