GPS Edinburgh package SOLD OUT

[TightEnd]

An aside

what is the point of winning the bounty seat if GPS are going to take 50% of any result?

All you get in exchange is to be interviewed by Marty, have a photograph and wear a polo shirt?

Seems a lot less valuable than just winning a normal satellite seat and keeping 100%?

Bit of a flip-flop here.

It transpires that I never paid for the Stake, as OP said "send it nearer the time".

When I send money for Staking, I ALWAYS Post accordingly on thread, & usually send a copy of the Payment Confirmation to the seller. I did neither here, so it looks like I never paid anyway. Potential grim thwarted.

Job done, good luck Mr Jock, next case.

I agree. It wasn't until after I won the seat and saw the T's and C's that I went shit!

Not gonna lie I'm running pretty bad in sats on genting. I am 0/10 with two direct bubbles, Which is almost as much as a seat in itself so I decided to cut my losses and sell a % and buyin for the rest. Saw such a small field while grinding on Sunday played it and won that bounty. I bust him twice fwiw first one he rebought though

Would have still gone ahead with the arrangement had I won the seat I was actually playing for.

I didnt want to curb your enthusiasm but I thought exactly the same

Sounds like a bad deal to me...surely you have won a seat or you havent.......Half a seat sucks , though not uncommon to be "hidden" clauses in i poker /genting small print

These bounty satellites (£20 entry/£10 rebuy)  have a GTD £430 seat with a min of just 5 runners. The bounty seat is  "free extra value" for those that play.

You can/could transfer it to someone else if you want.

You can use it at any other leg ; ie the online leg.

Not only that, there are some very easy bounties coming up.

He knocked joe out twice? So does the seat only go to the person who knocks him out after the re entry period then.

Just noticed a lot of peeps on actionjacks site are changing their usernames today. What's that all about

1) Yes 2) No idea

So why isn't Suited Jock continuing with the stake and using the bounty seat in another event?

Perhaps because he would not wish to travel to other events - this one is local to him, I assume.

This and a grand total of 0 days annual leave left.

Just thinking out loud...with the GPS there is an obvious advantage if you have the back up of a re buy in your game plan, especially as most players won't rebuy.

Maybe you could use the staking seat as the rebuy if you need it.....then there's the added sweat of will he /wont he  


Good luck anyway Suited.....see you on the Friday.

Good Post...this just shows how ambiguous  and mis leading their spam e mail was. A couple more people have since contacted me and told me they had won a seat too but were unaware of the 50% clause

The following line is pretty bad especially if you have to travel all the way to Edinburgh.

"A couple more people"??....there has only been two "bounty sats" so far....one of which was won by Suited Jock.

"travel all the way to Edinburgh".... as I said before you can use this £430 token for any leg including the online leg in your front room. , or even transfer it.

With a sponsored seat, there are obviously going to be some t&c to it, and all the "spam" I've seen, has these attached or linked.

At the end of the day, its  added value when playing in a satellite for at least one GTD "normal" seat.
