am I alone?

Ok so 4 weeks of the premiership promo and no cashes for me. 25% chance of cashing each week so ive been unlucky so far. Week 5 I remain positive only to find my new team spurs are last! Holy moly! Everyone I know has cashed so far and some have won well over 100 quid.

please tell me im not alone so I can stop feeling sorry for myself!

You'll never walk alone. 

 lol. I am in the same position.  Lets sing together.

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

No mate not alone, it's another promo that was a great idea but not properly thought over.

Uneven teams regularly so if you get put in a team with 10% less players all ready on back foot! Summit for nothing so can't complain , but when I read aussie's piston it I just worked out at start of week who would be likely winners. Last two weeks been in teams with no chance based on previous weeks so not put the time in to qualify.

Got to be in it to win it though fella, spurs should get you a free £5 bet, but that's all I am afraid

stuarty117

got 13 quid and a couple of free bets so happy enough first cashes from any promos.

Only problem i have found is the teams should be equal other than that its a great promo.

No free bets either apart from last week which everyone got! Oh well 2 weeks left fingers crossed

You win too much anyway

CraigSG1

Nope. Every team I have been in has been in bottom four! Same this week. 

Absoloutly no incentive to grind.

Sorry to say mate won on all 4 weeks for just over £150.

gerardirl

I wonder if sky had a freeroll for those that didnt cash yet gained 50pts each week

Your 'incentive to grind' should be the same as it ever is.

DOHHHHHHH

4 weeks of the premiership promo

^^^^ Are you alone? 

You do the maths ...........................

Wow Hotwheals, that is some sick rungood.

Last week (week 4) was the first time I got money but was only £13 like.

Just see it as the chance of free money for doing nothing out the ordinary imo. I'd guess the average payout so far across all players is probably only like £10-£15 so you aint losing much 'in EV'. The incentive to grind is either cos you enjoy it or cos you beat the games (and if it's the latter then £10-£15 over a 4 week period is pretty small anyway)

Matt237

None. But I have a great chance this week with alot of high stake grinders  

Go on the Gunnnerrrrrrs. (Even for this weekend too!)

You are not alone

Agree with Craig here, I get the point that the incentive to grind is the same as it ever is, but that then doesn't say much for the promotion does it?! If it's a promotion I'd expect 'an additional incentive to grind'.

It's basically a prize draw for all but the biggest grinders, no one player who isn't either a high stakes player or a huge grinder can affect the result. Pretty sure when I looked at the board yesterday Style had accumulated over 3000 points in a day! 

The team captain addition was a good one, giving players who don't find themselves in a team with a big player the chance to battle for a bonus. 

Can never really moan about free cash, but worth wondering whether the promo has achieved its objective.

Much preferred the SnG promos recently where players are tempted into trying a different variant which may see them stick around in that format and increase traffic longer term.

The only thing I've won is 2x £5 free bets..

OK, incentive to put in more hours/effort.

splashies

No joy for me either, and no chance in week 5.

I have enough bricks from Sky promo's to build me a skyscraper.

gerardirl

Haha thanks for the replies, I feel better now im not alone

Ok so week 6 ...the red devils.....current position second last. 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh dear.....

No cashes no free bets (apart from when everyone got it)...am i still alone?

Please tell me Im not pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!

And before anyone asks me to do the maths there is a 7% chance of this happening to players and of this 7% the % of people that have reached 50pts a week reduces this to probably about 2%!
