So let's do some fun calculations with SBR points

If you were to log in and do one post every day it would take you...

5 days to get an SBR shot glass
11 days to get the JJ Gold Goggles
18 days to get a Pizza
112 days to get a $50 gift card (Best Buy,ebay, Amazon, etc)
558 days to get an IPOD classic
893 days to get a Playstation 3
1226 days to get a 32" tv
1556 days to get a 42" plasma tv
2454 days to get a 50" plasma tv
2902 days to get a 42" lcd tv
11022 days to get that Pro Bowl ticket and airfare

So lets say I want that 42" plasma tv...

It'll take me 4.15 years getting 7 points a day from my 1 post + sign in every day.

With my 205 points it'll take me 4.072 more years. Good grief.

dude thats not bad for a 42" tv....4 years...hahah. Or you could try and gamble to make them points come in quicker

You gotta increase your points per day average by winning point bets and point contests. I am averaging over 20 points a day since the program launched and over 50 points a day in the past two weeks. SBR is also planning several upgrades to the point system to give us more ways to make points or win points.

If you could average 30 points a day (not impossible), you could have 42" plasma TV in less than a year.

This is also assuming the point totals for these items stay exactly the same.

I'm sure the points needed for all items will increase as time goes on, just like everything else.

[Shortstop]

Regardless, I think this points program is fantastic!

either way, it's fun to try

TV is one of the worst values in the store.......avoid at all costs.

Actually I think the TV's could become cheaper over time as technology advances, allowing productivity to increase, which could cause the TV's to be produced more efficiently and less costly.

Hey look if it takes you 1556 days to get the plsama TV, that means you have crossed the 1000 posts mark. So you get 25 points and save yourself 4 days! That's not too bad right?

Plasmas suck.............think pizzas, gift cards, and jjgold goggles if you want value.

[lolbear]

Agreed, ~110 days for a 50$ gift card sounds good to me.

Right.. anybody who gets the TV is an idiot... a smarter choice is get 7 gift cards from best buy and go use them to get a TV

[DeluxeLiner]

The 42" plasma tv by Samsung costs $680 at Best Buy. So I would need 14 Best Buy cards to get one.

42" plasma tv =10609
14 Best Buy Cards = 10934 points

Buying the Best Buy Cards is the better deal, I'd have to conclude.

In 4 years a 42" plasma TV will be obsolete technology.

In 4 years SBR will be broke with all the people wanting huge prizes. This points system wont last.

I don't know....I kind of hope it does...it's fun to come in here and bet "SBR Points" on games, and points which can actually win you stuff...albeit even if it is a domino's pizza for Sunday football...either way, it is the added entertainment to your betting that makes it fun...I hope they stay, and the system is awesome really...I mean, we are all here for free! We get to shoot the crap with eachother and talk about picks, bet real money in our respective accounts, and then mess around and throw some SBR Points on a game with someone for a pizza or best buy gift card...why not?? I'm backing this system big. Well done SBR!!!

Should take 4 weeks not year I won over 800 points in just 3 days by betting posters in sbrpicks, so taking other ppls points is the way to go

[xraygord]

How do you bet points? And point contests?
