Default THERE ARE ONLY 265 "PROS" so far

We are 10 days into this and only 265 Pros so far. Wow there must be 5000 posters on this board, so what is it, about 5% are PROS ?

Pretty much every gambler on the board claimed to be a big shot, and it turns out probably 75% of the board doesnt even really gamble with real dollars.

This expirement may not be a good thing, may prove the books' suspicions that most people on the gambling boards are not really gamblers, just pretenders.

Wow, the requirement is $200. Any real gambler would have already had $200 in and been a PRO by now.

I am going to deposit $200 in BM to get the 100 point bonus. Just need to send them some paperwork so I can use my VC to deposit. I have money in 5 Dimes and Intertops already. Trying to accumulate some SBR points for Poker when it happens.

This sure has created alot of controversy.

I will be depositing some here real soon, but never have been huge on these fukin books. I'll stick playing 80% with my guy.

I like to keep the economy flowing like everyone else, but the economy in my neighborhood is more important than in Costa fukin Rica

I would say 60% of posters here cannot afford $200 and not making fun of them at all

Its just the way it is, hope to see them as a pro down the road

Pretty happy with over 300 in the 2nd week of preseason football. The Pro's are getting double points right now and the non Pros are not and everyone is happy as far as I can tell.

i got about 5 bills in the account i just deposited in. SBR can look at that account all they want, they don't know about the main books i play at. SBR John you're are going to sink this site in the next few year as your greed escalates.

I hope not. Actually it was greedy competitors that did not reinvest in their websites that gave SBR the chance to reach the level it has. Look at our competitors who continue to stand pat while we out innovated them and out worked them too. For us its fun... so I reckon we will keep it going.
