aldric Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK I finished today 12-3' date=' though I'm still a little down on the week because of an awful run on Wednesday. I think I should restrict myself to about 10 a day: after that I find myself thinking "Why am I doing something so boring?" and my attention begins to wander. :lol[/quote'] A good end then mate, nice one.. I did notice you were down $100 so glad you got some back, although it is peanuts to you! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK I've got about another 100 points today. I won't be able to play any more today, but should be able to get a lot more tomorrow and/or Monday. Can I suggest that everybody posts their total points tomorrow morning, so we know how much we have left to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice going slapdash, you're well ahead of the rest of us it seems, appreciated. :clap I'm only on 202 poker points as of my latest updated statement, went to the Chelsea game today so not had the chance to play much but gonna get some game time in tonight. Im working tommorow day but will also have tommorow night and all day Monday to get as many points as I can, hopefully we can get there. :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlydaveLDN Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK I'm playing a bunch of $12DONs at the moment, will let you know how many points I get once the statement updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Got about 200 more points today. That gives us around 1850 (plus anything that hasn't yet been reported). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Let me just wait until they update my points around 1ish and I'll let you know what I have so far, still have all day tommorow to add to it, on around 280 in total for the week before my next update for todays play, hoping to hit 500 minium (maybe a few more) by end of play tommorow, do you think that will be enough? :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get 500 tomorrow + 300 between everyone else (not sure if AAHall and pistonbroke have any unreported pts) we should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK So long as we get 2000 this week, we can get the full bonus boost by getting 1000 each future week, so that's the important target (which it looks as though we'll meet comfortably). Any points above 2000 just make things easier for us in future weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Ok sounds as though we should be fine, I may get alot more points than the 500 quoted but just being safe as I should get atleast that. About next week I'm available most nights the only game I won't play is the Omaha as it won't turn out well for the team seen as I've never played, think we need to get a schedule organised by tommorow night so we each know where we stand?

Chapman Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Ok I'm on 448 points so will clear 500 no problem and probably more. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Hmm, I'm down 69 points due to 'weekly decay 15%', any idea what thats all about? :@ Ok still confused but I've just found this, the question is does it affect the total toward the challenge? Once your Discount Rate has been calculated, your Betfair Points balance is reduced by 15%. This is known as the Weekly Decay. If you continue to bet at the same level each week, your Discount Rate will remain unchanged. If your Betfair Points at any time imply a higher Discount Rate, you will move to that rate immediately.

The main use for Betfair points is that if you have enough then it reduces your commission rate when you bet on Betfair. But this doesn't last forever, so they "decay" each week, so that you have to keep earning them. I'm pretty sure GaF posted somewhere that it had been confirmed that for this challenge it's points earned that count, and "decay" won't be counted as reducing the total.

deadlydaveLDN Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Given that we only need 2k this week I probably won't go for loads today. Played some cash games last night, and will play some DoNs today though to make sure we get comfortably over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK Cheers slap, was hoping that would be the case. :) I'm still going to play some today but as Dave says, it looks like we are going to pass 2k with no problem and its not vital to get to 3k today then no need to go all out. :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Re: Betfair Challenge - Team LUK I think Capt just needs to be a central point who GaF can PM if anything needs sorting out, and who can then PM their team if necessary. So needs to be someone with PM facility and who's around most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
