would be interesting to see what happens here.

This comment takes the biscuit so far though:

Students and indeed University poker societies were targeted by blonde/myself at one point in time ... however when we got to costing the project it quickly became clear that it was not financially viable to proceed.

What a lot of people seem to not understand is that we were a very small fish in a massive massive pond, our marketing budget had to be funded from income generated, we did not ever have a ot of money that we were able to dip into for marketing spend.

A hefty chunk of blonde money was spent on a venture in Ireland

[ ] That was money well spent and a massive success.

Also have you considering targeting students? Maybe do some student freerolls. Students have alot of disposable income so its probs a good market to go down.



the idea of freerolls is to get winning players a few dollars so they can win more and while winning give you a share of the rake
blonde were getting fined because the players were too good we dont need more

now if we could GTD that the students were losers then what the point of giving them free money for them to lose before they pay it back in rake
unless we can GTD they will deposit afterwards which is more than likely not going to happen as the ipoker software sucks
Yeah.  They use the student loan money to go on the tear and play poker.  At least over here they do.  

True but's that's usually done and dusted by Xmas.

Not all students are winning players.
In business nothing is GTD. I think you are thinking abit negativly.
Pretty sure that alot of students will redeposit when they get there other loan installments.

in the old vc days there free rolls was getting about 180 players doubt all of them are winning

The problem is net wins vs net losses. 1000 losing players who lose less than what one single full time pro wins means you are still a winning cardroom and therefore subject to fines.

Obv a mega long thread now but below is another reason to be glad to be shut of iPoker

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/news-views-gossip/my-160-000-win-ipoker-still-owe-why-ill-never-play-there-again-tl-dr-700172/

Cliff notes - someone from UK (a badbeat trader) wins 6 fort nox jackpot sngs in a row and iPoker don't pay out the $160k jackpot, accuse him of collussion because there are more UK players than usual, another badbeat trader is at one of the tables and someone stacks off with ace hi to him (I know, that never happens in sngs). He puts together a pretty solid case against them, shows his HH in the thread etc.
