cash for points?

It says that cash for points for sng's is 10 points per $1 fee, but what happens if the the fee is less.
For instance, is a £2.25 sng worth 2.5 points (or 4 worth 10 points)?
Assuming they are, can someone just look over my figures and see if they are right please?
1000 points is worth £15 to me
£2.25 game x 4 = £8 + £1 = 10 points
x 40 = £80 + £10 = 100 points
x 400 = £800 + £80 = 1000 points
400 games = 16 games x 25 days
£800 + £80 = £880 outlay for £15 bonus
In addition, I can have all the tables on top of each other on one side of the screen and play my usual games on the other side.
I have a (very) small sample of 12 games for a £5 profit (£1 and £2 games). However, I was just testing the water. The games I cashed in were standard but the ones I didn't were because I had so many tables open I wasn't giving enough attention and got blinded out, lesson learnt!
I am not for one second saying I could make a profit, but if I was to break even (in rake), would the above calcs give me the bonus as profit.

£5.50 x 2 = £10 + £1 = 10 points
x 20 = £100 + £10
x 200 = £1000 + £100 = 1000 points
£1.15 x 20 = £20 + £3.00 = 30 points
x 200 = £200 + £30 = 300 points
1000 points = 200 + 200 + 200 + 100
= £700 + £105 = £805 buyins
£1.15 buyin takes 700 games for a £805 risk (total outlay not including winnings)
£2.25 buyin takes 400 games for £880 risk
£5.50 buyin takes 200 games for £1100 risk
Seems the higher the rake, the less the risk. This is outweighed by the fact that the lower buyins take a lot longer to clear.
Thoughts?
£1.15 = 2 points
£2.25 = 3 points
£3.30 = 3 points
£5.50 = 5 points
£11 = 10 points
£22 = 20 points
£33 = 30 points
£55 = 50 points
£110 = 100 points
russian roulette
£1.10 = 2 points
£2.20 = 3 points
and so on
so 4 x 2.25 game is £8 + 1 = 12 points
so 400 would give you 1200points
the min outlay for the 1000 points is £300 that the lowest stake to risk in stt
hope this helps
It is DYM's I am playing yes, I didnt realise there were extra points on offer at lower stakes. That makes it even more attractive as a short term thing
£2.25 would take 334 games risk £751.50
£3.30 would take 334 games risk £1102.20
£5.50 would take 200 games risk £1100
£11 would take 100 games risk £1100
£22 would take 50 games risk £1100
30p dym would take 1000 games risk £300
Whilst you're on the subject............is the c4p automatically paid into your account or do you have to apply for it each month ( I don't think I have been automatically paid b4 but that could be that I have never achieved the min target for the month).
Ps;..... If my memory serves me right I did register for them 15 months ago by entering the code 'points' in the free stuff section of my account, I think that's correct.
Also, if they pay out automatically, are you informed of the fact that the bonus has been paid into your account ?
i dont think you get notified
I might do that one month if i cant play much and am not gonna get to the 1000 points.
I am playing non-stop atm cause of half term, have made up 1000 points so far, with these dym's if i decide to do it, i could get up to 3000 which is more than I ever managed. its also a 20% boost to my working BR, hence it is worth doing if possible
I just play for fun never get bonuses so i wish you gl.
