**doublej95** · 03-25-11, 08:03 PM

bodog is easy to deposit at, if you don't already have an account with them.

**UZI Suicide** · 03-25-11, 08:15 PM

I thought you just had to show that you had at least 200 bucks in one of their approved books to go PRO? Doesn't have to be a new account, I thought?

I did mine through legends. They have 20 cent lines for bases, but through western.union, i was able to get 25% extra cash + they paid to cover the charge of western.union. Pretty sure it's only 5x rollover too.

**tad0matic** · 03-25-11, 11:04 PM

well that sux if they changed requirements to open a new account only through them. pros will be grandfathered out eventually when all sbr sponsored books are used up.

**the_situation** · 03-25-11, 11:12 PM

Bodog is a good choice...good value on dogs and an A book

**ZetaPsi808** · 03-25-11, 11:16 PM

wagerchief is a solid book

**valaub04** · 03-25-11, 11:19 PM

bookmaker has had good customer service for me.

**hhsilver** · 03-25-11, 11:24 PM

maybe try betonline ... I think they will have 10cent baseball lines

**BrigadierPudding** · 03-25-11, 11:25 PM

If you're just looking for easiest books to deposit into, Bodog is a probably the best choice.

**mvp123** · 03-25-11, 11:37 PM

shit i think bodog sucks id never put anything in there jmo

**superwerewolf6** · 03-25-11, 11:44 PM

i did it at sportsinteraction with the instant deposit e check it was instant too. and they had a $125 bonus when i deposited $200. they might still have it. anything else about that book i have no idea , i just wanted to become pro.

**onlooker** · 03-26-11, 01:49 AM

Since they changed the rules for "new" SBRpro sign ups.

What are the new rules for renewals, when the time comes?

**Gruntworker** · 03-26-11, 01:55 AM

wow... I didn't know about this rule change. Which board should I be browsing for all the rule changes?

You would think they would have "sticky" announcements when they change something.

Never mind. They had one in the Newbie forum, that I hardly visit. But I went looking. http://forum.sbrforum.com/newbie-forum/

SBR Forum - Sports Betting Talk - Sportsbook Review Forum

http://forum.sbrforum.com/newbie-forum/999007-sbrforum-pro-program-newbies-guide-all-things-pro.html

Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.

Should make rule changes in announcements in the Player Talk or Saloon.

**MBENZ** · 03-26-11, 03:59 AM

Hopefully they will rethink this policy by August.

**stc1709** · 03-26-11, 07:20 AM

yea i would prefer bodog

**Smoke** · 03-26-11, 07:38 AM

They changed it, need a new book and fresh deposit. Seems like the original plan was to get pros now they change it to keep pro.....

Players who have already signed up at the listed sportsbook sponsors should send an email to forum@sbrforum.com for accommodations." And this is what you are saying NOW in the posts above! ALL? you changed the rules from ONE to ALL in mid-stream to fit your answer? "Posters that can show that they had preexisting accounts at all sportsbooks prior to March 1st, 2011 can e-mail forum@sbrforum.com for accommodations. Please explain this flip flop of stated rules when you indicated members would be able to receive an accommodation by letting you know we had ONE existing account with one of your commission to SBR advertising sportsbooks.
RITZ,

I'm sorry for any confusion. We've tried to make the requirements as clear and straightforward as possible. A word may have been updated to accomplish that. This thread was also created as an outlet to field and answer Qs to ensure there's no possible misunderstanding.

The accommodation you reference couldn't logically be for a poster who merely had one account with an SBRforum sponsor. The accommodation is grandfathering in posters who already had preexisting accounts with all US-facing sponsors.

LOU- Masterful spin job here. Politics are in your future. RITZ

"I'm sorry for any confusion. We've tried to make the requirements as clear and straightforward as possible. A word may have been updated (UPDATED IS NICE SPIN ON CHANGED)to accomplish that.

THAT IS ABSURD TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR OWN PRINTED RULES CHANGE REQUESTED MEMBERS TO HAVE ACCOUNTS AT 13 SITES,.. HOW MANY MEMBERS HAVE ACCOUNTS AT ALL 13 SITES LISTED? HIGHLY UNLIKELY AND THUS THERE REALLY IS NO ACCOMMODATION AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF YOUR LATER CHANGE OF THE RULES OR SHOUD I SAY "UPDATE WORDS" IN MID-STREAM.

Lou you are an intelligent person, please see this and recognize this inconsistency. I look forward to you accommodating members as you stated in your own rules. I have an account at one of your commission listed sites and will make a new deposit so SBR can get their split.

**RITZ** · 03-26-11, 10:18 PM

The above tells the whole story of their flip flop.
