Default Completely OT: Stars makes a lot of money...

Got to thinking about how much money Stars makes.

For just the WCOOP main events and 2nd chance tourneys, they made $1.3 million in rake.



This doesn't include sats - I'd think they raked in an additional Million from WCOOP sats alone...

I'm in the wrong business...

OK - continue with actual poker related discussions now. Sorry for the OT post.

Okay, so $300K for the main event... what if they ran the main event 3x a day every day of the year? That's like $900K a day. 365*900K = 330 million or so. Just from the same tournament over and over.

I've stumbled on something here. http://www.wcoopmaineventpoker3xeveryday.com coming soon.

Seriously though, that's interesting to look at. Stars makes a lot.

Amazing! It's almost as if businesses exist to make profit or something!
