It's not rocket science. SBR is viable because of their sponsers, so if you dont use their sponsers (only have to one time) you'll get nothing and like it, except for the entertainment value and knowledge that can be gained from the forums. SBR is a business not a soup kitchen. Points and the merchandise/cash you get from those points are a luxury, not a right. I'm suprised non-pro's have had the benefits they had for this long. Why do so many non-pros expect free stuff? When was the last time someone went to espn.com or tmz.com and they just gave you a free pizza or an Ipod touch? Umm....never. So why are you entitled to it here? And the funniest thing is people act like they have to donate $200 or something.......it's just a deposit, not a purchase. Win a game or two and get your money back plus profits and then stuff your face with all the free SBR pizza you can
