It is not just game reports that you get out of premium membership. You get a lot of training material.

A gold membership is less than a burger in a month. Do you think that's really expensive?

Look at it this way, $29.00/365= less than 0.08 per day. Not too bad eh?

This website is not expensive at all. For a few bucks a month they provide everything you need.

$100 for a year, dude. That's less than 33 cents per day.
