interesting............that explains why the broadway only paid top 5 in one of their comps.
Actually annoyed the hell out of me as i just scraped into the final to THEN discover i had to get in the top 5!! needless to say i didn't Angry

If you go Nottm Gala they have different pay-out structures depending on comp, The 10 pound re-buy game has first prize of 30% where other comps are 40%, nightfly has done a study into this and discovered that although 40% is advetised for winner they only takes home (or drop in casino) about 30% because of deals or chip counts.This suggests a flatter structure is required for all comps

The poll speaks for itself.

Many structures are 40 percent to the winner.

The people of blonde have spoken and it is clear we, the players, see this as too much.

Why not try a trial run?

nope aberdeen has always had over £1k for 30-44 runners when i have been there and only ever pay top 3

as long as the payout structure is advertised in advance then the casino's can pay out how they like (as long as they pay out a total off 100% of the money)[/font]

Well you be surprised to know we tried that and the players still want to do the deal to change the adverised structure. I understand that it's not really the casino's money but what is the point of having a prize structure if every week the players ask to change it to suit the situation. You simply can't please everybody all of the time. What would happen if a was struck deal on one structure one week when there was only 5 players and the week after, the structure was changed to suit 7 players. If that was me, I'd be piissed off. Casino prize structures are the to ensure conformity.

If  most of the players could agree on a single or a range of prize structures to suit most comps (even the low stake games) it would make my job alot easier.

Take a look at the polls. The majority favour 30% for 1st.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo.

We have just finiished a three month tirade arguing against 40% going to the winner!

30%, give or take a few %, is what is needed to discourage deals. History, & public opinion, has proven that.

As long as people keep voting, I'm sure we'll see dik give the 30 % a fair crack.

Have faith.  Wink

lol  thats why i said depending on the size of tourney/pay out

just that in a £10 rebuy i think 40% is fine,  but a £250 then 30%  needs to be adjusted using common sense
