Sportsbook.com poker offering +EV tourneys

Mike_Hunt · #1 01-30-2007, 07:24 PM

It's the new Paradise poker, or the old, however you look at it.

Their tourneys have bonus money, that adds up to more than the rake. So basically, about 30 percent of their tourneys are plus EV to play.

Just wondering how long they will be able to keep this up? They seem to be losing money every day.

Their Customer service is horrible. Thats why I stopped playing there.

Ahhhhhhhhh... I just started playing there, meh overall, but the value seems good.

Sportsbook.com is a Cake Poker skin now and has nothing to do with Paradise anymore.

Cake will, to my knowledge, at the very least continue to do those lower stakes added tourneys for a long time...bigger ones are coming up in the near future.

Sportsbook.com is one place though that will take all credit cards. Ive used like 6 different cards and they all work. They go through some third party so it always works.

They sent me a free money letter, which I cannot use becuase their *(#@!%^!@# website is poorly coded.

And I'm sure as [censored] not depositing until I get that thing to work and see what the games are like.

edit post-read: It's a Cake skin? Screw depositing then. Also, bad gateway on the free money redemption java applet. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I tried it out and it works. I think the minimum you will get is 20 bucks and the maximum is 250. I got 20.

I got something saying ALL my FPP's from Paradise were being honored there, that was the only reason I deposited.

So far, they haven't showed up. Anyone know about this?

Letter says deposit by 2/28/07 to get FPPs credited on 4/16/2007.

Edit: Success on another computer through a different ISP. I got nothing. How long is this [censored] supposed to take?
