Never mind. Math fail.
01-11-2011 , 09:03 AM
I'm usually around 3500, but I think it might be closer to 3K with my recent slackin
01-11-2011 , 09:14 AM
Carte Blanche is exactly same value as bonuses or did I miss something? Only that it's instant and no clearing needed. I'm sure it hits RB too. So why the **** don't they just have instant cash bonus and save resources auditing receipts and etc?
01-11-2011 , 09:16 AM
i'm averaging about 0.48 pt/hand @100nl Rush... so, 4x multiplier is like 180-200k hands/month

Same here. For the time that I hv each month to play poker, the only way I can get it to stick is to move up to NL400. Also not clear how it works if you hit 1.5k then drop below it. For the 500 one, I think you have 50 days to regain back status.

Kinda silly now that I think about it more. To get 3x, I need to average 45k a month which means I get an extra 45k FTPs each month. Value is <1BI.

I am.

Let me just calculate my rb real fast using nl200 as an example.

I pay 8448$ contributed rake per 100k hands.

Say I play 100k hands every month of the year. Thats a total of 101376$ (ugh).
I'll get back directly from my affiliate 27372$.
I get around 0.9 base points per hand, which with the 4x multiplier means 4,320,000 points.
I'll get 20 ironman plus medals 25 days a month + 400*6+500*6 standard medals (19-30 months into ironman) = grand total of 11400 medals, which i will convert into 570 000 points.
4,890,000 points = 22,227$*0.73= 16225$

[27372+16225+1200(midyear/yearend bonus)]/101376=44% rakeback
01-11-2011 , 10:10 AM
Nevermind..wow I thought it would be.higher than 44%....happy hour adds maybe 1% more over all your play id guess... maybe more
01-11-2011 , 10:13 AM
didnt forget, theyre in the final calculation. i think happy hour extras are negated by my overly optimistic medal expectations.
01-11-2011 , 10:16 AM
So even after rakeback FTP ends up taking 50k+/month from you for the privilege of playing on their site.
01-11-2011 , 10:22 AM
blah, 3k points is just too much for me to get now that school is starting (at 2400 now). Looks like I'm stuck with the 3x multiplier.

If he plays 1.2 million hands a month then yes, otherwise no. Reread calculation.
01-11-2011 , 11:14 AM
shippy da monies h2t!!!! WAR EAGLE! BROOM BABY!
01-11-2011 , 11:18 AM
is 43k rb for 1.2M hands comparable to stars non-sne volume(i think that is like 5-600k vpp range)?
01-11-2011 , 11:42 AM
for 600k vpps I came up with 50k in earnings. At my vpp rate so far this year 600k vpps would take 1,207,000 hands at 200nl but I am sure my vpp rate is alot higher than most since i start a lot of tables and play as much plo and ante tables as I can so ymmv. The games are a ton better at ftp tho so that 7k would probably be more than made up in winrate at ftp imo

Re: The blackcard concierge...Do we know if it would be possible to concierge our income tax payments? If come april 15th, i owe for example, $8500 to the Govn't, can i just get my accountant to make me a reciept and send that to FTP? My plan was to buy the 5k cash bonus, and use all of that to cover taxes, but clearing it $20 at a time is the gheyest thing i've ever heard of, and this way is much easier.

My FTP 100-day rolling average right now shows "0" when it was over 500 yesterday.

Glitch?
01-11-2011 , 12:04 PM
oh also my numbers assume you start at supernova if your starting from scratch the amount will be less

Just do what the stars guys do and buy prepaid credit cards to pay for this, then concierge the card.

Instant bonus FTW. I don't know why FTP just won't listen. It's quite easy to get a receipt from a relative / friend but why put us thru the hassle.
I can clear the bonuses easy enough but the small increments as les said is so gay.

Any idea how non USD transactions will be handled. Pretty sure FTP will screw us over for a few more bucks there.

It's pretty obvious why they don't do it, and to be honest, it's more beneficial for us if they aren't instantly cleared.
