i think sky have done a gd job with this freerole. and have hd a hard time from some. ok i made the 1k points playing heads up hypes not for everyone i admit. but i would rather see a freerole with 20-35 in it then a 150 player freeroll in it. gl all that made it and wp sky on running a fantastic promotion.

Who's give them a hard time m8? My point is I got 14k c4p play every day but can't play today as my wife is having a op an can't get on till tonight so my point is the 28hour allocated doesn't suit a lot of people especially people working! If it was 17th June to the 18 June I'd have over 1k but cuz it started at 7pm 17th June am just short! Hopefully I can pick her up before 6 to get the 100 points i need! Gl in it tho
Well - I must admit I thought I had no hope of making 1000 points in a night as I only usually play MTTS aswell. I asked for advice on earning points quickly and was advised to play some S&Gs and HU games. I can't multi table as much as I'd have liked so I ended up playing 2 tables at a time last night (HU games) as my lappy was doing a huge update and was very laggy. It took me 5 hours to hit the 1000 points - and played 100 or so £22 games!! I could have tried cash games but as I've not played much cash games and don't really fancy it I gave it a miss. I was lucky enought to end up slightly up on the night - but could have been a lot worse if it had gone the other way. Just added up all the numbers and saw that I spent £2,095.50 on buy ins!!!! Glad I didn't realise it before I started or I would never have even tried lol. It was bleeding hard work - and I'll prob be first out tonight anyway when the game runs - but at least I gave it a good go!! Good luck all who are trying this. Posted by IrishRose
Great effort on the points IrishRose!
I know you've been trying to bag one of these so would be great to see you get there! Good luck!

Very well done. I'm glad you ended up slghtly ahead, slightly down would still have been good going.
I thnk 28 hours was too much seeing as I managed 1k points in 3 hours! Just kidding ofc :P
Obviously for selfish reasons I love this promotion - thought I wouldn't be able to do it as was busy all today but thankfully it started last night. I just had to leave packing a suitcase for my holiday in the morning! I could easily have missed out had I been busy, but that's life.
As for this promotion encouraging excessive gambling - that's pretty much what all points race promotions do and not specific just to this one.
In response to Ebberdon - Promotions should be designed to encourage low stake players to play more but also to keep the high stakes players that give a lot of rake to sky incentive to play. Low stake players now get a £1k freeroll every night which is completely useless to high stake players.
Maybe sky need to target the middle stake players too, that is something that definitely could be improved on.
bad promo this! good your giving a free seat in a freeroll like but what about people who cant grind for the 28 hours u have allocated! have got 14k c4p this month an because am not on today i cant reg to it! Posted by nslater112
