The posters freeroll equates to a five quid buy in per head. Absolutely amazing for a freeroll.
Even the 865 will equate to 50p per head (ish)
Most of the players in it will be the 30p DYM and £100 freeroll bunch. You are not going to get better value anywhere.
Some of the bigger sites offer $20 freerolls that pull in 8000 runners.
Be thankful Sky offer these daily. It must cost a fortune.
So far Sky offer a £2000 monthly league.
a £250 weekly posters
Daily points freerolls
On top of this, they offer many, many free entries to tourneys via the goals and caption competition games.
so far, that equates to over £7000 monthly given away in freerolls.
This is before the rake back we get on our points.
In terms of rake, this must be a fair chunk of what they collect.
They pay the presenters and analysts, run a t.v. channel and pay all the backroom boys.
I have no doubt Sky poker currently operates at a loss.
Now, freerolls are not everyones cup of tea, they certainly are not mine, but none the less, don't bite the hand that feeds.

I cant know the exact figures obviously.
But in terms of site traffic, during the day there are only 500 or so seated. Evenings, there are maybe up to 2000.
Rake taken = pennies per hand/stt or a couple of quid for the bigger mtt.
Its still a huge number of hands that are required to be played just to pay for the freebies given away.
I still feel that the site is subsidised by Mr Murdoch to a degree.
The televised tourneys must run at a loss. 600 players paying a couple of quid buy in each. Now even I know that £1200 is not gonna pay for a three hour broadcast.
The mighty Orfords fee must be at least that!!!
Unfortunately the players with the bankroll/ability to participate are very limited.
And also, yes, the television broadcast makes skypoker unique and does ultimately attract new customers so to that extent, sky need to run these broadcasts at a loss to ultimately keep the footfall of traffic to the site steady.
but by ffff i cant remember where ,
well done for flying the flag for sky m8y
Remember guys, the Password for tonight's "865 Freeroll" will be revealed during tonight's Live TV Show (Master Cash), between 9pm & 9.30pm.
You must then Register for the 865 Freeroll using the revealed Password.
The 865 Freeroll will then start at 9.45pm. It will be 2,000 chips & on a 7 minute clock.
The seats will fill very fast, & there is a capacity of 2,000 runners.
Good luck.
revealed!
Lol at you guys.
NO CLUES!
I got in SOOOO much trouble last time. Never again!
Which starts at 8pm. And in which the Password will be reveled between 9pm & 9.30pm.
So anyone who wants the Password will have to endure Rich Orford blathering on aimlessly, & my pearls of wisdom, until the Password is revealed.
