urban legend actually.

They have a higher rake that exactly corrosponds with the higher amount you are betting.

When you hit the £5 mark you are raked £0.25. £5 = $8.5 and £0.25 = $0.42. Which is exactly what you are raked in the dollar game at the 8.50 mark.

THE ONLY time there is more rake is if you hit the the £80 area because the MAX rake is £3 which is more then $3. But in simulations you are only losing 0.08BB/100.

The pound tables are WAY WAY better then the $ tables - or used to be!

I stopped playing Crypto a few months ago so perhaps they changed - the £ USE to be much looser.

There are much better European sites out there now.

Nobody will read this, so I don't know why I'm bumping it, but I just realized that this is not actually an urban legend, but rather a miscommunication. When people say you pay more rake at the £ tables, they don't mean you pay a higher percentage per hand. They mean you pay more in total.

Each $/£1 in rake that you pay earns you 1 MPP. You need 200 MPPs for most Crypto bonuses nowadays and the bonus amount is always the same, regardless of what currency you play in. So which amount of rake would you rather contribute to in order to get it, $200 or £200? That's the logic behind it.

This is something you need to do for each session or you enter one exchange rate and it is used for you whole db?

The rate changes daily so you need to do it once a day.
