certainly just like football premeirship
Top six will always win after 2 weeks Foxes have over double the points of the team I was selected for The Hammers.
Who selected these teams ? they are so lopsided that the only chance I have is when we play one of the sides who hit less than 25000 points each week
No longer bothered or trying what a load of tosh.

Your last comment is so idiotic 1) the winners each week are 150-200 of them on each winning team a lot of them are small rake earners just lucky to have a few big rake earners on their team 2) the few big rake earners will not need the free bets but they are certainly the most deserving to win them
For EVERYONE to have a chance teams need to be redrawn each week
I just think the promo was better last year, the weekly prize/free bets were spread round more.

With only one random allocation of players into teams, you have the potential for a lot of " small fish " in one team without any larger points accumulators and with the " league " only played for a few games i.e. not every team playing every other team, the smaller points scoring teams may not get to play each other.
A "few" people complained last year that it was hard to follow with the chopping and changing of the teams.
This year a "few" people are complaining that the teams remain the same.
There will always be a "few" moaners however Sky try to give extra money away.
redraw every week and maintain everyone's interest throughout promo, therefore more play = more rake
Get me on Alvez's team or I'm never playing on Sky ever again.

Compare that to, say, the golden ticket promos where you know that you personally are guaranteed a direct shot at the top prize (whatever that may be) if you grind your 50/100pts in a week and there is a clear carrot to play a little bit more if you are the sort of person that normally gets 40pts week-in, week-out.
That's the only extra way of driving significant extra rake, so if it doesn't attract the recs to play more then the promo is a bit flawed. I'm 99.9% certain that the reg players like Alvez aren't upping their volume just to make sure they win a couple of £5 tokens every week
That's for Sky Poker's owners to worry about though, they obviously see enough benefit to doing this promo. And if they don't, it won't be repeated.
For the player there is zero downside. Who wants to play poker through August anyway. Go on holiday. Spend hours in a beer garden. Wander about looking at women letting it all hang out in the sun.... way more fun things to do than blag some free bets that will most likely lose anyway
I accept you could still be drawn into a loosing team every week.
would be interested to know from sky when promo ended which was better last year or this year.
