Bonuses in equivalent of rake back

[igbr1]

Hi,
Does somebody know how to calculate difference between current bonus offer and its equivalent in rake back. I like gonzo's bonus grid. Is there sens to add rake equivalent to the current bonuses in this grid? I think it would help whores to make better choice. Any ideas?

Take the bonus amount and divide it by the rake generated clearing the bonus.

Doesn't it depend on how many times you win and how much you win?

I mean, if you never win, you never contribute to the rake.

No.

The rakeback you receive is MGR multiplied by the percentage your affiliate gives you.

Your MGR is calculated by the Rake/# of players dealt cards.

So if the rake is $2, and there are 8 players at the table, whether you folded or not, as long as you were dealt cards your MGR goes up by $2/8 = $0.25

If your rakeback deal was 20% you would get 5 cents back.

To find out if a certain bonus is better than rakeback you can always use your PT stats to figure out an approximate hourly rate for both. It isn't too difficult.

Check the BW forum where you asked the same question. If you ignore the rambling stuff I wrote at the top and skip to the bottom you'll get a possible answer to your question. I don't think the respondents for this thread are quite getting what you are asking.

In case they can think of something I didn't what he's trying to figure out it how to express bonuses in terms of % rakeback. It's been tossed around that PR skin bonuses are about 70% non-contributed rakeback at 10 pts per $1 for full ring games.

My suggestion was look at the BW chart, find a PR skin on the chart where you know you're getting 70% and then use the amounts per hour on the chart to go from there. So if PR is $5 an hour, a site that pays $10 an hour would be 140% rakeback. I know this isn't perfect but it's probably as close as someone can get. [edit] as close as you can get to an AVERAGE ESTIMATED rate that is.

And of course the first answer is really the only correct answer.

Sorry, I completely misread the post.
