Are Pro Bounty Tournaments Rigged?

Are Pro Bounty Tournaments Rigged?

It seemed only yesterday when I played my first FeltStars Pro Bounty Tournament; as a bounty - yikes! I didn't know what to expect, there was more than $100,000.00 on the line with really a minimal amount of players entered to try and win it. They all paid $5 each.

There were really good odds based on the figures in anyone’s opinion (I guessed anyway): 159 players, 4 pros, $5 entry and up to $100,000.00 for knocking us out. $100.00 was going to definitely be made by 4 lucky people making their entry an ROI of around 20:1 if they were successful.

During the tournament I saw comments however. The comments alarmed me! Players were chatting saying: "There is no way anyone is going to even have a chance of knocking out 2 pros let alone all 4 and winning $100,000.00." As I scratched my head and wondered why this comment was made they continued their conversations. "Look at the pro bounty tournaments on the other sites, they are obviously all rigged! Not in almost 5 years has anyone ever won more than the minimal bounty prize (which is of course $100.00 for each pro in the case of the FeltStars tournaments). I again scratched my head and went and looked at the pro bounty tournament figures on other certain sites. There were masses of players which I guess assured me why.

I continued on playing and found myself the chip leader. Before long, one pro had been knocked out (Tyler Smith) and there were still 3/4 remaining. Myself (HotAusChick2), DrCheckRais & BootnTee. Not only were there still 3 pros remaining, but there were less than 2 tables of players left in the tournament. Amongst these players included the player whom knocked out Tyler meaning; he had a really good chance of still winning the $100,000.00 bounty prize if he could take some more of us down.

Before I knew it I found myself on a table with only 7 players, 3 were the remaining pros. BootnTee got knocked out and of course the final table followed. On this table, there was a man who had knocked out BootnTee, Me and DrCheckrais. The guy who knocked out Tyler had been busted so there was no chance of anyone winning the $100,000.00. There was still a massive chance of this guy who knocked out BootnTee winning $10,000.00 for his $5 entry (plus the prizepool cash of course).

The guy blew his chances of $10,000.00 and just collected the $100.00 bounty. This left the possibility of the remaining players winning $1000.00 for knocking out the remaining 2 pros. Myself and the good Dr.

Here we found ourselves in the final four. Myself, the Dr and 2 players. I went out with a lucky man taking $100.00 for bumping me! He now had a shot at $1000.00 if he took out the Dr as well! Quick re calculation on this man’s investment if he did take out the Dr! $5 entry to win $1000.00 (plus the prizepool which we will leave out of the equation. Around 200:1 ROI! (Return on Investment). That is HUGE for an online tourney with only 159 players!

Now of course; based on the chatters half way through the tourney this could NEVER happen. Well it did! He took out the Dr and by memory won the tournament. A happy day for this guy! A very happy day!

Back to the heading: Are Pro Bounty Tournaments Rigged? Obviously not ours! There were really high chances of winning the max prize of $100,000.00. Even higher chances of winning $10,000.00, and a more then incredibly high chance to win $1k! There is of course the certainty of winning $100.00 per pro for 4 people, that’s a definite!

Our next pro bounty tourney is on in 5 days from this post. If you have $5 to spare, you can know that it is a sure and reliable poker investment! As for any other sites tournaments; I can't comment as I have never played in them. I assume they all work the same though. There is one every month, check FeltStars lobby at the top!

Poker Scammers and Scandals? – Or Not?

Poker Scammers and Scandals? – Or Not?

It is my greatest interest to try to protect my friends in the poker industry; specifically that of the online industry which has been under the hammer for a long time now.

There have been a few online poker scams or scandals that have been in the news – this is old news, there is no doubt about that. Until another one occurs (which is less than likely) this is hopefully the last time they will be mentioned. I am not talking about these past poker scammers and their unethical tactics and scandals but others that people should be very cautious of at all times.

It is seen with pyramid selling in day to day life and also in “too good to be true deals” that these cults pray on the poker players who are under privileged, the same occur in the online poker industry and it is very sad. Thank fully it isn’t our trusty online poker sites that are doing this; I call it the people doing it the “hidden online hustlers”.

I have tested out all the “free bankroll deals” as an example of in my opinion of invisible online hustlers. Let me tell you my analysis. My analysis ends with – good luck cashing out your winnings, you are going to spend endless hours trying to gain enough points to do so. When you are talking $25 no deposit deals (as an example) you are going to have to spend weeks on end playing at very low limits to get anywhere and I mean WEEKS. You will in reality be very lucky to ever get the points required to cash out if you play by the book and stick to bank roll management. Poker Scam in my opinion – you may as well go and play on a play money site or deposit $20 and be done with it! At least if you win $1200 in a tourney you can get your cash depositing.

This doesn’t apply to every person who gets a free bankroll of course. Some WILL pass the requirements of the “promotion” eventually and cash out. There is always the minority. If you are one of these people please let me know. There isn’t anyone I have spoken to yet though that has cashed out (there are millions of players out there though).

So why do they do the whole “free bankroll deal” promotion? Why do they advertise $30 No Deposit at “whatever the site is”? They do it so they can make money from your rake. The offer is only available to clients who haven’t been a member of “whatever site it is” before and sign up through their affiliate links. People get frustrated playing at low, low limits and eventually make deposits if they like the site and WALLA! The free bankroll provider is in the money! Of course the more you play the more they earn.

I have some advice on using these promos for your best interest if you really want to use them. Choose a site, choose a free bankroll AND deposit. Do this if you plan to play higher stakes just to take advantage of a little bit of extra cash (although if playing higher stakes this isn’t much money to you) and the deposit bonus that comes with it. You see; with deposit bonuses you need to earn points to claim them anyway.

Additionally you could of course play the low limit stakes, earn as much as you can for a bit of fun and eventually make the point’s quota if you do it within their sometimes impossible time qualifying timelines.

For the right person, these deals are not all bad. They are not for me though!

Building Your Bankroll With Online Poker Promotions

Building Your Bankroll With Online Poker Promotions

Whenever I go looking for a game of online poker on a poker site I have not played on, the first thing I check is the online poker rooms available promotions. Of course I ensure there is nothing too dodgy about the poker room’s background as I don’t want to join a room which may close and take my money; but mostly I go straight for the poker room’s promotions page.

Poker Online Promotions can add a substantial amount of money to your bankroll when selected and used wisely. The first promotion I look at is the sign up bonuses. Getting a good deal on a sign up bonus can double and even triple your bankroll. Some signup promos include free rolls for first depositors. Make sure you check on these also and ensure they are being played when YOU can play them! Living in Australia the 3am wakeups for tournaments can get annoying!

Many poker rooms also offer loyalty rewards, free entries into live tournament satellites, refer a friend programs and online stores where you can spend you loyalty reward points. It is very important that you look at all of these different promotions available and make sure you use them to your full advantage.

Let me show you just how much you can increase your bankroll from a $50 deposit.

Deposit $50 on a site where you receive a 100% signup bonus and you suddenly have $100 (this usually has conditions related to the amount of points you earn – the more you play the quicker it’s paid).

Refer a friend and have them successfully deposit and you may receive another $50.

Some sites offer up to 12 $1000 freerolls for new depositors win or place in a few of these and add maybe $300 to your account.

Summarised: for your $50 you now have $450 PLUS the tournament entry fees which would likely equate to another $60 making your total profit just from joining depositing and playing $460 give or take a few dollars – and that’s profit folks!

To look at this one step further at the same time you are playing you are earning points. These points also go towards tournament entries and merchandise purchases. With some online poker sites the promotions really don’t end! I do mean this too, with some offering free cash, VIP tourneys; monthly freerolls and Country related ones. Other things include raffle like cash wins and bad beat jackpots.

Now remember the above figures are just an example of what you CAN get and they have not taken into account the fact that some people may deposit $50 go to a cash table, spend their bankroll unwisely and use their $50 in one hand. Advice is NOT to do that!

All in all ensuring that you look closely at the online poker promotions available at all sites can be very profitable. Enjoy searching through some new sites available promos, don’t sit back and be ripped off, miss out and fall behind. Change rooms if your room doesn’t offer good promotions!
