    Yes, reminders will be sent 30 days prior to PRO Membership expiring.

    I misspoke in my initial post, the PRO Program began in September so the first wave of PRO's would need to renew the following September... but PRO's that joined in October onward would renew exactly 12 months later.

                      The problem is the 50 cent millionaires are getting flushed out of the closet in droves and this is only the day shift.

Am I wearing lipstick Lou? Because I at least like to look pretty when I am getting fukked.
                        dont be ridicioulous man, they are giving away free sh!t. How can you complain about that? You don't have to apply to be a pro if you don't want to be.

                            I am all for weeding out the leeches so I like the restrictions on the non pros. I wish SBR had taken it a step further and restricted contests like Beat the Prick to pros only.

That very could of been added later, but I'll be the first to admit, I didn't read the terms, since I was putting in money anyways, so why not get double SBR points. You guys planning on adding any other status'? Like if you're a pro already, and you DEPOSIT another 500 you become a higher level pro, where you don't get infractions for calling people cunts?
                                      As much of a jest that this post is... I would actually like another level of PRO. Keep the original "Pro" status the same, but have an option for something like "Elite Pro" or whatever u want to call it. Players that can prove a hold of of a more significant amount in a sports book should be able to have extra benefits. A further discount in the store? More points / day for contributing? Zero fees on point transfers between Pro's, etc. There's lots you could do with it.

                                        What I mean is don't request a payout from one of your books in August. Just keep the balance their until they approve your Pro membership and then cash out. I always have several hundred in my books at that time of the year because I bet soccer in the summer so I don't see it as a problem if the requirement is $200 or $400 for Pro membership in September 1st.

                                          That screenname is already taken. No need for more money, either.
                                          Guess who.

                                                  Yeah not sure if the timing was right for this announcement just days before Christmas. Now we have posters trading insults and fighting with the mods instead of all celebrating the birth of Jesus and singing Kumbaya.

Keep the original "Pro" status the same, but have an option for something like "Elite Pro" or whatever u want to call it. Players that can prove a hold of of a more significant amount in a sports book should be able to have extra benefits. A further discount in the store? More points / day for contributing? Zero fees on point transfers between Pro's, etc. There's lots you could do with it.

                                                    i dont want more points...I just want to be able to call someone a cunt without receiving an infraction.



                                                    John...Can I only receive 10 points a day and be able to call someone a cunt PLEASE

                                                        Anyway, this is classic business. It's a lesson to everyone.

                                                        My lesson: While I knew in advance that "there would be some changes coming," I mistakenly thought they would only affect non-Pros as an incentive/inducement to register an account as Pro, which is, of course, how SBR makes some of the their money. I see that Pros aren't 100% on board as well. I didn't foresee that.

                                                          Well last time they announced a price hike, many posters bitched and moaned that there was not enough warning in advance of the changes. So this time they gave plenty of notice. I think they wanted to give at least a 30 day notice.

Am I wearing lipstick Lou? Because I at least like to look pretty when I am getting fukked.
                                                            You seem like a pretty good handicapper which is who the points are for. Surely you can understand the the book's who pay for this aren't in the business of feeding all who sign up free pizza and need to know they are supporting active players. To compare sportsbooks with our free (and volunteer) rewards here doesn't make sense.

                                                            Congrats on your BTP prize money!

I believe SBR said on multiple occasions there would be no price increases until football is over and football is over in February. The price increases were part of SBR's plan all along.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis.
