Think something might be delaying the leaderboards. Something called Christmas.
Report Poptobe December 27, 2010 11:49 AM GMT
ffs. Xmas! With modern technology they should be automatically updated not every 24 hours or 4 days at Xmas lol

Yes, as we're on the penultimate day of the promotion it would be nice to know where we stand [>o]

Agreed, its a poor show. Don't think you need to bust a gut though gnasher, can't see anyone catching you.

Of course, be silly to take any chances until you see an update. I think I'm gonna have to grind to the finish to hit my hoped for position of 4th.

Gnasher/WingDing. If its not too personal how many hours do you play to get a nosebleed at the top of the leaderboards and do you play multi? Will your strategy have to change when the new rules come into play? I appreciate you may not wish to give away trade secrets but I am s small time player and no-one else is listening Silly

I eventually weighed in with $75. The golden boys are still waiting for a final update I see. Should be within the next week or so [;)]

i got $100 out of it by hammering the $1 and $3 turbo 30 mans.glad its over and doubt will bother again tbh.

i noticed for next months sit and go leaderboards that they have a "fish and chips" promotion attached to it. however the prizes look the same as this month.are there any extra incentives like satelitte tickets to betfair poker london? seems odd to do a fish and chips sit and go leaderboard promotion and not offer any fish and chips.

Think they throw in a pastie supper for the top 10 finishers.Confused

whatnew rules? they appear same a slast time 2 me, just  afancy new name.
Report bingobarry December 30, 2010 12:24 AM GMT
why would they call it  "fish and chips" sit and go leaderboard if they are not going to chuck a few freebies in to betfair london?

might as well call it "curry and rice" leaderboard

or "ham egg and chips" leaderboard

It's just serious grinding m8 and frankly, this month at least, it hasn't been worth it. I've run like Stephen Hawking all month and have to question my sanity at putting up to 18 hours per day at the tables.

Gnasher seems to have a good system sorted where he plays more tables for less hours. He must be playing 12 at a time min to score the daily totals he does. I don't have the set up to do that and even if I did I don't think I could, as the concentration needed is more than my distinctly middle aged brain can manage.

May go back to multis next month, which I have always preferred anyway, but I'll see how I feel after a wee break.

GL at the tables.
Report gnashersblackpool December 30, 2010 5:26 PM GMT
usually play 10 at once for a few hrs at a time. then a short break[short walk to shop,toilet and make a brew or something to eat] then start again.

if i tr ymore games it crashs computer, or game scome up totally black so unable to play it without a reboot, which obv is costly mssing hands in othe ropen games.
Report Poptobe December 30, 2010 6:53 PM GMT
Gnasher/Wingding you have certainly earned your corn. I figure I haven't done bad just playing one table at a time lol. I haven't even worked out how two open two tables side by side without screens popping all over the place Laugh

I thought I saw a post suggesting they were going to base the leaderboards on ROI + bonuses for number of games played from Jan. However. fish n chips looks the same old same old to me.
Report gypsyl0ve December 30, 2010 6:59 PM GMT
Poptube, if you have multiple tables open and you click the icon which looks like 4 tiny squares (top right hand corner of the table), then the tables will re-size themselves to suit your screen.

HTH

That was posted by a user called 'vivipp'. He was later diagnosed as mentally ill, with schizophrenic tendencies. He is currently being treated in the Betfair dungeons, before he will be allowed loose on the forum again.

Thanks for the tip about multi tables gypsy. Sounds like vivipp has all the competences required to be employed by betfair let alone be treated by them.
Report gypsyl0ve December 30, 2010 8:15 PM GMT
Funny you should mention that about vivipp, as there was a few forum members here actually thought that vivipp was a Betfair employee! Laugh
