When it was my Birthday I put a 1000 pound behind the Bar. What im getting at is
I have just invited 5 friends to join sky poker, who plays alot on the internet and said to them if you can get your account up and running by 2mor you can go in the sky birthday comp. I gave it large to be honest without looking at the prize money, and now feel embarrassed as 140 placed only gets 24p and if you manage to get though and win the whole comp you wont even win 50 pound.
SKY PLEASE STEP UP AND LETS HAVE A PARTY ON YOU.
LOVE ALL YOUR FRIENDS ON SKY THAT SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA.
cheers Johnny1mac
PS Overall sky is great and a up and coming site. Love the sky T.V the poker tours. the community and chat and really friendly site. But most of us are all here to win money and even if your not you would expect more for a few hours work. If I win im going to donate my winning on a home game to one of the friends that sign up.
Sky Poker put on lots of other events too like the TKO`s and Team Poker, ALL of which are free to enter.
Turn it in.
P.S I Have help a big sites on a lot of technical problem and have come up with some good points
I dont want them embarrassed as a site as I really enjoy skypoker. Plus they should of put the prize money up and done it part of a promotion to get more player involed.
Thats my point they do other free stuff but this is sky's 1st birthday.
next year they should take a pound from evry comp and added it to a sat to qualify for sky birthday next year.
How do you think other site look good I just coming up with idea to promote the site and yes I would stop what I doing and join them 2morr.

P.S Dont think you understand my point.
I agree with reducing to only 50 paid would be better, although maybe their regulations due to how many are registered they cant do this?
just think most freerolls on here are pointless, but then again for those who havent got the funds at least its a starting point
which is why i haven`t voted..sorry
.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKY COMMUNITY! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I DO know that the tooth-fairy is a sly f***** though. Unless its my Mum that puts the notes under my pillow.
When all said and done it is a business to make money/profit and can understand low payouts on Freerolls to some extent but shouldn't be made out to be bigger or better than it actually is.
Felt the same re the welcome Bonus when a friend introduced me - cleverly worded to make you think you would get more than you actually would. Site not too bad - converted from Betfair a few months ago but still not quite sure whether to go back.
As its the forums 1st birthday perhaps Sky should have limited entry to those that actually post on the forum on a regular basis then there wouldn't be quite so many entered into the game and fewer moans about this free to enter game.
No one expects anything from nothing, but alot of players spend alot of time and money on here, Your a teacher do the maths 1,500 players in this comp. Plus they have promoted this comp so much ie it not the wosp
but I feel they could of taken money from other comp and done sats for the 1st birthday.
Anyway apprecaite your comment and hope you havn't taken mine in the wrong way I trying to get behind sky.

What I am saying is that sky is relatively new and smaller in comparison to some of the other sites out there.
If you balance out the ratio of paying site members/players and the prizes on offer in the freerolls, there would probably not be a great deal of difference. At the end of the day, if the prize pool is £200 or £20000 the money has to be generated from somewhere.
Read a lot of stories about rake and how this can vary from site to site too. Does this contribute to large freeroll prize pools on other sites?
I do understand what you are saying about sky promoting the comp though Johnny. It is a bit-off if it is being dressed up to attract new players.
In Response to Re: SKYS BIRTHDAY what do you think!:
Hi emilyeggI Agree with you as well in comparison to some other sites .But sky can ofter so much more than other sites with the backing of T.V. etc. and your right I am Member of over 20 sites it all I do. But there was one uk site in the early days use to give away gd money in freeroll to promote themselfs for new players, but this is not a great idea what they tend to do now is to take money from other comps and then have a weekly mulit, where you have to qualify still but added prize money also goes towards the comp, so there are ways around this quite within sky reach. regarding sky's promoting the comp I did invite 5 players to come and try out the site with a special birthday comp they could all go in, but silly me invited them before looking at the prize pool.
Other site still dont give to much away,they get everyone to pay towards it in some form or another.
any way thanks for your comments
maybe we should have a vote for me to come up with some new comps. Im not saying the site big enough to grt 100,000 but they could do 10,000 enough with out them putting a penny in.
Cheers
Johnny Mac
but yes I hear what your saying thanks for your comments
It's Bazz .. Dont give up on what you've said here, all these comments and replys come from good players and probably some of the best people in the community ..
Sometimes it feels like your banging your head against a wall in here , but apparently things are changing in the next month so time will tell ..
I like your Idea and maybe the marketing people missed an opportunity ..
I've been campaigning for the 'little guys and gals' for months now , so lets see what the month of JUNE brings, but it's good to see you here and even writing again (lol).. glk mate Bazz
