Sky Competitions

It might just be me, that's been missing them but is it just me or do they hardly ever do competitions on 865 any more. No more Trevial Pursuit, no more Orfords Disastermind.

I just don't seem to see them giving out many free entries to stuff anymore, but as I said, it could well be going on and maybe I've missed it.

They cut out the middle man and send all prizes directly to me now.

I've got a feeling we may not see Trevial Pursuit (or Trevor Harris) again, as he's not included on the most recent list of analysts:  https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby/tv-schedule/poker-analysts

To be fair to Sky, they usually add lots of additional prizes to forum competitions, how it compares to other sites, I don't know, but it seems quite generous to me. Whilst Orford's Disastermind will be missed (assuming it never happens again on the show), I think the general consensus on here is that if you've got 4 experts in, it's better for them to be talking about Poker than General Knowledge.

Even when you do win a prize in a Forum Comp, they still can't get it sorted! (4 months and counting!)

I've asked Tikay to sort it out numerous times but get brushed off each time.

Any news on any other Heads-Up comp in the future Lambert?

personal point of view................ , things like free comp entries are a bonus, and should be looked on as such,

Sky Poker don't have to give anything away, but do so continually, don't bite the hand that feeds and all that.

Yeah I certainly agree with you Scouse, for me it's more just a bit of fun that I miss. I just like a bit of trivia/fun/games on the show, I wouldn't mind if the prize was a £1.10 deepstack or even nothing... I just used to enjoy the quizzes.
