how sky work out the points on DYM is strange

edited July 2013 in Poker Chat
been playing sit and go,s for a while and this has been annoying me for a while any one else think the same?
why do you get 1point for a 30p DYM
you get 3points for a £2.25
you get 5 points fo £5.25
you get 5 points for £10.50
and 7points for £15.75
why do you only get 10 points for a £21 buy in ???
if i just played the £20 in 30p games i would get 66points seems strange to me

If you get a point for 30p surely should get at least 1point per £1 staked! also if you win you should get more points than the person/s that you beat!!

    It's done on Rake spent, not buy-in amount.

    There is a portion of the site dedicated to answering questions like this.

    It's not the fourm.

    It goes on how much rake you pay for each game.
    In noral 6 max DYMs, you pay 10% rake at games from £3 up.
    Below that you pay a higher %.
    In HU I think you pay less rake so get fewer points.
    So it works out at 1 point per 10p rake paid from £3 upwards in DYMs.
    If you play a HU game for £5.25 you are only paying 25p rake so they round it up to 3 points.
    IN regular DYM game it is £5.50 so pay 50p rake and get 5 points


    Or just follow Smitalos advice.
    They explain it much better than me.
