They will go up dont worry.
They seem to be gradually on the increase, the Primo is back up to £10k and some of the mid weeks 8pm's have been lower then what they are now I think
July and August is quite for all online poker sites--because it's the holiday season + recession +government cut backs + high unemployment = lower guarantees for tournaments at this time of year.
its unlikely that guarantees will ever get back to the dizzy heights of 2 years ago on any site
unemployment in this country seems highest with the younger generation (16-24) and as with any entertainment business they rely on this age group as they have as yet, hardly any family commitments, so if they are not working they cant spend--
the news will tell us that we are coming out from the recession however banks are not lending to small and medium businesses still, because they are being told by government that they must hold sock of cash reserves, so as not to fall into the same disastrous events of last years banking collapse again--
-
so to answer the question of higher guarantees here--only when customer numbers rise, and when its safe to do so--
no my names not gorden brown or david cameron--
in fact i wish i hadn't explained all this now --there's probably nobody reading this anyway--
everyone's looking for a job in situations vacant at the banks--
looks like they will be having a champagne windfall bonus again this month--
Anyone winning any of next weeks main events will I'm sure be delighted, I know I would even at todays payouts.
Shrewd Dave very shrewd )
The numbers are definatly back on the increase, as well as the GTD PP's... The Primo got a massive amount either this week or last I can't rmember which. Also all the other 8pm tournaments have increased from a couple of months ago. Its nice to see a top prize is back above 1k again, and one point it got down to about 800!!
Value for money is the Friday rebuy, More chips, longer structure, and bigger PP/runner ratio because its more like a 22 game than an 11.
