Message: [QUOTE="HoldemChamp, post: 367451, member: 2813"] Another Update. World Poker Exchange now offers a $50 FPP (Frequent Player Points) freeroll. It costs 100 FPP to enter. That is better than the 1000 FPP it costs to enter the $500 FPP freeroll. Well, actually it is about the same I suppose. 10x and many points for 10x the payout. Bottom prize is $1.75 for the 100 FPP and $17.50 for the 1000 FPP freeroll. $15 for top on the 100 and $150 for top on the 1000 FPP freeroll. The problem for play money as well as real money players, You only earn points if you call the flop. In the case of the play money player 1/300 of a point for every flop you call. The bigger problem for the for the play money players. It would take 30,000 hands seeing the flop for everyone of those hands to earn your 100 FPP to be able to join the 100 FP freeroll. BTW, you are only permitted to earn 5 points a day for play money tables. You would have to see 1500 hands to get all those 5 points. So assume you could play 100 hands per hour. That is saying a lot because remember you don't get any credit for hands folded preflop. Assume you call every hand and get the 100 hands per hour. 3 hours would net you all of 1 point. It would take you 300 hours to earn enough points just to buy into the $50 FPP freeroll. The point system structure is awful for either the play money or real money players. Probably one of the worst point systems in the industry. Think about Jetset. 50 hands one point. 25,000 hands would get you into there weekly $500 main event. Bottom prize is $1.60 and the top prize $125. But, you can pay 40 points to get a chance at 9 seats which would only be 2000 hands or 80 points for a chance at 18 seats. Plus as long as you are not sitting out each hand counts as 1/50 of a point. Much more advantagous to go with jetset. [/QUOTE]
