    I mean say a poster with 0 pointspost a question and he might get a couple response. But say a poster with 1000 points post and everyone will be replying because they think the poster will give them points for good response

      Points mean nothing if your not a SBR Pro. I bet with a bookie through a local website and don't plan on changing but now theres no point of having these points and I can't even transfer them to people to get rid of them.

        Points are irelivent as they fluctuate as you spend them and drop them in the SBR casino(im a video poker feind) Its more about what your saying. And becoming a pro is good for a million ways i would recomend it not that hard just get 200 in a sportbook acount.

              Points are worth pennies. You'd have to have truckloads of points to have respect.

              Perhaps trixtrix is thought of as a sharp gambler. He had lots of points.

                Post count and building a reputation are more important than points by a lot.

                  I don't look at peoples points. I had a pretty good collection of points until I discovered the casino.

                    Let them build up then. At one point they will amount to enough value that you would be almost crazy not to go pro. 3 years posting could give you $1000 free plays or so. It could also give you about $400+ in electronics. So right there you can double your $200 needed to go pro. And that isn't even a fee. You could take it off or bet it. Unless you bet it and lose, it doesn't cost you.

                    You could also bet them in the book just for something to do and earn a lot with a good run. Do well and you could buy a computer or tv, and you have a chance to do that for free.

                        Exactly, you have over 2000 pts and I have no clue who you are. I have over 1000 and get no respect.

                              I used to have loads of points. Instead they go into the book. It's just about talking with other posters in threads and winning. If you win you will make friends easy. Once you lose, people will probably attack you.

                                  Only the strong survive in forum-ville.

                                  Picking winners and helping others is what we are all here for. Don't overhype plays like Broke landers (which hit at a 12% clip) and u will be ok.

                                    I have no respect for the point beggers other than that the amount of points a person has means nothing to me.

                                        No

                                        Most people that have a lot of points got lucky and or do not bet real money

                                        I do not bother trying to build points

                                          Only way to earn respect around here is to post consistent winners and know when to stop.
                                          That is why no around here has any respect.

                                            I don't think anybody earns respect around here. Its just a bunch of gamblers. If you have some good picks it just means your on a winning streak. Nobody who posts here is a big time winner. They wouldn't be wasting their time.

                                              the amount of points next to someone's name is irrelevant
                                              they might have 0 but 2000 in the sportsbook that don't show up

                                              or they could continually cash them in like me rather than build them up

                                                  Points SPENT is probably the best indicator of who is doing best with pts............

                                                  Also, those that say pts are worthless, are wrong........most good gamblers/grinders have produced $2000 per year since the pts have been issued...........not much certainly, but nothing that should be ignored.............and many have done much better this.

                                                      Points are gravy to what is a good site to begin with, but respect goes to posters for their picks, analysis, and comments.

                                                        You need to have a lot of points and a lot of posts to get street cred here.

At one point they will amount to enough value that you would be almost crazy not to go pro. 3 years posting could give you $1000 free plays or so. It could also give you about $400+ in electronics. So right there you can double your $200 needed to go pro. And that isn't even a fee. You could take it off or bet it. Unless you bet it and lose, it doesn't cost you.

                                                          You could also bet them in the book just for something to do and earn a lot with a good run. Do well and you could buy a computer or tv, and you have a chance to do that for free.
