Sunday Super Roller - changes to payout structure.
Good morning.
Some changes to this are going to be trialled, starting this Sunday, & for an indefinite period. They are not set in stone, but they won't be changed after a week or two, they need some time to settle.
More & more matters are being looked at, tweaked, hopefully improved, & this is just one of them.
Sky Poker also want to try & have a dialogue with players on these sort of things, hence the thread, it's just an attempt to keep players better informed.
I'll outline the changes shortly, but first up, why the changes?
More follows.....
Comments
These are the Bullet Points, & I'll Post some examples in the next Post.
Pays out ~20% more places
Middle and lower places are awarded better value prizes than previously.
Removes small percentages from the top places to make up for this.
For example if the Super Roller had 200 runners:
30 places would be paid out compared to the original 23.
First place would win £4,400 instead of £5,372 (22% instead of 26%).
Places 11 to 22 would get paid out slightly more.
Places 22 to 30 will now get paid at least double the buy-in compared to nothing previously.
If we look at 150 runners......
22 places would be paid out compared to the original 18
First place would win £3,750 instead of £4,087 (25% instead of 27.5%).
Places 13 to 22 would get paid out slightly more.
For now, these changes will be trialled in the Super Roller only.
They MAY be extended to other Freezeouts.
They will NOT be extended to Bounty Hunters, which have, of course, a totally different dynamic.
hi tikay,
what formula is used to calculate the number of places that cash?
thanks.
All feedback welcome, but can we please keep it on topic.
This is for payout structures only.
and is this change applied only to the sunday roller?
I have no idea, to be honest.
I do have a speadsheet with every variable, from 6 runners up to 400, & with places paid from 1 place (6 runners) to 60 places (400 runners), but I can't actually copy that, & I don't know what the formulae are.
I don't think I should publish the Spready, but am happy to take, & reply where possible, to any questions.
For now, JUST the Sunday Roller.
i understand not publishing the whole table, i am not asking about percentage payouts just the number of places. it is simply a list something like...
runners places paid
1-6 2
7-15 3
etc
Yeah, I can do that, & will do so shortly.
I don't have EVERY permutation, but I have 20 examples, ranging from 1 place to 60 places.
Bear with me please, am spinning a few plates right now.
At some stage, it will be published somewhere on the site, I would imagine.
luxury...
i have to spin plates, wearing a full clowns outfit, juggling four apples and playing bohemian rhapsody on my stylophone. even that would be fine were it not for the need to do so whilst riding my unicycle through all these flaming hoops.
no matter, i will wait and see on sunday.
I don't know the exact "bands", but I do have placed paid for 20 different examples.
The first figure is the number of runners, the 2nd figure is places paid.
6 - 2
10 - 3
30 - 6
40 - 7
60 - 9
70 - 11
80 - 12
90 - 13
100 - 16
130 - 18
150 - 22
180 - 27
200 - 30
230 - 34
260 - 39
300 - 45
340 - 50
400 - 60
Sorry to Hijack....can you check your pm's ref: Orfordable, entries still not in yet
I sent these up to Leeds at 0840 last Saturday.
I've no idea what has gone wrong, but I can't do anything to rectify it tonight I'm afraid, the chap I send them to has left the office for the day.
Sincere apologies - I shall have to re-arrange them for next Friday.
Sorry.
