I honestly have no idea where to go next..

[hotsauce615]

I have my bankroll at 500, and have exhausted the following sites --- party,empire,bodog,paradise,riverbelle..

I dont know what to do now. Been playin 25NL and .5/1. Thanks for any advice. I made a similar post about this, but still havent figured out where my moneys going.

betfred

[hotsauce615]

two questions. How long would it take to clear 2500 hands? Is this site sketchy? Like do they ever mess with people when you need to cash.

[hotsauce615]

also, is this a skin of another site that might screw me?

[Canard]

I cleared the bonus in a couple of evenings three tabling 0.5/$1 and $1/$2. At those levels 3 betfred points = one raked hand, not sure if that holds for others two. Those games were pretty soft too, I was up $260 while clearing the bonus.

You have no worries wrt Betfred as a company. They are primarily a sportsbetting outfit here in the UK, with an expanding chain of betting shops (started off just based in North West England but seem to be moving outside the area now) and internet sportsbetting operation. It's a very well run company and well-established.

The customer service I've experienced in the shops or when using the online service has always been top notch and the cs for the poker operation has been getting rave reviews in other threads here.

It's on the same network as Noble Poker.

[hotsauce615]

ok great, i never played there. Are there any affiliate opportunities? Like rakeback, or signing up under someone and doing something like a 50/50.

With that bank roll you might want to start doing the bonuses at the prima sites like Pokerrewards, golder reviera, and others...(there are like 20)...Betfred was easier when the terms of the bonus were slacker...now they are a little tougher to clear at low limits...good luck anyway

I'm doing Doyle right now. It'll take me another 2 months to clear my 550 bonus.

[VielGeld]

Golden Riviera, crypto monthlies (interpoker, sun, will hill)

edit: since u're doing .5/1, i'd do the interpoker monthlies with blackjack, its much much much easier

[JOEL_]

you could try 100% rakeback

[hotsauce615]

anyone wanna split the betfred referal?

I'm currently clearing this at .5/1 full ring and if your definition of "soft" is $3 average pots then I guess you are right. At full ring about 35-40% of the pots are raked - probably less. I have cleared about 40% of the bonus and to get all 2500 raked hands I'm estimating in the 40 hour range. The bonus is OK simply for the fact that there aren't a lot of bonuses you can clear at .5/1 right now.

The 6 max tables clear much faster but I prefer full ring play.

I should add that I 3 or 4 table so the 40 hours to clear 2500 raked hands will obviously be much higher if you 2 table .5/1

[hotsauce615]

I just played one table for roughly an hour, and I cleared about 50 hands. However I can see how its pretty easy to 2 or 3 table, these games are pretty low risk, and the players arent so great. Even if it take 100 hours to do it like this, its fine for income. Thanks

[Canard]

Yeah I was playing 6 max, should have specified that, I haven't tried the full ring tables. Don't pay a lot of attention to average pot sizes, my defintion of soft is more a reflection of how beatable I perceived the opposition to be.

[WiSeIVIaN]

This is the easiest $50NL bonus to clear in the world since almostevery pot is raked. Crazy limit players, i tell ya. Took me like 10 hrs to clear and I love betfred CS....If only I still had a reason to play there....

[hotsauce615]

6-max is the way to go. The avergae moves to about 60ish an hour, and I think they're easier to win. Now if only I didnt have this laptop and was at home, cant multi on this.

[WLC4Ever]

Quick question, has anyone had problems getting bonuses at River Belle after clearing Bonuses at other Prima Skins? The T&C says you can't but I swear I've seen people say they could.

Yes you can. Ive done some of the Prima skins, and they dont seem to care. Lots of people over at bw.com has done it to, so no probs.

[WLC4Ever]

Cool, Prima is so soft at 6 Max, was hoping I could get this one. Thanks

[Dunkman]

Yeah the 6max tables are much much softer. If you are any good at playing shorthanded or NL I'd recommend that over the full ring games.
