Re: Party Monster Cash Conversion
For those of you happy with the Party conversion of Monster seats to $s, I respectfully disagree.
Unless I miscalculated, they held a LARGE portion of the $s back, since they calculated it based on 8,000 Grand Final seats. Since there were only 1,000 won so far, and only 10,000 monthly seats + some unknown # of weekly seats this was grossly unfair. What they paid 1,000 Grand Final x $1,800 = $1.8 Million 10,000 Monthly x $350 = $3.5 M ~10,000 Weekly x $100 = $1.0 M Total =$6.3 M paid (out of $14.5M pool) Here is a draft of the email I am planning on sending to vip@partypoker.com / info@partypoker.com / whatever emails anyone suggests, as well as following up with phone call(s) to VIP. If anyone thinks I'm off, please correct me. To: Whoever is in charge of distributing the PartyPoker Monster prize Pool Subject: Actual “fair value” calculation methodology for Monster seats Executive Summary: A large group of players in the 2+2 community agrees that the approximate “fair” expected value of Monster seat payouts are as follows below. Grand Finale (May 2007) seats value = ~$5,000 Monthly seats value = ~$750 Weekly seats value = ~$200 Please note that these estimates are based on final prize pool of $14.5 Million and 10,000 weekly Monster seats left outstanding. To the extent there are fewer weekly seats, these values would increase correspondingly. Detailed Calculation methodology: Let W$ = Weekly seat $ value M$= Monthly seat $ value GF$ = Grand Final seat $ value - 8,000 Monthly seats -> 1,000 Grand Final seats + $1 Million , therefore M$ = (GF$ x 1,000 + $1,000,000) / 8000 = 1/8 GF$ + $125 - 8,000 Weekly seats -> 2,000 Monthly seats + $100k, therefore W$ = (M$ x 2,000 + $100,000) / 8000 = 1/4 M$ + $12.50. - Substitute 1/8 GF $ + $125 for M$ into above and you get W$ = 1/4 (1/8 GF + $125) + $12.50 = 1/32 GF$ + $43.75 So to sum up values that we know: W$ = 1/32 GF$ + $137.50 M$ = 1/8 GF$ + $125 Total Prize Pool = ~$14.5 Million # of Grand Final seats outstanding / to be paid = 1,000 # of Monthly seats to be paid = 10,000 (9 weekly qualifiers x 2,000 – 8,000 for 1 monthly run) Weekly Seats outstanding / to be paid = ? Formula for total prize pool distributed should be: Total = Grand Final seats * GF$ + Monthly seats * M$ + Weekly Seats * W$ $14,500,000 = 1,000 * GF $ + 10,000 * (1/8 GF $ + $125) + WeeklySeats * (1/32 GF $ + $43.75) Solving for GF $, we get: $14,500,000 = GF$ * (1,000 + 1,250 + 1/32 WeeklySeats) + $1,250,000 + WeeklySeats * $43.75 $13,250,000 - WeeklySeats * $43.75 = GF $ * (2,250 + 1/32 * WeeklySeats) GF $ = ($13,250,000 - WeeklySeats * $43.75) / (2,250 + 1/32 * WeeklySeats) Final calculation Plugging in a value of WeeklySeats = 10,000 Grand Final seat value = ($13,250,000 - $875,000) / (2,250 + 10,000 / 32) = $5,000 Monthly seat value = $750 Weekly seat value = 200 If weekly seats outstanding are only 4,000, then we get Grand Final seat value = ($13,250,000 - $875,000) / (2,250 + 4,000 / 32) = $5,505 Monthly seat value = $813 Weekly seat value = $216 If weekly seats outstanding are 20,000, then we get Grand Final seat value = ($13,250,000 - $875,000) / (2,250 + 20,000 / 32) = $4,304 Monthly seat value = $663 Weekly seat value = $173 |

Quick hijack, but didn't want to start my own thread:
When does Party officially "shut its doors" to US customers? Is playing the Sunday Million this week still kosher? |

Re: Party Monster Cash Conversion
Why do you have to click "Convert Freeroll"? Why would anybody not convert unless converting means you agree with their calculations?

Re: Party Monster Cash Conversion
They gave me 10,000 Party points for a Party for Free monthly entry that I won, more than I expected. Can that be converted to cash? I guess if so not very much.
