Default Re: bonus or rakeback? FT reload bonus question

You don't get 27 cents of rakeback per full tilt point, FTP would lose money if you did. If everyone at a full ring table had rakeback they'd be paying out like $2+ per $1 raked.

I'm pretty sure FTP rakeback is determined by.... $ raked divided by # players, multiplied by your rakeback %.

So I got the numbers by:
Full Ring: $1/9 * .27 = .03 rakeback per $1 raked
6 max: $1/6 * .27 = .045 rakeback per $1 raked
HU: $1/2 * .27 = .135 rakeback per $1 raked

I'm almost positive you make more money from the bonus, but if you have any plans of playing past the clearing of the bonus, the rakeback account is obviously a better choice.

I shouldn't have worded it as money per point in my original post, I was just using that to compare it to the bonus, since $1 raked is equal to one point, but you don't get 27% of the money raked from the pot, only the rake that you pay (so rake divided by # players).
