Sbr pro = Credibility

[Mikail]

A lot of guys around here still haven't made the commitment to sbr. We've heard all the excuses but we know what the real deal is. Either your a broke fuk or a ghost account. I know some of you gonna be offended by this. Bottomline? Sh*t or get off the pot! Either your interested in sbr or your not. No scratch no sniff. If you wan't to support the best internet sports gambling forum in the world pony up the 2 bills and be part of this thing of ours. Otherwise kick rocks!

I wonder what the unemployment rate is with people who arent "pro" members. Id say somewhere around 25 % +

I say higher. If someone doesn't have $200 of expendable cash to deposit they really shouldn't have no business here anyway.

How about I get my daily 7 points from your thread cry baby.

[flocko76]

It's 6 points but i agree. Fcuk this guy.

[hubie69]

I disagree. I make more cash than 99% of this forum, yes, at an actual job. As well you should know I'm not a ghost. I just havent needed to reload on my accounts since I joined SBR. The next time I reload though I'll probably do it through SBR, but my betting season ends after NCAAB, as I only bet NFL, NCAAFB, and NCAAB.

[flocko76]

oh wait its 7 points now.. great. but still. fcuk that guy.

[mighty maron]

Recycle your way to being a pro.......

[doublej95]

It is kinda sad that some of the people do not gave 200 bucks to become pro. 200 bucks is not very much money.

[flocko76]

It's kinda sad that people think they are better than other's because they are an "srb pro.

Exactly. A lot of them are also the ones who just post enough to get the points and thats it.I know lots of em only post in the "first post of the day thread" and collect their freebies while offering nothing in return. Not even a decent post. Freeloaders. It's not like they even have to pay. All they need to do is have $200 bucks in a sbr pro approved book. You'd think sbr was asking for their first born or something.

You just have to work a little bit more than most of us to get 200. Dont worry a couple of months and you can get there

[pavyracer]

I agree.

Just fyi, you dont need to reload. You can apply for PRO with your existing account(s) as long as you have atleast a $200 real cash balance, regardless of when it was actually deposited. Unless your balance(s) are all at non sponsored books.

HaHa you don't know 1% about the people on this forum, how can you toss extravagant claims like that around?
You dont have to reload your accounts through sbr, just click "go pro" and tell them your offshore book and account number. If you have 200 or more they will "pro" you. With all that money you should have hired someone to read the details for you. Just fill your pro app out they will take care of you.

[ehp6737]

Dude you come here everyday, make one meaningless post to get your measly sbr points, and trsf right to the sportsboook. You offer nothing, or even attempt to here. It's not about anyone thinking they're better than you. It's about you realizing SBR is not a soup kitchen. My understanding is, they recently made changes to the SBR store non pros basically cant buy shit in the store. So why do you even bother? You must have big dreams of taking your 6 points and hitting it big in the SBR casino.........to buy a JJ Gold t-shirt

[hubie69]

I didn't know that can't call it, I'll check into that. I didn't know you could just give them your account #.

I guess you're right, I shouldn't assume. My bad on that

[Stocks]

Whats the point of becomming a pro?

Seriously I have no idea what becomming a pro does or even all these points I see people fighting over for that matter.

[hunterwrot]

This thread is a joke. I dont think it means your broke if your not pro. Some people dont see a reason to become pro. If its offered for free then roll with it. Im happy enough getting on here to see the handicapper plays and be done with it. Get of your high horse you degenerate gambler.

[Mikail]

FYI I just wan't to clarify that I do not think I am better than someone because I'm an sbr pro and they aren't. My point is that those who don't fill out the become an sbr pro application are not helping at all. Sbr provides it's members with many benefits free of charge. All that is required is for members to provide proof that they are players at sbr approved sponsor books. Those that collect points, enter contests etc. but refrain from becoming an sbr pro are taking away from those of us who do play at sbr books. No more free lunch!

[Wiggums5]

i'm a poor college student, is that a good enough excuse for you? otherwise i would be a pro

[loudpacmanjones]

Just sent my pro application yesterday. Just waiting to get verified.

[Mikail]

Wiggums5 you don't need to explain yourself to me. I am gonna keep on doing my thing regardless you become and sbr pro or you don't. Just understand that you are not entitled to the same benefits that sbr alots to the sbr pros. For good reason.

[Wiggums5]

I understand that, even as a non pro I think the benefits the pros are getting are appropriate.

Wow, when this place first started it was all free! Like the MILLIONS of other forums out there. There are tons of other forums that are just as informative in their own aspect that are totally free. The members make or break a site pro or not. Yeah, whomever created had to pay site fees but they opened this place to CASH in. All the ADs pay for most of the site even without you guys becoming PROs. Becoming a Pro is just a referral system for extra cash. 1000 members + 50$ a member = $50,000 + Ad money! (not accurate just an example) Everything in the store is their way of showing appreciation without just handing it out for free you still have to earn it. Also its a marketing ploy to keep you coming back to keep the traffic moving! Everyone still has to log in and do the same thing everyday whether you're a pro or non pro you still have to accumulate points whether you use it or not! In the end they don't care if you win or lose as long as they are making money. It's a business!

Side Note: ACTUALLY there is a NON-PRO on here who's MADE HUGE contributions to SBR. SweetJones55!

How many "PROS" are actually on this forum? I bet if you took away all the ghost accounts and all of the non pro members this place wouldn't be able to generate anything near what it is now. No money and traffic for the site = your 200$ didn't really mean shit. And as for a PRO member to make a comment about non pro members. This is just a big way to turn people away from this site and not to become pro. HOW does that HELP the FORUM? That's very oxymoron if you ask me.

So lets take a look at the big picture here! The OP made another useless thread.... thanks for your contribution.

how are we taking away from you? are we beating you at your own game? tired of losing to non-pros?

Your right. This topic came up before. If it was just pros on this site they wouldn't have the money they have now. Everyone going pro is the best thing for the site money wise but guest and non pros are needed to keep the traffic up.

I think from business standpoint that SBR made a great move. The only thing of value that we can buy now is cash for new book sign ups. So its a great off for people but it will run out. If there is four books a non pro does not use then thats four they can buy then thats it. At that point you can buy a shirt or something. But people can still grow their points bankroll. For some they will never sign up for different reasons but others will end up winning enough points that they just can avoid signing up. Its a great move for SBR.

Ya SBR don't make shit from people becomming pros as they do from the rest of the site. This sites makes millions how much of that do you think comes from people becomming pros.

Its a great business plan sbr got the sportsbooks pay sbr like $150-$200 or more CPA for every normal player they send to a book. Then if your a pro you pay sbr $200 you get a bigger bonus or whatever it is and in exchnage for send the books an sbr pro player they might only get a $100 CPA from the books.

Either way its a good business idea from SBR and if paying $200 to beome a pro makes the player more then the $200 then its also great for the players.

As for the other part if you ever tried to run a forum then you know you need all the posters you can get if you took away all the non pro posters this forum would be dead within a couple weeks.

So lets take a look at the big picture here! The OP made another useless thread.... thanks for your contribution.

This is a very good post. Most, if not all, of what you said is true. SBR, like every other website (except those used for commerce such as banks, online stores, ebay, etc) generate 99% of their revenue from advertising. So the more traffic they generate, the more they can command in advertising revenue, so on and so forth. So awarding points to users so they can make purchases is a great way to generate more web traffic, hence raising revenue. With that said, SBR has made a tactical business decision to offer the PRO program, now denying members who are unwilling to go PRO those same benefits they once had (mainly store purchases, participating in certian contests, etc), and they knew it was at the risk of losing a percentage of members who didnt want to conform. Everyone has an opinion in this matter, neither which is necessarily right or wrong, but ultimately it was a decision by SBR to which they think will help grow their business long term. Now to compensate for this and reward the members who elected to go PRO they have since raised daily points to 13, trivia oppportunities offering up to 250 points per week, yearly anniversary rewards, daily/weekly poker with unbelievable prizes, etc, etc. They have definitely done their part in enticing people to go PRO. I think the writing is on the wall for those who are non-PRO and are no longer reaping the benefits. But again, it's not right or wrong, it's business. Now people have stated many reasons why the refuse to, or simply cant go PRO. Let me address the main two. 1) "I bet with a local or non sponsored book". These are perfectly understandable. My response to that is you only have to deposit $200 ONCE A YEAR. People act like they have to make a $200 purchase or as if they have to lose $200. It's a DEPOSIT, not a purchase or donation. Wager on one game and w/d your $200 + PROFITS if that suits you better. I personally dont believe it's asking too much to deposit once a year. If you believe it is, that is your right. And just like with any other company, if you are unhappy you have the right to take your "business" elsewhere. Based on SBR's actions I think they're OK with it. 2) "I cant afford it". For example, there was a poster in this thread who said he was a college student and couldnt afford to deposit. Again, totally understandable situation. But let me say this. If I dont fish and I dont own a fishing pole, do you think I'd waste time posting in a fishing forum? So if you cant afford to gamble why are you a member of a gambling forum? And as I stated earlier, SBR gets the majority of their revenue from advertisers (so in this case sportsbooks). So if you dont have money to gamble, hence your not using their sponsors, then the sponsors and SBR would rightfully tell you to go pound sand. To me it's like stealing cable from your neighbor and then complaining because you don't get Comedy Central. Elevated, you gave the examples of how there are posters who contribute and drive traffic that our not PROs. But if the people who are driving traffic dont use the sponsors and are getting new members who dont use the sponsors, then why the heck would the sponsors pay to advertise to a bunch of people who dont use their services? How else does SBR sell advertising unless they can show people actually use the product/service? The compensation they may or may not receive as a "referral" from books when people go PRO is peanuts to the advertising dollar.

Some people bet with a local so I dont necessarily agree with this.
