I just looked and you are right, they are 500 tokens now. I hope people bought a ticket at 50, if they aren't doing the challenges.

At 50 tokens ($0.50 value) tickets were excellent value as a min cash is probably going to be $2 with 1/3rd of the field paid and a chance for more if you make it past the bubble. At 500 tokens ($5 value), not so much.

Or you could deposit $60 for a "free" ticket

Deposit, get ticket, withdraw? [emoji6]

Even that would be a losing proposition. I don't know about other countries, but here in Canada the difference between the exchange rates for deposits vs. withdrawals at 888 would mean you lose 5% to 10% if you deposit then withdraw. It's one of the reasons I avoid depositing, especially as the exchange rate gets worse.

Yah It is a loosing way for any client of 888. 888 exchange rate is so weird that we are sure going to loose 8% on currency conversion.

Hi.
Yesterday, I played in this tournament. I managed to win $ 2.4. But, I noticed that playing at lunch time is better than in the evening, as the chances of getting prizes increase.
Good luck.

orsino12 · Dec 23, 2018

I just now noticed that if you win free tickets on the spin like Big Fish or BLAST that they count towards the challenge of playing $20 worth of tourneys to earn a $20k ticket.
I played a $1 BLAST ticket I had last night and when I just checked my challenges it shows as 1/20 complete.

So if anyone gets, and uses, a $16.50 or $33 Big Fish ticket a ticket s either very easy to get or already earned.

Anyone playing in the 20K Ice cold free roll in a couple of hours?

Tips on making sure I cash in?

Yeah. Don't be goaded into all-ins against unknown players (not involved in the previous hand) or those who lost a lot of chips in the previous hand. You have been warned.

A bit of luck in bingo

cmsander · Dec 23, 2018

Congrats! I think I made 30 cents in the same tourney!

orsino12 · Dec 23, 2018

Well, I min cashed for $2.00 by the skin of my teeth, I finished 2783 out of 2812 spots paid.

moots · Dec 23, 2018

I was sitting out for the first 25 minutes and just shoved with 700 chips left but managed a min cash too.

Congrats. It is a great result. Keep it up.

Brandlad · Dec 23, 2018

I did cash $4 in 20k tourney. Let me see what happens next week.

Brandlad · Dec 25, 2018

I tried to win 20k ticket for this series and I went to play 2-5 cents cash game. I lost $4 where my straight got beaten by Full house twice. Well I have completed 42 hands and 8 hands still away from that 20k ticket.

Ricey155 · Dec 25, 2018

I agree with this statement,sadly then we all start going crazy bingo to combat the crazy bingo players. too many good hands folded to k5O smashing all in and then you call and get burned.

I considered trying to get a ticket from cash games, but I know I'm weak in those. I might have given it a shot at PLO Hi/Lo as I think you get credit for the win by winning either the high or low, but there's never anyone on those tables and you need 4 minimum.

I'm actually 11.1/20 on the tournament challenge as I used $9.50 worth of tournament tickets, the rest was from $0.10 BLAST games and a $1 tourney I entered.
I haven't decided if I should go for the other $8.90 in tourneys yet. I'm hoping I can win another $5.50 Big Fish ticket (or better) from the spin, which would make it easy.

finally i have time to spend these tickets

Wow, thats very impressive to go that deep in the hyper-turbo bingofest!! Congrats on the nice payout!!

I have won now 2 20k Ice Cold Freeroll tickets from the Spin Wheel. Considering the tickets are worth 500 tokens, this is a pretty good prize to spin.

orsino12 · Dec 25, 2018

Making progress. I've played 45 $0.10 BLAST games and only lost $0.25 so far. I just need to play 44 more over the next few days, less if I hit any tickets on the Spin.

Brandlad · Dec 25, 2018

I am just getting $3000 tickets but my pairs are getting cracked on the river. I think I should play like morons in these ST games.

orsino12 · Dec 25, 2018

What a marathon session. I played 89 $0.10 BLAST games to complete the challenge to get my $20k Ticket.
Unbelievably streaky game, I had 1 stretch where I didn't cash in 11 straight games and another streak where I cashed in 8 in a row (6 wins). At my peak I was actually up over $2, but in the end I finished +$0.08. Lucky I had 5x $1 spins, 3 more than the odds say I should have hit. Nothing bigger than $1 though.

At least I have my ticket.

Congrats pal for your ticket and for your Marathon session.

When do you sleep?? Are you a Nocturnal ??

Though It is a freeroll but because of prize pool and game structure just one big run will put you very good in the money...

Best of luck for the game.

Those games are fast, but they were still spread out over 6 hours from the morning to early afternoon.
Luckily there was literally nothing else to do yesterday, everything was closed and we had the big family roast dinner the day before.

vic75 · Dec 26, 2018

The best way to get the 20K freeroll ticket is to play the .10 blast games it will most likely be a break even result after two hundred games.
