    Lets Straighten out the "Non-Pro Issue"...

    If you are NOT a PRO, you fall under one of the following...

    1.) Not a gambler, just here because you are depressed...

    2.) Are a wannabe Tout that is air-betting in hopes to build a following...

    3.) Using a local and most likely betting into bad numbers and in debt...

    4.) Have a serious gambling problem and can't have any papertrails that connect you and gambling...

    5.) Are a pussy-whipped fruitcake that is afraid your chick/wife will find out...

    These are the ONLY reasons one would not be a PRO...

    It's not a big deal if you are a NON-PRO, we don't care...

    But Please, stop with the excuses, and stop blaming PRO's for the problems in your life...

    That is no longer an excuse since SBR started accepting charitable donations for Pro status. There is no longer any excuse other than being a broke fukk.

    Wrong....I bet through a local, I send in my line with my bet and what site I got it from (Bodog, 5dimes, pinny, etc)

    Not in debt either.

    No reason to go pro at the moment.

    easy to get good numbers with local

    how does being PRO lead the wife to anything

    Who cares, PRO is useless. "Random trivia" = twice in 3 weeks. BTP cash if top 10 out of 1000s of contestants. 6 more points a day you cant buy cash with anymore.

    To think PRO validates posters or nullifies air betting is dumb. To think someone isn't PRO because they dont have $200 and are frauds is dumb.

    If you just login everyday you get enough points for $200 a year in gift cards to Target or Walmart or wherever. How is this any different than sportsbook cash or free plays? Being a pro costs......nothing.

    +1.....actually don't care at all if someone is a complete air bettor.....I come here to discuss games, for entertainment, and for betting information

    The amount someone bets a game means absolutely ZERO to me.....Only matters to some insecure posters

    while true, you think the degen fukks around here are gonna give to charity? i bet the number of people who went pro through the charity link is few enough to count on 1 hand.

    you would think the so called pros would spend more time gambling and winning money than making constant threads about how all non pros are broke.

    Is it possible some are more comfortable playing through their local.....knowing 100% they'll get paid? Nothing against online books, but I just prefer the local system- paying out every 2 weeks one way or the other. His odds are fine too.....no problems there

    I may load up on 5dimes soon anyway to play some props and futures and wahh-lahhh I'm pro .......doesn't mean anything

    What do ya call us Pros who did it just for the addiction to SBR contests and Poker and to enjoy some extra doorways on the forum?

    I'll still bet more $$ through my local out of convenience and not to mention ease of liquidity and % lost from fees etc for us U.S. players.

    I'm by no means a 'big timer' or 'pro gambler' but consider it a great hobby that is good for supplemental $$. I don't see how anyone handles the stress of relying on wagers to make a living....my hat is off to those who do and still have a house and car and $$ in the bank.

    Why should I go through diffculties funding an offshore account, when I have two locals (one who uses 5d lines the other who uses greek lines) and can shop lines. In addition, I may have an opprtunity to get hooked up with a third local this week which will provide another outlet to shop prices. As far as I am concerned, if you live in the US and have access to multiple local books, there is no need to invest offshore or be an sbr pro. I don't see the big deal. Is my contribution less than someone else just because I have no need to be a sbr pro?

    At the very least...

    Put $200 on BetIslands...

    Get 100% freeplay (about $90)...

    Gives you another out (they have Raiders/Bronco's Total at 39.5, which is going to go over)...

    Get double the points which equates to about $200...

    So you can't use another $300 MINIMUM for the 10 minutes it takes to post up offshore??


    I aint buying it you fukkin ghosts!!!!

    Yeah exactly what I'm saying......My local is the man. He uses 5dimes for his spreads on games and when I want a Moneyline bet straight or in a parlay, he'll take any line from the main online books. On top of that, we meet every 2 weeks usually to clear to zero, but if I want to let my balance ride, he never has a problem with it. Very easy going dude, one I can trust with my money 100%

    LOL if being Pro is so player friendly why do people care so much?

    Maybe some people dont care about welfare or free pizzas or free anything. Ever think of that?

    It is like it is a slight on humanity not to be a pro. who gives a **** other than the same 4 or 5 guys who post the same topic every couple weeks?

    All this talk about free this or free that if anything it makes the pros look more desperate for free shit. Instead of non pros being too broke to spend 200 bux.

    If they were so concerned about this they would just stop giving non pros points altogether. Then people wouldnt have to worry about who does what with the free stuff they have.

    Hell some non pros should maybe get free pro status for all the shit they contribute to this place. That is if it really meant anything, which it doesnt.

    Being a pro and talking shit about it is like running around an old folks home and calling anyone not part of the AARP (which I think is 16 bucks a years) dumb for not taking advantage of all it can offer you.

    Well, I'll rephrase it to 'I won't be renewing SOON'. I want to renew in the future, but I've taken a break from this since March and won't be coming back until end of October, so am not depositing until then.
