If there was a million on the line then I think a lot of people could do it. You put your life on hold and grind super hard. Of course the first few months would be hard because of bankroll limitations but as you grind up the balance you can play higher.

Do you think i could do it Matt if i put my mind to it and did all the things you say in 12 months
Speaking for MTTs, it's harder than ever this year because of reduced guarantees, but still doable.
Say you fire every reasonably big MTT from 6pm, that's around £400 in buyins on average. If you have a 20% ROI, that's £80 per night. And that ABI is being conservative because you have re-entries, and during UKOPS you also have bigger buyin, better value tournaments. 360 days x £80= £28,800. Even if you ran below EV for the year, for the other 8-10 hours of the day you could grind cash, which if you had any sort of winrate would take it over £30k.
With £1,000,000 on the line, grinding most of the day all year, I think a lot of people could do it.
I believe that they are probably many players on here that could do it. Certainly cash and DYM. MTT may be harder due to the limited games available but still then it’s well within the capabilities of quite a few given the additional reward for doing so.
Anyone who thinks it cannot be done, what would be a reasonable target amount.
there are quite a few players who already make over 30k a year on this site. The £1000 bankroll does not throw in much restrictions either because with sensible bankroll management and a lot of grinding that would change in the positive direction quite quickly for most regs.
I think the real issue highlighted here is as I have said before sky is a great site to make a small amount of money easily its not a great site to make a lot of money.
I think sometimes my issue is I struggle with Variance mental game etc.
I have decided to move to lower variance formats for the time being to grind up a proper bankroll stably. that is on other sites sky is low variance.
Still on topic then but from a different perspective.
What percentage of Sky players do you think could pull this off given no reload 5%, 10%, even more?
Also would it be more of a feat than a micro stakes player turning £100 into £3,000 over the same time frame and under the same rules.
I would say it was at least 5x more likely that micro stakes players could do the lesser amount, with an amount of study and given the time for the challenge.
Don’t know if I could do £100 to £3000 as that would involve study time rather than clicking random buttons and not making donk raises, this would be easier to put to the test. Reset shark scope and you are away.
Agree with groggy I think @Essexphil is way too pessimistic here
Putting life on hold it could be done by a large number of players
Strictly without being able to reload - I doubt it very much.
Any bookmaker would open a book against it with the right number of players
Yeah i guess it’s just different opinions
£1000 would give me 100 buy ins at £10 dyms I’d be very surprised if i needed to reload
@Jac35 I am aware that you are a profitable dym player. So with that in mind how many games / hours a day would you reasonably expect to play to make something like this achievable and how many tables would you play for optimum performance.

I had a very basic look at it. Based on my stats it seems that If i played 80/100 dyms a day at my regular stake of £9 i’d be able to do it when adding in rakeback I’d probably 8-10 table

Now you just need someone to stake the £1 million!

However if someone can spare it and for some strange reason is willing to offer me a free roll on the challenge let me know. lol.
but just wanted to say GREAT to hear from you.
