View Full Version : Pokerstars VIP Store - buying the Porche

So I was doing the math on a bunch of items in the VIP catalog seeing how many FPPs/$$ things were worth. Most items are in the range of 60-64 FPPs/$$, with the fewer points needed to buy the most $s the better. But the porche (http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/cayman/cayman-s/), at 3000000 FPPs and costing around $60000 clocks in at only 50 FPPs / $!! This is a huge overlay on points / dollar at the store, I don't think anything else is even close. So kids lets start saving now for getting the porches - hurry before PS realizes their error and adjusts the cost.

So lets see, I earn about 30000 points per month, so this will take me 100 months. I guess I'll be getting the 2114 model.

This is very common when it comes to marketing. You offer a prize that everyone gets excited over seeing, but in reality, it's pretty much impossible to reach.

I wouldn't be surprised if Stars fully counted on buying a porsche some time this year.

If somone wanted too with the right bankroll, you could play 25 500+20 SNGs daily and reach well over 3,000,000 points within one year. At that level is 33% rb over the year.

30000 FPP a month is pretty week sauce. You can do <u>way</u> more then that.

You know even if it DOES take 10 years for a semi-active player getting 30000FPPS a month, that's still pretty good.. I mean if you're like a 19 or 20 year old trying to do this and have the patience not to spend the FPP's on WSOP or EPT trips, having a porsche before turning 30 is not too bad. Of course you wouldn't be able to afford the insurance but hey!
