Pokerstars $/FPP (chart inside)

For all those interested. I whipped up a little chart of FPP vs $ for PokerStars.


A few notes about this chart.
  • All prices are in Canadian $.
  • The last column is $/FPP in CENTS!
  • The chip set prices are from pokerchips.com
  • The prices of the xbox, wii, and ps3 are based off canadian msrp.
  • The concierge service is based of the minimum values they quoted (so this may be different depending on the value of the item you want)
  • For the 70FPP and 210FPP, the $ value is based of pure mathematics, not skill.
    So the 70FPP tourny is a 10 seat, 1 winner (thus 10% chance, so $11*0.10=$1.1)
    The 210FPP tourny is a 20 seat, 6 winner (thus 30% chance, so $11*0.30=$3.30)
    So to decide between the two should depend on skill. If you are good at tournies, but suck at HU or short handed play, pick the 210 FPP tournies. If you are good at the short handed play, but bad at the opening of a tourny, pick the 70FPP tourny since it becomes short handed very quickly.
  • I did not include the values for the other electronics, many of them are worth much less than 1.6 cents per FPP, so its not worth it! Just buy a gift card then get it from a local store! Not a single piece of electronics was worth more than 1.6 cents. The closest was the 20" monitor at 1.58 cents/FPP.
  • The value of the porsche was 85,000 which is the CAD value for the car. Note that in the US the value is much less, so the $/FPP may not be the same.

You list 250 for the cash value of the 1 million guaranteed ticket, but it should be 215.

thanks, I also noticed I put 3.33 for the value of the 210 FPP tourny but it should be 3.30. I'll edit the post is a few minutes with a new image.

edit: fixed now

It says all prices are in Canadian $ but the bonuses are in US $. Maybe make them all the same?

I thought about this, but I think its better this way since Stars gives you american money then it gets converted after. So if you got the $4k bonus, but your account was in cad it would be worth $4060 today, but who knows what it would be in a week right?
This way I can leave the chart the same, without having to change it everyday for the currency exchange :P
