Just to clarify Player Points are calculated as follows :-


Player Points are earned by all players simply by playing real-money cash games and tournaments.

   * Cash games: receive 3.25 Player Points for every dollar contributed in rake
   * Tournaments: receive 5 Player Points for every dollar contributed in fees

In cash games Player Points are awarded based upon the rake contributed to each pot. 3.25 Player Points are awarded for every dollar contributed in rake. For example, if a player contributes 0.4 dollars in rake, he will be awarded 1.3 Player Points (0.4 x 3.25 = 1.3).

In tournaments Player Points are awarded based upon tournament fees. For every dollar taken in fees, five Player Points are awarded. For example, by participating in a $5 + 0.50 tournament, that player would receive 2.5 Player Points (0.50 x 5 = 2.5).

You have to play a good many hands to get to 50 points.
But at least I managed to win $140. ;D
Nothing is ever as easy as it sounds! ::)
The harder I work,
The luckier I get.

51.25 points earned for the day, can"t believe I overcooked it by 1.25.   ;)


Oh, and managed to bink a $500+$25 GSOP seat into the bargain.


Roll on tomorrow.  :D :D :D

I"m trying for one of those now!!
Have you got your "ticket" yet?
Or do we have to do something else??
As is, I can"t enter yet!!
The harder I work,
The luckier I get.

Ten days into this promotion, and I"ve managed to rake enough points each day so far.

Will have to take a break for a few days, unless I can get a chance to get online in Dublin to play.

Stats so far

Tournaments Played - 98
Tournaments Cashed - 16 (16%)

Profit - $1,335.40 (Although $725 of that is tied up in tournament seats)


Varying the games I"m playing, if I have time, I"ll play the GSOP, some days, I"ve just rattled through 5/6 Turbo Sit n Go"s to make sure I get the player points I need to get a ticket.

Not sure how they are issuing the tickets, I"ve got 2 that have appeared so far in my Players Club screen.

This promotion has been pretty good to me.

I"ve managed to make a profit whilst earning the tickets, cleared a load of promotional bonuses, and played some higher buyin tourneys.

As for the freerollls themselves, well, so far I"ve played 5 of the 8, and the prizelist is

2 x $33 tourney tickets
1 x $200 tourney ticket
1 x $2500 Football Weekend Package

Football Weekend Package ($2,500): Player"s choice - Tell us where you wish to go, and which team you would like to see and we will arrange it for you within the stated prize value. If Betfair Poker for any reason whatsoever are unable to get tickets for the chosen football game the winning player has to choose a different game to which tickets are available. Betfair Poker will do their best to secure tickets to the winning player"s first choice. The package can be exchanged for a cash prize of $1500 (60% of prize value).

Anyone got any suggestions ?    Pick a match, or take the cash ?

You can always win $1500, but u might not be able to go to the game you wished for so easily.

One off experiance, so go for it.
