Worth a punt ?

[Blatch]

yes, its the first six you enter, despite what order they finish in.

Normally start every couple of mins

[relaedgc]

I doubt I could handle 6 at once.

[Colchester Kev]

You dont have to handle 6 at once, you could play one a day if you wanted to.

By my calcs you'd just need a 1st% of ~18.5% to make the $1 jackpot rake a profitable bet.

As I would expect most good players 1st % to exceed 20%, this isn't a bad punt assuming the $25k package is something you want (ie, if it's worth $25k to you personally).

[thetank]

Kev, the numbers in the OP with the prize breakdown only add up to $24,650.

Have I miscounted, is there something missing, or is the $25k figure quoted just a rounding up for simplicity?

[thetank]

You've only got to buck odds of 46,655-1 to win the package.

Easy money.

The kind of player who only averages exactly one out of six wins when playing $10 jackpot 6-person STTs on i-poker is likely to get spanked by normal rake and lose in normal games too.

A competent player gives up nowt on this $1 jackpot bet imo.

Isn't that one of the executive perks, the total value of which was listed at $2,150

[thetank]

[action man]

Playing Devil's Advocate here, but don't promotions like this encourage collusion?  And, given that, what do you think of the following scenario.  Say you play all your entries against the same group of players, be that six from a group of six or, say, six from a group of ten.  In the games themselves, you play it totally straight and do not collude in any way.  In the unlikely event of someone winning six in a row, would they receive the jackpot?

You would NOT get paid out under this scenario ... there is a lengthy T&C list to accompany this promo, I will post it shortly.

Kev, if you play a $50+$9 jackpot game, do you get XX% of $9 worth of loyalty bonus?

Where XX% = 30% or whatever
