Are freeroll players morons or is their ATC play correct?

on intertops poker , they offer 'freeroll specials' 3 times a week that pay small to ~ 20% of the field . its actually easy to cash by not entering a single pot ! of course , you will only win a few pennies , but eventually you will have 80 cents , a buyin for the smallest no limit holdem ring game .for the patient , no deposit is ever necessary !

the 'regular' daily intertops freerolls reward 15 spots with tourney tickets . so its much harder to win , and then you have to cash in the real money tourney .
