Ultimate Bet - Pros and Cons

tradenine · #1 08-05-2007, 02:56 AM

I'm thinking about signing up with Ultimate Bet, but I've read numerous comments on forums recently saying that UB has many flaws. I was wondering exactly what these flaws are, what people's general experience is with UB, and what the pros and cons are of using that site. Any information would be appreciated.

(I did not search this topic as I'd like to get a fresh/current analysis of this subject. I apologize if this thread is redundant.)

LOL good point. I like both rooms, bonus doesnt mean much since this is your first online experience you wont make it through 50$ of it. GL

Pros:

1)Their mtt structure is very good
2) Software is pretty good
3) Sngs and mtts are pretty soft (that's all I play on UB)
4) Rakeback and decent deposit bonuses.

Cons:

1) Not alot of traffic.
2) You can't resize the tables, although you can have miniview or whatever they call it.

I have heard its on the slow decline..not sure if this is true though but they have fewer pros now then they had 3yrs ago.

Still i think its a top 3 site

the best part of UB is their BJ and their fast software. The rest is pretty iffy. They changed the rb from dealt to contributed and reduced the amount of ub pts per hand, which really sucks. Their bonus money is worth nothing now.

Pros

Early to mid tournament structure in large entrant (800+)
Great tournament structure
Rematch button in HU, Challenge in HU (although no one knows how it works.)
LiveChat support

Cons

Pathetic FR Cash games, never over $1/2 now
More pathetic bonus dollars, I love getting sucked out of the $109 to get a pop up that I just cleared .85 in bonus money, yipeeeee
Horrible Sat program for large buy in tournaments
