In Response to Re: when is a freeroll not a freeroll?? : Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat !!! really??? 2 x "6 monthly" 50k freerolls ftw plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (with optional 50p rebuys and add on's - Can u imagine the average stack at the break??? Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep !!! Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Well today's Freerolls are as follows.........
01.00 - £50
12.30 - £50
16.00 - £50
19.00 - £100
22.30 - £100
TOTAL = £350
x 7 (weekly total) = 7 x £350 = £2,450
x 52 (Annual Total) = 52 x £2,450 = £127,400.
That EXCLUDES the various seasonal Promotions, Freerolls Fessies, stuff like the Premiership, the original Take On Tikay, etc etc.
Work it out yourself, the number is staggering. And for every £1 of rebuys which contributes to it, another £1 is effectively added to the total.
I suppose it's an age thing, I experienced life in different times, but if people are still not happy at those numbers, I don't really know what else to say. Just my personal view, like.
Mr Macmillan probably had the right idea, 40 or 50 years ago, & was famous for saying as much, but Lord Young said he same thing a few weeks ago & got the tin-tack.
Tommy Trinder said something along similar lines, too.....

Na i can post on here whilst i play my DYM's so it don't really affect me? thanks for your concern though
im with dohhhhhhh... a 50k freeroll every 6 months.. think of the advertising and attention you could get at that!!!! wow iv got a har d on just thinking about it ps it should be capped at 250 runners (1st come 1st served basis) Posted by bigflop1
i think there would be a big queue for that one!!:))))))
Ive tried to understand all that has been written but im stumped. Seems like a smokescreen to be frank and that our hard earned is urinated up against some wall in the Midlands somewhere.
But what do we know, this forum is full of two bob fruit cakes who's reply to everyone is to play elsewhere, mugs!
Its of little wonder that the plyer base of sky does not increase given the two bob struggling runts who disguise themselves as nice guys but if you dare come on here and criticise their beloved skypoker then prepare yourself for a barrage of verbal.
As ive said before, ill meet anyone of you in any nuclear sub car park in the country and we can have a square go, obviously the keyboard warriors will not be able to bring their keyboards so i doubt any of you will take me up on my offer!

You have clearly misunderstood the posts above. Try reading them again. The kitty is used for freerolls and free prizes. Sky Poker make nothing (directly) out of freerolls and, in fact, spend a lot on them.
I think many people, who hadn't done the sums themselves, were surprised at how much Sky gives to "you freerolers".
WHEN ITS ON SKY...,LOL ive just seen that the rebuys in the so called freerolls are not added on the prize pool. so if its a 50 pound freeroll and they are say 100 rebuys at 50p each thats the 50quid prize pool lolol ..haw can u call this a freeroll, sky players are paying the prizepool and sky are calling it a freeroll and its not costing sky a penny lolol nice 1 sky........1 word SHOCKING.....but u do ave to laugh lolololololololololololol Posted by xxLunaxx
sky are giving free games to play it dnt matter about rebuys u need to chill and enjoy ur poker instead of moaning or dont play them its not russia we live in ya know
we get free rolls everyday which i love we get good cheap poker and people moan all i can say go somewhere else and shut the **** up and let the rest of us enjoy it
Today is a Sky Poker SNOW DAY - there's no days like Snow Days - and ALL the Freerolls have been DOUBLED in value, plus Santa will be in the Tables dispensing free stuff from his sack.
Today's Freerolls have all been re-badged as "FREEZING FR", & the Guarantees upped as follows......
They cant even be described as freerolls when you have to buy in with points imo.Other sites have regular freerolls with much bigger prizepools,and no points to buy in so if ya wanna waste hours on a donkfest best look elsewhere for freebies!
Sky Poker budget to spend a certain sum per year on Freerolls. Let's say the figure, hypothetically, is £100,000. (The actual figure is greater). If, say, a "£1,000 Rebuy Freeroll" happens to generate £1,000 worth of Rebuys, then the cost of the Freeroll to Sky Poker is nil. That £1,000 "saved" remains in the annual Freeroll Budget, effectively, it adds to the total. So the hypothetical £100,000 worth of freerolls per annum remins intact, & that means more Freerolls. The money "saved" is not withdrawn from the Freeroll Budget, it will all be spent during the current financial year. If the Rebuys generated £100,000 per annum, then there would be, hypothetically, then be £200,000 worth of Freerolls. Players can play on Sky Poker forever, every single day of the year if they so desire, without ever depositing a penny, or paying for Rebuys, if they so wish. Every penny of Freeroll Rebuy money just goes back into the Freeroll kitty. Posted by Tikay10
tk,surely(dont call me shirley!) someone gets the op's main point and that is sky are putting on a gtd freeroll which in reality cost them nothing because it gets paid for by the rebuy's.
you may as well say sky have a budget of 500000k for freerolls but if they pay for themselves it is just a ghost budget.
what happens at the end of the year when the budget is still there?
does it just get passed on to the next year or used in another area?
sky is a business and has to make a good profit but dressing up a rebuy freeroll as giving something back to the customer is a bit sad imo.
then there is still the situation of charging rake on rebuys,i dont know if they are charged a rake on freeroll rebuys but if so that means sky are putting on a gtd freeroll and actually making a profit from it.

I have yet to see a freeroll meet its guarantee from rebuys and add-ons so each freeroll does cost Sky Poker money. They don't charge rake on freeroll rebuys.
It's pretty simple really - they don't cost money to enter and you can win money. That's a freeroll by any definition.

in that case i stand corrected,the op seemed to be saying the rebuys always added up to more than the prize money?
good to see they dont charge rake on the freeroll rebuys but they still do on the normal rebuys which is pretty bad as its not the normal thing to do on other sites......
