John i would like my pms turned back on.

Refresh my memory, you lost PM's because you PM'd someone pretending to be a mod and gave them an infraction??

Jesus Christ this again just turn them back on.

[JohnGalt2341]

Damn that is alot of members who are SBR PROS. That is 5x more posters than some of the other major sites have. Now you need to create a SuperPro level

Super-Pro! I'm down baby!

[Extra Innings]

Thanks John

[SoCalFisher]

We will be coming down hard on non pros in the new year, basically watching every post they make and nit picking and calling fouls unlike the pros where we turn our heads a little more.

Joe, track deez.

[BestPlay2day]

Thank you SBR John for a great 2010! With the points and a great bash in Las Vegas, 2010 was a great year on SBR for me and many others. Can't wait to see what SBR comes up with in 2011!

When all the Laughter turned to sorrow

[tanner40]

[THE HITMAN]

[Extra Innings]

Jesus Christ this again just turn them back on.

Did you get my PM?

PM me by tomorrow as to whether or not you want my 12 daily points. If I don't here from you by noon, I'll be sending them to someone else.

All the Best,

Extra Innings

[Philavanh]

Thanks SBR for a great 2010 year

[nli07]

Thank you to SBR for such a great forum and the pts program. Looking forward to another great year!

SBR Non-pros should get NO points.

If u cant deposit $200 into a book, then what are u doing in a gambling forum? And dont say "i play with a local crap". Fine, u can play with a local, throw 2bills into a sponsored book.

and dont say, "I dont want John to know about what/how much i bet" I doubt he gives a shit what u bet cuz u can deposit 2bills, go all in- play the other side with ur "local" and u did ur part.

Some also say "I dont want sbr to make money off my losses". ...Who gives a shit? When u have a problem with a book and want Justin7 or other sbr employees to help u get ur money, they do right? U dont think having employees cost money???

[Mr. Jones]

The point system is a win win situation for everybody. A sincere thank you.

[THEGREAT30]

I am skeptical that 1200 people are Pros, just saying

[BigSpoon]

I'm relatively new here but only 1283 Pro members seems awfully low to me.

There's over 92K members on this forum.

[BonziWells]

Thank you SBR!

[Gonad]

Where else can I lose when it doesn't cost me real $$$? Thanks, SBR!

True, but the SBR Pro program only started in August of this year.

[jeffdane]

i love the points, think its gonna help me win money. no more action bets. action bets are played with points not cash. thanks dudes.

I would'nt take tacos advice on a USC ml, but this quote is dead on. I love when people say they don't want John to know what the bet. Honestly do you think John figures out your account number and then calls up the sportsbook and goes hey what has this account bet on the last five days?

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

thanks boss for the pizzas.

[cobalt king]

Go Pro or die!!!!

[peeteer]

SBR is great site. Thanks for everything.

horrible analogy. lots of us would have no problem depositing well over $200 into a book, but we choose not to. so what?

some of us know that we don't do all that well betting sports, but we enjoy the debate and the discourse. maybe we might consider it if we could learn how to make money at this game.

but most of us don't make money at the game and a lot of members here are learning to handicap betting their points--and realizing that maybe they should hold off on betting serious money, because if they can't win betting points...

if the powers that be don't want the non-pros around (and that appears to be the case, especially when they thank all of the SBR Pros and as an afterthought thank everyone else), then close all of the non-pro accounts. then you and all of of the other pros can sit around and lick each others nuts all night long.

[Skidcom]

Happy New Year John and Cheers! Another great year, thank you SBR

[SportsMushroom]

of course sbr makes money from non pros, sponsors pay sbr for banner space according to the amount of traffic, most of the traffic is generated by non pros obviously, and im pretty sure most of sbr income comes from selling banner space

[oiler]

How many of you guys remember the first days when we introduced the points program last year? Talk about some major nay sayers.

The Pro program also had its skeptics. But by the end of the year the program is a resounding success.

If you are not a Pro you might as well click that 'Become a Pro' button and join your 1200+ brothers and get in the party.

thanks for all the perks and hope for a good year

I think all the posters who post here should be appreciated. Maybe SBR_John can start another thread thanking the non-pros. There are some pretty good non-pros that contribute much more in terms of gambling knowledge than the Pros and we should all be thankful whether we like it or not.

Well said..

I wasn't gonna say anything but this thread is rather shady. Non-pros do contribute to the forum and I'm sure many non-pros have well over $200 in their accounts but choose for whatever reason not to become pro. Many of them are maybe depositing $50 or $100 in their accounts weekly(losing it all weekly as well)..them types of gamblers are highly valuable to SBR..

Either keep giving non-pros 6 points a day or make the whole forum pro only, which may not be a bad move and would surely eliminate points fraud..

[patswin]

its a no brainer to be a pro
