In Response to Re: ****PLAYSTATION 4 LEADERBOARD**** : I know your not having a go with this post, as you've done the old smiley face thing . But I think it's crazy all the "I have no chance, it's not fair" posts and comments I see. These guys are making crazy money for Sky, and Sky want to reward them, if you only make a few - couple of thousand points a month why would Sky just turn around and hand you a PS4? Last month was a really good promo IMO, only 50 points a day is very managable, and it kept people playing during the Christmas time. There were some great prizes out there, and EVERYONE had the potentional to win them. That was clear to see by the quantity of people in the freerolls. I've only made around 500 points this month, so I know I'm not in with a chance, but why should I when the top 10 boys have played 10x the amount as me... There seems to be a lot of "Well if he can have it, then why can't I have it" attitude in life nowadays and nobody seems prepared to work for it a lot of people expect things to be handed to them on a plate...

It the story of the coconut which fell on the ground, and was left alone
People want food, but when the coconut fell from the tree nobody wanted it, why cant people just accept it
hi flash your right im not moaning about who is at the top of the table but I think sky may have missed a opportunity here may be set diff criteria ie there giving a way 10 ps4 bundles great what a opportunity but why could they not do a top 10 then a free roll for another say 3 for top 100 then a single ps4 free roll for everyone who has entered who didn't get into the top 100 like you ,me and average joe. I know sky is a business and want to make plenty of money but if you know u have seriously got no chance of getting in the top 100 do u play more hands ????? no u go back to playing like you did before u thought u had a chance like I say I love the promo and cheers sky for doing them I just think it may be good if sky had thought about everyone who enters like me a recreational player who often gets may be 2/3 hours a day to stand a chance hope that's explained im sure people have gone over this a million times :-) and also im not one for moaning !!!!!!!!!!! lol
This was such an easy promo to predict for the top 10 ,
Players who do put in the hours do deserve there rewards but then again for those who play lower levels and still played 12 hour days every days they have actually got no hope , i did state that it would be players from nl100 and up.
So for the rest its just to make the top 50 if they can.
Alot of players will stop putting in the hours for this promo tho by looking at the points tally and who is in the top 10 and straight away see that they have no hope.
Playing 10 hours nl50 wont even compete with someone doin 8 hours of nl100 eg.
But great promo either way and ts good of sky to be adding all these good ones these past few months.

Not really disagreeing with you but dontellmum kind of disproves this.
Ok, he is probably the exception rather than the rule. However, it does show they someone dedicated playing NL20 in the main can win these kind of promos.
I know this is a real grind for most players but please keep in mind that players 11-50 have a real great chance of winning a PS4 as they compete in a freeroll where the top 6 each win a PS4.
There are also PS4 Freerolls scheduled for the last 2 weekends of the month that players will be able to participate in if they earn 300 and then 500 player points this month.
Going forward we have plans to run separate leaderboards depending on which reward group you are in. So this leaderboard format will evolve in the coming months to give cash/prizes to various different kinds of customers.

Lazy people shouting for prizes really annoys me. They expect the same prizes as people who grind non stop.
I play low stakes, I compete with the highest stakes grinders and I occassionally win. Why, because Im not lazy and I'm determined to win. Stop moaning on here and grind!

Aimed at me?
Asking a question about an e-mail I got showing this tourney.
hi dontellmom I get what your saying here about grinding and I wish I could do more than I do but lets look at this from a business point of view I get the grinders will deserve the prizes sky on the other hand want the non grinders to put in extra volume to yes? but if they have very little chance of winning a top one hundred spot this would u up your play? or stay the same? on the flip side im grateful of the grinders they do a important job for us little fish they keep the site going in there revenue :-)

Hi chefboy.
Im sure it would be very easy to make the top 100 and work a full time job. Plus you could do 18 hour sessions on Saturdays and Sundays.
Sky withdraw the biggest rakers from this promo to try and help the players that rake less. They have listened to all the complaints from the past and tried to do something about it. So they move the goal posts slightly. Now, the guys that just can't quite get there in this promo are starting to chirp that they can't win.
Realistically i wont have a chance as i have a job and can only play a couple hours in te evening, but as above poster have said, they have taken out the loyalty members, otherwise this would have been over long time ago
In the future perhaps having a "low stakes" and "high stakes" and "pirority" leaderboard might make everyone happy, just about

Yeah thats a great idea Justin - I think you guys do a good job with your promo's you put thought into it and take in mind players opinion, I know how the industry works so i'd never complain obveously the biggest rake earners deserve the higher valued prizes that's common sense
Couple of the names are actually in priority!? Am i right in assuming they didnt make 10k points last month? which means they get the benefits of staying in priority but also get to take part in and benefit from promotions that otherwise would exclude them!!?

they'd have to structure it well. They can run a simple lower stakes prizes league but you'll get some sad acts that will actually drop 3-4 levels beneath their normal limits just because they know its easy money! This has happened in past promotions!
