Anyone got any idea how the Crimbo STT Leader board thats running for next few days is worked out?

See the 1st Xmas promo thread mate. It's all a bit farcical.

Hi

if you goon bwin website the formula is there --

So that would make it 48 points for winning a 30 man £10 and 24 points for a $5 30 man.

Is this correct or have I misunderstood it?

get less than that lawslaw -- around 15 points I think --

get less than that lawslaw -- around 15 points I think --

think your totals are mils out.

the leader has been multi tabling for over 12 hrs and has only 600 pts.

ive done  5 hrs.am 50dollars up after cake  and have only 280 pts.

4.8 pts for winniga 10dollar 30 mani think.

Wait till they try and run an MTT leaderboard.

I've played about 50 games at $5 and $10, I'm winning, and I barely make the top 200.

Back to the old $22 games for me, where , as ever, the standard dazzles and excites from the very first hand...

I see the uber grinders like dr klenk and sexysandy are applying the after burners. Ongame must  be laughing all the way to the bank.
Ended the day 80 quid in front,have stuck it on San Diego half time-full time tonight at 6/4, with the winnings to go on Charlton to win League One at 5/4. I have a terrible work ethic.

haha, good luck there chip. do what I did, £1 spin in the arcade on catchphrase returned £60 cheers roy walker. say what you see!

Even though I wont get paid out on Charlton till May, I still reckon I will have my IPAD before gnasher.

Chargers with a late charge for the half-time win. Now laying a bit on them for the green sc

*green up. Easy game this sports betting lark

p.s i've won 2 ipads so far this year from betfair , number 3 iminent

Yes, makes sense to trade out at 1.19, even though chargers get the ball first in second half. Means I can get off to bed .

nice win

Rather than wait for Charlton I've whacked the £191 on Fiendish Flame at 3.2 in the 3 o clock at Leicester. Only front runner in the field, and I will be laying off at halfway when its 10 clear down the back straight.

crazy, but good luck

iPad if you win? they are great

No ipad- back to the drawing board- hate horse racing. J P Mcmanus has 2 in the race, the 2nd favourite and a 40-1 shot. The 40-1 shot which has never made the running in its life pesters mine up front for a mile, scuppering mine and Mcmanuses other one wins.

Will stick to poker from now on- didn't want an ipad anyway.

I was on Wren for a small price

Chip/gnasher, How damaging has this promo been to your roll before you take into account promo prizes.  Will rake cover any losses assuming there is any :-)

I only went for it the first 3 hours from midnight thru to 3 am. Didn't register any points despite winning 5 x 10 seater stts, and cashing in 2 x 30 mans in the first 2 hours, so knocked it on the head.

Monday I was up $148, yesterday I lost $101, today I'm down $18, but I haven't been playing that much, certainly not any more than normal. That's just by Betfair usage btw, doesnt include figures from 888where Iplay of an evening. It was obvious by lunchtime of the first day my computer wouldn't be able to handle the number of tables required to be even remotely competitive.

hi,playedalmsot 1000games, which is at least 200/300 more than ithought it would take.

lost 200  monday, almost broke even tuesday

today i played  over 13 hours in 3 shifts , won 250 dollars on mainly 10 dollar turbos , and almost every1 else in the top25 scored more pts than me.

was it worth it for the £400 iPad, financially/mentally/timewise ?

or next time would you say, just go out and buy an iPad

i knew the promo was networkwide,but i thought it would b easier than it was.
financially,i done best part of 30hrs to get a 400/500quid  ipad and cake of a similar amount. the bf points will come in handy as well since ive lost over 100k in betfair points since summer wheni gave up playing the leaderboards.

stresswise, mayb it wasn't worth the effort, and i'd forgotten how hard grinding was[ive not played seriously online since july]

id love to know where all these players came from, only 2players in top50 are betfair players. and bar 3or4 alais i didnt recoignse many.

I  reckon Ongame are kicking themselves they didn't run 2 of these in the Christmas calendar, traffic was mental last night.

Not sure Betfair will be quite as happy as BWIN were with the increased traffic, like gnasher says hardly any BF players bothered with it.

You look like getting a decent payout on the weekly BF board too gnash, probably win it if you play today.
