Uh, looking at your points log up until last week you were bringing the points into the sportsbook to do what? Bet on sports? Your decision to no longer bet on sports was because of the new restrictions on non-pros?

Some bet money and couldn't care less about points. Looks like points was all you had to bet with

**UntilTheNDofTimE** · 02-23-11, 10:55 AM

Four non taken...

I rarely find anything useless to reply to but i enjoy dads posts jj golds videos and i still love sports so i read up on stuff like that. Not like much " sports betting" talk happens in players talk neways

Sickler id just screw with points in casino when bored. I dont bet nemore cause the oppurtunity cost is horrid id much rather play poker 30 hours a week or invest in stock market.

**doublej95** · 02-23-11, 11:00 AM

If you don't even bet on sports anymore why waste your time

**UntilTheNDofTimE** · 02-23-11, 11:01 AM

Sickler i quit betting unofficially jan 2009 n have bets 2 instances for a day since then. The pro restriction had nothing to do with it.

Neways sleep time then a 16 hour shift of wrk + poker. Wooo

**RudyRuetigger** · 02-23-11, 11:17 AM

it appears some non pros can transfer more than 2 pts per day.

SBR what is going on here?

Rudy, get us some point history links.

**mighty maron** · 02-23-11, 11:27 AM

If you are non pro you can trade your points in for 100 trillion dollars

**icecapper** · 02-23-11, 11:28 AM

Not sure if there are many useful resources on here for non gamblers.

**Ninersnut** · 02-23-11, 11:30 AM

Yeah gotta be a pro.... I just took my daily points and ran them up to 350 while dicking around at work. Now I will have two pizzas tonight to watch some NCAAB with. Girlfriend should be happy that she doesn't have to cook.

**itriedsohard** · 02-23-11, 12:19 PM

just become pro. Im sure most everyone should be able to get 200 to a registered book.....

You eat two pizzas in one night?

**ttwarrior1** · 02-23-11, 12:44 PM

getting close myself on the points thing

**Bcatswin** · 02-23-11, 01:10 PM

Just waiting for my app to go through, hoping tonight...

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 02-23-11, 01:13 PM

Waiting for my bookie to die or I'll never leave him. Offshore books are for pussies

**VegasInsider** · 02-23-11, 01:19 PM

Hell no but I usually can knock out one with the girlfriend tonight and then we can both have some for lunch tomorrow.

**daimoshokage** · 02-23-11, 01:21 PM

**Rous** · 02-23-11, 01:37 PM

agreed

**Flexin** · 02-23-11, 01:39 PM

You could just let them build. Just forget them. If you decided to start betting then you should have enough for cash in a book to get you started.

Even if you don't bet sports with real money I don't see why you can't make the odd points bet for fun?

Build up enough points and you just have to place $200 with a sponsor and then go points shopping.

For you they may seem worthless, but for many non pros they still have lots of value. Many like myself will go pro at some point. Others will get a big poker win or get lucky in the book and will have enough to make it worth going pro for them.

Not a bad idea, I will always remember when you made that basketball video!!

Becoming a Pro is not worth whatever benefits it provides

**spankie** · 02-23-11, 01:56 PM

yeah transfering 2 a day really does suck.

**bogbat** · 02-23-11, 02:08 PM

lol, this is not primarily a discussion forum. It is a business. If you don't like it there is always TheRx which is also a business without the perks SBR has.

**MBENZ** · 02-23-11, 02:08 PM

From reading this thread it appears SBR is getting what they wanted when they put the squeeze on.

**bogbat** · 02-23-11, 02:14 PM

I'm curious to find out how many people have applied for pro status since the point system change.

Yah SBR is so unfair for giving you only 6 free points a day when your activities do nothing to support their bottom line.
