Another beat: Their support and conversion rate

(From an email i sent them)

With regards to your query regarding the prize amounts. This was a table in GBP and you are correct in saying that with this promotion, 50% will be awarded to the qualifying losing hand and 25% will be awarded to the qualifying winning hand. Harr19057 won the amount for the qualifying losing hand and yourself for the qualifying winning hand. Leaving these amounts in GBP if the total prize pot for this bad beat was £1412.50 , giving harr19057 £706.25=50% and yourself $553.13 calculated by £1412.50 / 4= £353.12 which once converted into dollars is $553.

WTF????
