Changes to the SBR point system: Effective Feb 15

[frankzig]

if you could set up enough accts to amount to enough points too buy anything worthwhile............YOU have way to much time on your hands

[Bill Dozer]

It's good for two purposes. 1) Sponsor sportsbooks who pay for it are getting more of a return and 2) It adds another layer of fraud protection with the sportsbooks who only cashout to verified acct holders.

If youre not betting with an online book, no problem, SBRpoints is a feature and there are lots of things to use at SBR. And, you can go pro anytime and cashout the points you won.

So who pays for the stuff in the store? The books do?

Fantasy bullshit? People on here have bought PS3's, laptop cases, all kinds of free plays/cash with that fantasy bullshit. So far I got $68 in free plays.

The easy fix for that is to not go in the casino if you feel its fixed.

it really is amazing to me how hard it is for some people to have $200 in a book.

I agree...lots of panhandlers around here looking for anything they can get for free. The screws should be tightened even more on non-pro's. I agree with SBR and what they're doing, but I think they could tighten them even more. It's in they're best interest, and we benefit in the end.

agreed. i wish the inflation could have been only on the non-pros instead of everyone.

its actually surprising the inflation wasn't higher, a ton of members are now receiving 2x the points they used to get and inflation hasn't raised nearly enough to offset that

[Josy]

I am new here but I can understand and agree with changes. SBR has to stop cheaters.

[odtw524]

yeah what a terrible change

Nah, I think it's just that the points program has been more costly than anticipated.

This thread should be stickied, especially since doomsday...err ummm I mean Feb. 15th is approaching.

[aceking]

just put $200 in book A , $200 in book B .

bet opposite sides at -105 and withdraw all .

only cost you $9.52 and you're a SBR Pro !

I think they might want it to be overlooked.

edit: never mind - i just went back to page 1 of this 20 page thread --- I saw that so long ago i forgot about it , thanks for the reminder

[beermankirk]

How many SBR pros are there?

You better use your points silver, if not, donate them to me

[Mthorn]

Forgot all about this.. Good thing it bumped up.

[secretstash]

im still baffled this thread is called merry christmas like its a good thing.. lol its 90% bad for the posters/point earners and only Negative for sbr pros... they have no positives out of this.. if they said we were getting 1 or 2 pts more per day it would be christmas.. but to charge us 8% more and give us no extra benefits, I think its more like Happy D DAY

[pm4e]

I think the points system is quite generous even with the changes. I wish there was a private forum that only Pros could post in.

[BigSpoon]

I guess I should spend my points very soon then before the 8% inflation hits.

[rm18]

people are overreacting 8% not that much I probably hang on to most of my points

[chachi]

considering points are free ...

[BestPlay2day]

Not a bad idea for someone wanting to be a SBR Pro cheap, just have to make sure they decline any bonuses otherwise you will have a 4-5 times rollover. I would think most SBR members wouldn't do this and will want to deposit and keep their money in an account to bet with long term.

[G's pks]

Not that big a deal for the pros 80 more points per 1000 in cost...but 8% is 8%.

But the non pros will be extremely limited in what they can do believe it is either sportsbook or items with sbr logos and that needs to be straightened out...seems Dozier was saying just sportsbook and sbr john seemed to be saying sportsbook and sbr logo items...well either way the points for non pros should get sbr a few fresh accounts for the sponsors...

[no1here]

reminder! points increasing Tuesday

[SR]

You tools are talking about inflation? This is not currency. The price was arbitrarily set form the beginning. The problem was with fraud and ghost accounts.

Why the hell are Pros getting Fed becuase a bunch of high school kids have time to sit here with ghost accounts all day churning pts.

Raise the rates or stop the program alltogether for the non-pros, they are worthless to the sportsbooks anyways. If you cant afford to put 200 in a book one time in the course of your betting life then you ARE NOT MEANINGFUL to the sportsbooks who pay for the crap.

Don't screw the golden goose which are the pros who use these books.

It makes more sense to take the deposit bonus and keep the balance there, so you can qualify for cash prizes in future SBR contests that require a deposit.

I deposited into DSI and have kept the money there, meeting rollover along the way and accumulating BetPoints.

Non Pros will be able to purchase new sportsbook account special offers. We will also have SBR shirts when available.
