When do we renew pro membership?

When do we renew pro membership?

If you still have pm's from last year, look for a welcome to Pro pm. A year later is time to renew.
-------------

Has there been any announcement yet on the exact conditions for renewal. It's getting close to that time for many of us.

[jeffdane]

Well if u deposit a few weeks early does that count? If you deposit a week after, are you still a pro in the meantime, is there a grace period.

[Nookx]

No price increases = win.

[SpreadSniper]

so a donation of $200 is all that is needed? no sportsbook account info?

How is this $200 donation made?

[zam77]

Consider 3x rollover for poker contest winnings. A better starting point imo (can always go up from there). Intrigued to see how much of an increase poker contest winnings will be?

A few pages back...

We are working with several major international charity's. Hopefully we will be able to put up a link that takes you directly to their secure donation site where members can make their donation and name SBR as well. We will have something on that soon.

[I/O]

Is SBR gonna change the rates they charge touts to post in the regular sports forums?

[tblues2005]

SBR John I haven't seen you answer my question yet on if you are still going to get points on the day you signed up with on a yearly basis?

I think it is a terrible idea to depend on the casino here also when you get trivia points. It seems to me I lose an awful lot on the casino. If you would allow that to be in the book and the race book then I am fine with that.

[secretstash]

John.. anyway the rollovers can be in increments of like 5 or 10 pts..

so say I win 500 at poker tournament.. i have 2500 rollover.. can I get 10pts for each 50pts I rollover? instead of waiting to get it in one lump sum?... doesnt this make more sense? and in effect its how pokerstars and fulltilt and dozens of other sites do rollover with poker.

just a suggestion as this might sound more possible and likeable with most people.

12 X 365 = 4XXX Now that is what PRO'S get for points.

Amazon gift card is 1050 or so points. 4200 points for 200 worth of gift cards. It costs 200 to become a pro, there is no restriction on that 200 you deposit, it's just your money to gamble with like usual. BUT now you are also receiving 200 dollars in gift cards just for gambling your own money that you'd be gambling anyways.

Whoa, there is actual perks to becoming a PRO. So don't say points mean nothing.

Actually, pros get a lot more than that gates. Done forget the 2 times a week trivia, which I would say averages out to another 50 points a week. ( First one is usually a gimme, and you will get the second question right once a week ) So tack on another 2600 points a year.

Everyone has a right to make their own decision, but the excuses non pros give are just silly and usually downright dumb. I dont know why its so hard for people to just admit they dont have the $200.

And I only give people shit for being non pro if they give me shit first. Like when I post 3 winners in a row and noone posts in the thread after the game wins, then I post the Jays +111 and AFTER the game, here come all the non pros talking about how the play was a sure loser. Of course they didnt post a word until after the game.

I know there are a lot of trolls that do that, but it seems 95% who do that are non pros.

Mbenz, we will be announcing BeatThePrick 2011 Edition by the end of the month.

I posted this in the "site suggestions" section, where it likely will never get read. But here is my suggestion for BTP. Agree? Disagree?

How about making them multi-sponsored contests? A Hypothetical example would be having BTP sponsored by several different books (the more, the better), and give the SBR members the option of choosing any of the participating books (like on the pro application) to have the prize money credited to. How many people did not sign up/deposit for BTP last year because the one sponsored book was not to their liking? Or simply because the inconvenience of signing up/depositing at a book they have no previous experience with? Having a multi-sponsored BTP contest where SBR members have the option of multiple books to choose from will be a huge convenience to the players wanting to participate, likely lead to at least twice as many depositing players for the contest, which will equal more money for SBR. A win-win for both sides.

[robotralph]

OKay, but what about sportsbook deposits from the store?

Sorry no US citizens may participate.

Guess it's not coming to US for sure now huh?

[RudyRuetigger]

will someone check horsiehung's account???
every point goes to legitbet

how about dumbasses that are stiffs??

Yes, those too. They are the worst.

If you still have pm's from last year, look for a welcome to Pro pm. A year later is time to renew. ------------- Has there been any announcement yet on the exact conditions for renewal. It's getting close to that time for many of us.

A PM will be sent to every SBR Pro exactly 30 days before their membership expires. Additionally, exactly 30 days from their membership expiration, their user title will change with a link to the renewal form. If a poster expires August 8th 2011 and renews on July 20th, his new expire date is August 8th, 2012. This ensures there's never a lapse in his Pro status, sorta like car insurance coverage. =)

[jeffdane]

thanks lou,

US stiffed.

That sucks.

Thanks Shari. I guess there has been so many responses I missed it. It has been crazy here. Thanks.

No problem! Definitely hard at times to keep track of it all with so many responses in a thread.

Click on "Player Transfer" under Debit Type

Given away over 4,900 points to dank_fire... and i thought dank was a good poster

it literally takes 30 seconds to catch these people

[Grandmaster B]

Thanks for the updates.

your hustle just got shut down

time to apply at cars jr

[a4u2fear]

This site got worse. Rarely does anyone win at the casino let alone SBR casino. It's impossible to beat now and will only get worse. You will win 1500 pts in a contest only to be lucky to have 5 pts of it left after rolling it over.

Like I said. If there are poker rollovers then there better ******* be sngs everyday. I'm not losing 500 pts in one hand of a ring game cuz I have to roll them over. If there aren't any sngs, taking my time elsewhere

[mikejamm]

Trivia points will be casino points.

so we have to roll over our trivia winnings?

what? sure taking a big chance with your SBR PRO's from the USA so far, as of right now you lose me as a PRO.

Here's a fuk'in idea! Why not create a constant revolving multiple points turnover, so that way you never have to fuk'in pay out shit to anyone? Oh wait a minute, that's exactly what the fuk you are doing. Fuk'in casino points? What a bullshit ripoff! That fuk'in sbr casino is a joke! You guys have really blown it! Fuk this place!

[pavyracer]

This is getting silly actually. I can understand why points won in poker tourney have to be rolled over at poker ring games and why points won in BTP need to be rolled over in the Points book but requiring points won in Trivia to be rolled over in Casino is silly. Why don't you lower the points won in Trivia instead and forget the rollover at the casino. Maybe do 10p, 20p, 30p for each progressive question and the points are yours to keep.

[gamemastere]

Totally agree pavy, wat does sports trivia have to do with casino games? Trivia was a perk offered only if you became SBRPro. Answer correctly win points. Now not only must you correctly answer the question but then you must gamble them in the casino many times over before they are yours to keep. Makes no sense at all.

[noober]

Agree that trivia points shouldn't be rolled over at the casino. Maybe at the sportsbook.

[Roadtrip635]

What's next, if I give someone 2 points for a post will they have to roll those over in the casino as well?

[RudyRuetigger]

thanks for the points

i guess the more you turn someone in the less points you get.

this is my strategy:

1. i login and post
2. i transfer my points to aca
3. click movers and shakers
4. on that page you can see who does peer to peer transfers
5. eliminate all the guys that do loans, and transfers less than 10 points or so
6. if not a service play guy, its more likely something suspicious
7. investigate for 20 seconds

steps 1 and 2 i do anyway, so 3-7 takes me less than a minute and i usually catch someone

[mr. leisure]

Make the trivia questions easier if you have to roll them over 5x in the casino

Mods look at the points transfers between Rudy and aca. And keep the 2 points you were going to give me for turning them in.

[Joe Dogs]

So all points won on trivia have to be rolled over in the casino.

So will points be automatically transferred to a separate account in the casino for rollover?
