Default Re: PokerStars December TLB race!

In order for a 10% return to be unfair, wouldn't your expectation have to be greater than 10x buying (plus what they give you for expenses and lodging)? So for a 10k event, with say 1k in extra fees, your expected return would have to be $110,000 for it to be a break-even deal, right? I know that good players have a really high expectation in these big events, but expecting >900% ROI seems pretty absurd.

Am I completely off-base here? It seems like Stars is offering a pretty sweet staking deal for whoever wins this thing.

Anyone wanna guesstimate the 100th place tlb score?
Gonna be pretty hard for people who only play tourneys with buyins from $3-$5 rebuys and $10-$30 freezeouts (ie: me) to make the 100 without some pretty decent results

Yeah, sorry, McShove. I guess I wasn't clear on my actual question. I understand that 900% is unrealistic (to put it mildly). It looks like a 100%+ stake for just 10% of winnings is a fantastic deal, so I was wondering if there's some other aspect of the deal that makes it less valuable?
