Sky priority club freeroll

Yeah so made priority club last month and am on track to maintain it this month, anyway the priority club freeroll as nice a jesture as it is ill prob give it a miss 

i imagine most of the P-club members like see me see poker as 'Work' and not in it for the gamboool, therefore offering Sports bets as prizes isnt really an attraction to me, i would have like to have seen some other prizes cash/tourny ticket/live seats or otherwise on offer

if first prize was hot date with LML id be more inclined to play...

any1 else feel the same?

    so you worked your rearend off to get into the priorty club then dont want to reep the benfits!!!? lol. plus how is it a gamble? your not going to be using any money out of your bankroll and it gives you the chance to win a huge amount of free money. i put £10 on football accumulator last week and won £700 so if used the £25 would have got more than double that. 

    easy money most of us will be in luton for the SPT anyway. which was a rediculous decision to hold it on friday rather than sunday imo but whatever.

    when you get given stuff for free, its always best to STFU IMO.

    As i understand it, the sky priority club freeroll is not a monthly 'right' it is just an added bonus they put in. They dont have to put it on at all, some months they may put other 'free' types of games on, so the prizes will and do vary from month to month accordingly, maybe next month you will win bingo vouchers.

    Many months ago when the league 'freerolls' were achievable by many more than just the 'elite' players on here, they held one which coincided with the 2nd day of the Grand Final of the SPT @ DTD.

    A lot of players requested if this could be possibly changed.

    It wasn't.

    Its a pretty poor freeroll. Obviously I'm grateful for anything extra. But its aimed to get us to donk off aload of money to sky bet. 

    Im actually happy its on Friday, so I dont have to waste my time playing it.

    You cant use these bets on accumulators, only single bets. So less chance your gonna win huge. And they want you to win your free bet, so you get addicted and spew off aload of money, trying to get that "win" again.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm sorrry if this does not meet with your approval.

    The "Sky Poker Priority Club" bestows a range of benefits upon all those who have earned Priority Club status.

    Sky Poker try to mix it up a bit, keep it fresh, with a variety of differing benefits, some better than others, some not so.

    The Prize Fund for this Freeroll is, according to the Poker Lobby, as follows......

    ".....This is a private Priority Club freeroll with £1375 of free bets on the Cheltenham festival up for grabs! All free bets will be credited within 24 hours. ...."

    Players are not obliged to play the Priority Club Freeroll, but it's a £1,375 Freeroll, whatever way it's viewed. If less players exercise their option to play it, the Prize Fund will remain unchanged, & the rest of the players will still share the benefit. More for less, so to speak.

    I expect it is a benefit Sky Poker will review in future months if players don't think it's worthwhile, hopefully for something which is better received.

    Yeah its good to mix it up, as everyone is different. I'm guessing these bets can only be used on Cheltenham Festival?? I have no interest in ever betting on Horses. Horse Racing is for mugs IMO.

    So 53 entrants, some are not playing, some carnt play......could be a tournament that everyone is a winner then....

    Then maybe a loser.....lol.

    Would it not of been easier to issue ALL the club members a equal betting token to use on the festival?
