Yeah but I'm not going to buy in to the WSOP unless my BR is way up from current levels. All I'm asking for is 1/3 of the big MTT packages that the Elites get for half or 3/4 the VPPs.

Sounds rlly solid IMO. Not that many guys will get to 750k anyway, buts its a def. incentive.

But at least you agree that there might be a slight hole in the 500-750k, what I'm proposing isn't a big stretch, a 1k wcoop seat. Just something extra for these players that might not be able to reach the 1m and just come up short.

you do know that you get a lot of cash at all those milestones, right?
Wouldn't be opposed to ading a $1k WCOOP seat on top of all that though. Just making sure because when yo usay 'throw the players a bone' it sounds like you think they don't get anything.

If you use all your fpps for the concierge service beyond the 1 time bonuses. Would you come well on top vs using the $1500 SN bonus? Ty

[/ QUOTE ]


concierge = $3k for 180k FPP's.
SN points-for-cash = $1500 for 100k FPP's

concierge = 1.66 cents per FPP
Cash bonus = 1.5 cents per FPP

Over 10% improvement if you go the concierge route.


1-million VPP's will = 3.25 million FPP's
(after you spend 250k FPP's on the milestone bonuses)

At concierge = $53950
At points-for-cash = $48750


This is assuming they continue doing the points-for-cash thing beyond June, 2007. But they might pull it.


Anyway, if you are going to get 1-million VPP's then using the concierge service instead of points-for-cash is worth an extra $5200 in the end.

Can you actually get cash from the concierge service though?

[MicroBob]

no, you can't get cash.
Obviously that's the big drawback.

But for higher-end items it's obviously the better value.

And some people have gotten things like $3k gas-cards or something which they consider to be as good as cash since they are going to be buying gas anyway.


But I doubt the concierge service will pay my rent, electric and internet bills for a couple months.
And obviously cash does just fine for such stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]no, but you can get gift cards to nearly any place. Some people prefer this because its much easier to not pay taxes on a gift card(not saying I advocate this practice).

Think I can get health insurance through that concierge thing?

[MicroBob]

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if you could.

Not a half-bad idea to have them pay my Blue Cross via concierge. Might look into that.
