A way to potentially get 100%+ rakeback with Stars VIP

[DaveyG013]

I'm looking at the SnG's with the pros that they have. 15,000 FPP's. This is the payout structure...

First place: $1000
Second place: $500
Third place: $300
Fourth place: $200
Bounty on the champ: $250


If I did the math right, to get 15,000 FPPs at PlatinumStar will cost $1200 in tourney fees (5 FPPs/$1 in fees X 2.5). At Supernova, it's only $857 (5 FPPs/$1 in fees X 3.5).

So, just for cashing you are looking at 16% rakeback at Platinum and 23% at Supernova. Then, the best case scenario is winning and taking out the pro. That is 104% at Platinum and a whopping 146% at Supernova.

Okay, so there is potential to make nothing of course. But is there any other item they offer where it is possible to get this much value?

In summary, if you can at least beat 6 players in a SnG (I believe they are 10 handed) or just bust a pro, this is your range of CASH rakeback:

Platinum: 16-104%
Supernova: 23-146%

Does this all sound right?

By winning every tourney I play I get like 40,000% rakeback.

I did say potentially. Well, let's say you want 30% rakeback. That's better than the cash value (not actual cash) I've seen you can get out of anything else in the store. At SuperNova, what do you need to do over 5 of these to get 30%?

5 tournies X $857 = $4285
30% rakeback = $1285.50

A really good SnG player should be able to cash enough, plus throw in a bounty or two, to easily make that 30% rakeback.

The value of the SNG is $225 per player. By your calculations that is 19% rakeback at platinum and 26% at supernova.

Don't forget to subtract out the value of the time you have to invest in the tournament. That's time you could otherwise be using to play whatever you normally play.
