Rob was asked about this payout post event
Amongst the comments he made were that
- "We paid 260 out of 2600. 50% players have won in for 55p or 5.50, so the min cash is lot to them"
In his blog he says that
"the average player had 1.7 attempts, so 1530 unique players took part. It's important to keep a track on the number of re-entries in relation to the number of flights, because the idea of giving plenty of online and live opportunities is not to boost the prizepool by increasing the average spend per head, but to increase the options for players to get involved. Of course, some Grand Prix fans played as many flights as they could, but in reality, must took a shot with just 1 bullet won through our 55p and £5 online feeder structure, which qualified over 50% of the total entries."
In essence its a grass roots poker event, paying 10% of the field and the min cash is a huge return for a fair proportion of the field emanating from those qualifying for very little"
Nice to see you again Suzanne/Richard
