FREEROLE REBUYS

MISSKIPLINMISSKIPLIN
edited January 2013 in Poker Chat
Sky poker is the only site on the planet that offers a freerole but offers a rebuy.I cannot believe the cheek of the place.Futher more the rebuy money is not added to the prizefund.
Why dont sky offer a competion with the points you gain added to a 50p buy in and make a competition worth taking part in,and stop this con of a freerole they continue to run,i am so angry.
They might as well make what they are running now a late registration ,just to make it even worse.
It seems to me .and people i have spoken to,that changes made on this site are for the big rollers,leaving the smaller players out in the wilderness.

    You don't have to rebuy, but as long as people continue to do so (152 rebuys & 52 add-ons in the £200 freeroll tonight!!!) then sky will keep them running.

    no other site does freeerolls of £200 with 600 players   most other sites to have a £200 in prizepool are over 5000 runners

    rebuys sir,rebuys,your not getting the point.No other site would have the cheek to introduce rebuys,or they too could offer £200 freeroles.

    Yeah all them high rollers keep taking advantage by being able to rebuy loads in a freeroll with £15 FTW ;)

    If you don't like rebuying/adding on, don't do it. If you don't like that others can, most people can afford £1.10 play one of the freezeout deepstacks, more money for the win and no rebuys :)

    For these past like week or two they've just doubled the prize pool of every freeroll and added more FRs to the schedule... not something for the high rollers, quite the opposite

    the rebuys are added to the prizepool once they exceed the total of the guarantee

    also do you really think High rollers would be playing these freerolls?

    Of course i dont think the high rollers will play these freeroles.Im generaly saying sky looks after the big rollers,which is a seperate issue to the pathetic freeroles.

    I've played freerolls on Sky where the guarantee has been exceeded, in fact in one I knowcked the same guy out enough times for him to pretty much make up the guarantee on his own ;)

    I like the freerolls on sky, its a chance for beginners like me to win a big tourny (big tourny to me) and gain experience in playing a MTT came 1st in one at xmas. Its your own choice to rebuy. And loads on sky. Plus good value this last couple of days doubling the money.

    Why?

    What should make it different to EVERY other guaranteed tournament?

    So lets make it a Freeroll with no entry fee, no guarantee then all the rebuys @ 50p make up the prize pool.

    Problem sorted.

    And the result will be a smaller prizepool :)

    That would be more logical yes, cuz I agree it's not a freeroll if the rebuys don't get added to the prizepool...

    It's a freeroll because you are entering a tournament that doesn't have a forced entry requirement. You can play it, then opt not to rebuy if you don't want to. 

    As the thread clearly isn't going anywhere (aside from a slanging match), I am going to close this thread.
