Yes I'm aware of the UB cheating scandal, but you'd think that due to the scandal they would now be the cleanest site out there now being under the world's microscope and all. Anyhoo...in the last 2 weeks of playing (with a greatly improved upswing/winning mojo) Sng's on UB I've noticed that the average time for each game, 9-45 seaters, to finish on UB is far longer than FTP and I've seen just a fraction of 1/2 card outer bad beats that I would usually see on FTP. And before all you elitest/ "protectors"/ 24/7 posters jump up and down asking for proof, or my graph or tell me to whining etc etc...I'm not saying it's rigged I'm just posting a recent observation.
Is there a way to find out the average time limit for sit n go's on each site?
Ultimate Bet SnG levels - 10/12 minutes each, 1500 starting stack (up to $20, larger stacks for higher stakes)
Full Tilt SnG levels - 6 minutes each, 1500 starting stack
Ultimate Bet turbo SnG levels - 5 minutes each, 1500 starting stack
Full Tilt turbo SnG levels - 3 minutes each, 1500 starting stack
On top of that, blind structure is different at UB than FT.
UB blind structures.
FT blind structures.
There are formulas to use the blind structure and calculate the average finish times. One is to calculate which blind level will put the total chips at 30 big blinds, and multiply that by the level time. So for a 9-player with 1500 stacks, when the blinds get to 450 (closest level) that's probably the level it would end. So for FT that would put a non-turbo single-table at 66 to 72 minutes. That sounds about right. For UB the same game would be 100 to 110 minutes for 10 minute blinds and 120 to 132 minutes for 12 minute blinds.
