£30,000 Gold, Silver, Bronze Rewards Leaderboards...
...have all been updated for today.
Comments
The first leaderboard you opt-in to will be the one that you are on."
So no reason why someone couldn't make a brand new account for it.
If you were a big high raking player, which table would you pick? Knowing you could CRUSH Bronze easily and lock up 2 x £850 or try to compete with some of the highest rakers on the site when it's only a fairly small difference in Gold (2 x £1100)
Some of them are 'old' players though yeah. One of them seems to come and go from the site (both at the tables and on the forum) in exact correllation with someone else that comes and goes from the site and forum. But meh, no point moaning about it.
Start with a good idea, build it into a very good idea and then just before they sign it off, someone throws something in that spoils the good ideas and intentions.
Atleast a lot of people will get some sort of prize, even if it's only a tenner or 20 quid.
But it does mean someone who hasn't played much last month, but is a grinder, can lock up top spot.
This promo was definatly gonna benefit some, but not everyone.
Definatly mate.
A good idea for a promo, might be something like an individual rake race, something a long those lines.
Or something like the golden tickets, which is really inclusive.
I knew when promo started that i was gonna lose hundreds of pounds to get to where i am now but was happy to do that knowing that 1st or 2nd place in the promo would pay for my loss and i would then have all the rewards owed to me in rb and then be on a higher bracket in the rewards table so that i could then play cash tables for the next 2 weeks and have a nice payout at the end of it.
Also to answer a question what Lambert asked a few days ago, the reason the bronze tier had more than the silver tier for the first week of this promo is because i wanted to make certain that any of the guys who opted into the promo up until the 8th found the silver a more appealing tier to enter being less points and more cash etc and hopefully make the bronze have an easier run in during the double points for cash tables promo this week.
I should just add that this promo was all about making points and there were no rules about how to do it and i am far from the only one who is doing this, remember it takes someone else to join these things before the game starts and loads of the top scorers on the lbs are playing these aswell
FWIW i wont be doing this for the 2nd part of this promo cos like i said i will be playing the cash tables and am sick of the sight of RRs
This promo just proves to me that being in priority is a total waste of time.
This month potentially I could make over 2k in cash from this promo, as I am aiming for 2nd in the 1st part
and 1st in 2nd part of the gold leaderboard + all my rewards bonuses. Being in priority I have knowhere near come close to winning anything like the amount I could win this month. Then just don't bother playing much again till another promo like this comes along.
Hey, can you do smiley faces? PM me if you want to know how.

In Response to Re: £30,000 Gold, Silver, Bronze Rewards Leaderboards...:
Hi mate.
Your calcs are right and if i had ran at break even pace it 100% def wouldnt be worth me doing this but when i started playing these i thought that a score of around 6-8k would win the bronze tier so i was prepared to lose a good few hundred quid to get a few 1000 points headstart on the competion then play cash to get me to the score i needed.
However as i started noticing some of the names appearing on the bronze tier it became clear that 8k would def not win it and like i said on the other post there was still up until the 8th to opt in so i decided to just blast through the RRs and make sure i stayed ahead of the silver tier until after the opt in time had gone.
As i type this i have 11300 points and have lost exactly £643 to get them so i must have ran pretty well in them cos a massive % of the total has came from RRs.
If i won the lb at this point it would mean that i have made £207 off the promo plus £210+ rb along with the fact i am now only 8700 points away from the 25% bracket and have also got into prio and am able to play the main and mini prio tournies so as far as i am concerned it has been worth doing but like i said i have ran well in them. FWIW though i wont be doing it again cos they melt your brain mate and it just seemed like a good idea at the time
