i disagree firmly w above. the satellites are a cheap way for people who can't afford/wouldn't play an event otherwise to get in.
tl:dr: cliffs=vig on lammer sale is good and not scummy. sell to your friends dont harass people around the rio. if you dont have any friends you should be charged a vig because people have to tolerate you.
1. if you have to ask are they profitable, then they probably aren't for you.
2. if you'd like to gamble a bit at the wsop, and don't find these sit and go profitable but want action on them, you can find many players that will crossbook/take side action on satellites they are playing.
3. I play 20+ of these satellites every year for the last few years
4. there should be a vig on the sale of lammers. rio should discourage the selling of lammers. sure there are instances where u need to sell them (emergency need to leave town, derp i played a satty the night before my flight for fun but now im leaving ect), but they are designed to satellite into the the events, not grind for immediate profit. note mr rio charges 30$ on the 1030 sit and go. this is 1/3 of the normal rake of their tournaments. i believe on the smallest tournament they charge 9ish% but the buy in is very small
people that harass you in line while you're waiting to buy in are annoying and should be charged the largest vig possible for tolerating their presence.
5. a vig on the sale of lammers would make the satellites softer because the margin would be smaller, which would mean more players actually enter the events (and those entering would be of the softer variety event though they won the satellite)
