To secure a freeroll ticket, players need to accumulate a minimum of 50 Player Points on any cash game table AND play at least 1 Sit & Go of their choice.

Ive asked for clarification, but the way I read that you would have to generate your 50 PLAYER points- not poker points- at the one table in one session. Does that seem a reasonable interpretation ?

normally u would think its 50 total of any cash games,but i wouldn't  be shocked if u were right.

50pts would take a good  couple of hrs at 1 table.

Depends what stakes you are playing but I play 25/50 so probably will take forever to do it  at one table, especially if you get to say 40 points and everyone gets up and leaves. Laugh

I have given up on some of this promotion. I think I'm clear that I have exceeded all of the criteria and yet no tickets on cash accumulations.
I think it may be because I'm on rakeback per old betfair.

Happy

Did not even try for Sit N Go one as knew would not be around. And pretty miffed by no tickets.

No idea what it may do to my rakeback. May be good but with essence who knows?

Pretty fun sitting on a tight 9 handed table and then see some maniac stack off 100BB+ all in pre-flop with J3 suited.Laugh

Tonights is a nightmare- 5k added mtt with 3000 runners-been playing nearly 5 hours and still 50 runners. I'm falling asleep at the wheel. Sad

Nice to see a big field but takes a while. Not that I have been playing. Really busy.
Hope it will be worth it but sometimes reckon better off with the 1900/1920 Rebuys 1800 if early enough but if so 1830 SH deepstack. And 2015 $22 tourneys.

Added value is great on $5. Without it though still around 12-1300 runners on a S5.50 MTT.

Good luck. Hopefully a FT but as usual top 3 is where money is.

Hopefully will see the result in the lobby tomorrow. or post from you in the early hours on here.Laugh which I'll see tomorrow.

Finished 37th. $62 for 5 hours, lol. Was in the top ten most of the last couple of hours, but ran ak into 100, and then same hand into jj, lost both, that's the way it goes.

As I said on the other thread 5k added to pool, but with 3000 runners they clawed back 1.5 k in rake.

The STT leaderboard promo they may have even made a profit from the rake given the volumes that were played. gnasher reckons played over 1000 games and didnt even make the top 10.

I can confirm that the 50 points required in this promotion can be earned at more than 1 table

I have also noticed a few discrepancies in the advertising for some of the upcoming Christmas Calendar promotions.

12th December - GSOP Salzburg qualifier. BF's rules schedule on the promo home page states that the buy in is $10, however the progress page states the buy in is $5.

13th December - Sit and Go Madness. BF's rules and schedule say that 100 points need to be earned playing STT's however the progress page states that 10 STT's need to be played.

23rd December - Santa's Special. The progress page shows that both 4 and 10 coffee makers have been added to the prize pool in the header.

NickFlick - I am still on the old rake deal and have qualified for a couple of these promos

Perhaps I've not scored enough points.
Will play anyway and hope.

Ive spent the last hour playing cash, lost about £50, and once again the bar hasnt even budged when I go into todays date on the calendar. Looking at my betfair points statement I reckon I have generated about 18 player points. Shocked

Fk that for a game of soldiers. Would take me all night and I could just buy a games console with the money I would lose.

Chip, the promo your talking about at the top was for friday anyway..
Report chipfire227 December 10, 2011 9:30 PM GMT
Yeah I didnt bother with that as prize is only a Nintendo DS which is worth bobbins, and only of any use to someone under the age of 10.

This weekends one you have to generate 75 points today and another 75 tomorrow, and so far I've got 40. Seems bloody difficult to me playing 25/50 compared to the stt one where all you have to do is play 10 stts, which will cost you very little and take an hour at most.

Chip I'm trying to do this weekend playing 15/30 on 9 handed NLHE and hope table doesn't close. Played over an hour 2 or 3 handed last night and looks like enough but who knows.

Today got 3 and 4 handed stacked someone and then loads of players just came onto my table.

I'm obviously labelled a fish.

No idea how it works still so will try and donk a MTT or 2.

There wont be many runners in the freeroll ( nap )

Wish the qualification for the one sit and go freeroll we got had been as tough. ( n.b.)

The 3 day coinflip leaderboard must be the daftest thing they have come up with yet ( e.w. )

Assuming he still on 40% cake and needs to rack up poker volume to keep his trading % low.

Even I do not think playing to lose a leaderboard can be a winning proposition.
Do we have a load of fish on this leaderboard? 19-21st.
