The Quiet Man Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free It seems like an eternity ago that I regulary used to get in 1000 - 2000 raked hand each month at SO - now two weeks is not long enough for me to to get 100 raked hands!! :cry :cry The fcuking software will be crashing as per usual - $20 is not a big enough incentive for endless hours of frustration and rebooting!! :wall :wall I have a sneaky feeling that George will not be attempting this either! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free Just to be a pain in the :moon I have emailed sporting about this :tongue2 Damo :cheers **************************** Hello I understand you are running a promotion regarding a $20 bonus to your account if you play 100 raked hands between 6 march and 19 march - apparently this has been emailed to people (see below for a copy of the email that has been posted to a poker forum) Just wondering if this is only for certain people as I have not received this email, or whether it is for all players on Sporting? Look forward to your response Damian Screen Name: Robilaruk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free Out of curiosity, what exactly qualifies you for a raked hand on SO? I've looked all over their website but can't find an answer. I'm assuming it's pretty much any hand you're dealt whether you contribute or not and no ceiling on the table limits as I play the 0.5/0.1 and have somehow managed to accumulate 116 raked hands!

Hedonist Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free I had this email and the bottom paragraph read: *This offer is only available to those customers who received this e-mail directly from SportingOdds. Offer available during time specified only. It looks a good offer to me but I am not sure I fully understand the rake. You rake one hand every time - you pay to see the flop on a real cash table so if you are the big blind, see the flop and then fold that is one point? - you enter a real cash single table As soon as you sit down you get one point? or multi table tournament cost of the P L league is $1 + .10 that is worth 1 point? If the way I understand it is correct then I may give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rivers Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free yes even if you play on a 5 man 5c-10c table every 10c blind called and then folded counts as a raked hand. you can get the required amount in no time. and probably win $20 off the fish while you do it. i haven't had an e-mail though, i never do. maybe it's because i regularly get the $70 raked hands bonus each month. only had the $100 once though, 3000 raked takes a lot of commitment.

morlspin Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free yeh thats the way i understand it play the 5c/10c blinds, only play your BB and get your 100 hands for $15 this makes you $5 for the time? presuming you dont play a hand You could play premium hands and win more of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedonist Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free Thanks for the confirmation, I will start on Monday and see how it goes. I do not normally play ring games but it seems easy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free Just do give my view on this ..... I don't feel it's unreasonable for companies (including Poker Rooms) to target promotions to specific users .... you might not have this one, but you will probably get the next one and I won't .... all companies target promotions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free Hmmm I didn't, but then I'm still in the process of clearing the $100 new player bonus so that's probably why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free SO's cash tables are also of a horrendously bad standard - even I made a profit playing them to clear the bonus!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free I got it too im about 50 raked hands short of my $70 bonus played about 200 last week to get there , buggger ( cost me about $5 so i must be rubbish all on 5/10c table nearly lost will to live at times) adopted a completely new tatic, only take $2 to the table this way when some joker goes all in with rubbish and kills your trips with a runner runner flush you only loose $2 ish and call nearly everything, when you get to $4 quit to another table youre never gonna win shit though but you get the raked hands up think ill leave the rest until monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-ed- Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free When I tried to get raked hands when I was 10 short one night I found it real hard, think the pot has to be over a $1 and I was on 5c 10c tables so had to move up to get more rakes.

morlspin Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Sporting Odds $20 free How do you find out how many raked hands you have played? Any easy way or is it an email SO thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(DAN DAN) And thats how you get rakes on SO. Not like some one mentioned ealrlier by sitting on BB or calling and then folding (or something). Pot has to be over $1. It doesnt matter what tables. I always ring them to find out. Its free (08000 727727) and takes few minutes :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
