We have a live event in Glasgow in 10 days time and we have put 10 seats aside for the Betfair Forum. Anyone wishing to come should put their Betfair Poker alias (screen name) in the thread below and at midday on Friday will make a random draw to pick the 10 winners. All players can bring one guest who will not be able to play in the freeroll but can take advantage of the free bar, food and any side games and SNGs.
Reactive, you have done our nation proud - flying across the Irish Sea in pursuit of a free bar.
Well my intention was to go even further than that; Drive over on boat, make full use of the free bar, then drive back to Stranraer to wait on the next boat home. Probably better that i'm not going actually

John I've seen a few on the tables TBH. Betfair can't really win when they announce these draws as there's always some unhappy punters.
Wish I'd have put my name forward now as the game has a bit of value (unlike the last game in London.) Would be worth the trip across the Irish Sea.

Work On It, as a Glaswegian would you like to be my "special friend" for the evening and come along? No strings attached, I promise

Thanks for that, I won my opportunity via the 5 seats up for grabs on the APAT site, have also checked with the casino today and they definitely can confirm that the event is taking place.
Will look forward to meeting you all on Saturday.

By: SelkirkAgain When: 12 Nov 10 22:08 For £50 someone can have my place.
Ahh i wonder when those who put their names down would start dropping out
Somone should run a book on how many of the 15 who were given the nod to go to this, don't actually bother turning up...

Seem to remember him telling me to do one when I was questioning the random nature of the draws before
And now he wants to sell his place for £50, says it all really.

Thankyou betfair for a great well run event.Out in 24th when all in with 22's (short stacked)and called with k9 and of course k hits on river!!Enjoyed the deal or no deal game and of course the free bar, food and venue were excellent.

Had a cracking time, went out in 19th. The deal or no deal game during the breaks was a great bit of fun, even though I called out an amount that wasn't on the board (took advantage of the free bar!!!)
Was great to meet up and make some new friends, especially Nick (I have to leave at 430pm) Betfair Bounty man,

Nice to see betfair keep a few people happy - I'm sure they run great events.
What about the masses who don't get the invites? who aren't so lucky in the random draws?
Any news for them Betfair?

DaVinci - please try and be more positive for those that did attend in Glasgow. There was no conspiracy...the world isn't out to get you...the draw was random.....Betfair loves all its forumites equally!

When are you gonna come over to the Emerald Isle and treat us paddy's?
Wish I'd have put my name down now for this promotion as Reactive showed it wasn't hard to get to and the tournament itself had a bit of value.

I feel quite special knowing you have ignored all of the other threads on which people are having issues and have questions for you, to answer me on here
I'm sure you have sorted them all out privately though.
Good Luck.

As others have said it was an excellent day out and really well organised, so thank you betfair. As for the jokes who think they're entitled to a seat because they post on the forum occasionaly try actually playing on the site and you might get invited in the future.

theres a thread entitled big apple event which pretty much sums things up from our perspective. bf tourney manager promised us a post clarifying issues raised which we never got. 3 of the main gripes :
1) the promotional advert for the event clearly states in bold print :
Please note that direct buy-ins are not permitted for this tournament, only player point qualification is accepted.
why once us mugs had gathered 1000 points were the terms and conditions changed and buy-ins allowed ? why were those who had bought in then given free entry and then anyone who asked also put in free ?
2) why were direct buy ins ( who by your own rules shouldnt have even been in the event ) and satelitte qualifiers offered " apology compensation" and the 1000 point qualifiers not ? surely we got the worst of the deal ? we too had to register then re-register, and having played 2k worth of stts to get to the mtt, find our chances greatly diminished by non-eligible players swelling the field. ( there were 130 registered at 3 p.m. which suddenly rose to 285 by 6 p.m.)
3) why say originally registered entrants had been sent an email advising them to re-register, when that clearly wasn't the case ?

I'm assuming that was aimed at me Soft-Touch so if you don't mind I'll respond
Didn't want or ask for a seat to this event and indeed won't in the future either even if it is in my Living Room.
Maybe if you read this or other threads on the Forum you may get the point
BTW Betfair I was going to enter the Tourney for the trip to Malta, but couldn't be bothered in the end - Any chance of a free ticket - I'm sure we'd all have a ball if we met up? and it wouldn't upset too many people I am sure.
I'm raking a fortune on FTP so it may be worth your while

Whats that supposed to mean?? Who are the 'jokes' that you are talking about? I probably play more poker on Betfair than most of the people at that event, including you. In fact, 150 MTTs played since Friday to earn a 'Weekend Fun Bonus' that was promoted, but it appears someone has ballsed up the promotion as the bonus codes were invalid, so got nothing except a wasted weekend.
So, i ask you again, who are the jokes?
a) You, for not having clue what you are on about in this topic, and should be keeping your sticky beak opinions to yourself. b) Me (and the rest of the regular players here), for trusting my custom with Betfair. c) Betfair, for repeatedly failing to provide a good reliable service in pretty much every aspect. In particular the promotions, which each time have a problem of some description. d) All of the above.

if betfair looked at stats for the last 1000 days they would find that ive have played stts or mtts on about 970 of them.
i believe there are very, very, few players played more days than that.i very much doubt soft touch would be one of them.
i've never been invited to one of these events, never asked to be, and probably never will be. dont play high enough stakes, and to be honest it isnt something that bothers me.
as i've said elsewhere. i'm one of the bread and butter regs, the ones that play recreationally for a few hours day in and day out. the ones that keep the whole thing going.
all i ask for is reliable software, decent customer service, and the odd online promotion i can have a stab at.
imho, keeping a few dozen v.i.p. customers happy with the odd free bar, isn't a whole lot of good when you treat the other 99.9% of your customers like shyte.

We know the draw was random, but what most forumites did not like was that of fifteen tickets, NINE were given to people who had posted LESS THAN TEN TIMES ON ANY BETFAIR FORUM , INCLUDING FOUR WHO HAD JOINED THAT DAY!!!
You say these promotions are for forumites but all too often they are given to people who have just joined to enter the promotion. This has happened on several occassions. There should be a qualifying number of posts on betfair forums for entry to these promotions, say 1000, that would increase the amount of posts on here and make it a livilier forum.

its hard to be too critical of something given away for free, but as i said at the time , if these seats were set aside for the forum, then they should have gone to people who actually contribute to the forum and/or participate regularly in forum games such as the wednesday night event or the various sunday night events run by apat or the klup.
not sure how you would do that, but perhaps only making the offer available to those registered on the forum for at least 6 months, or with a history of regularly contributing ?
as it is seats could have gone to people who have never even played on bf.
hopefully one of the regs took it down tho, and good to see the forumites that did go enjoyed it.
