View Full Version : how much is paradise making
has anyone done a rough calculation? i have a feeling they are probably more profitable than amazon.com. ;-)
100's of thousands per day - probably more
I'm more profitable than Amazon.com!
I'm sure most businesses are more profitable than Amazon.com. (their most recent quarter, at least).

whoever behine paradise poker is probably filthy rich hiding somewhere on the island of costa rica...
Costa Rica is not island.
You are over-evaluating as there is not generaly 3 20/40 games going. Right now there is only 1 with 4 players, avrg pot $220, 120+ hand/hr.
Not to say that paradise does not make a bucke load of $$.

Consider this. My estimates didn't include any omaha tables, any stud tables, or any 1-1 tables. All I accounted for was HE and Tourney tables...
Right now (Sunday 8:52AM CST) there are 108 active tables, 56 of them play tables. That leaves 52 active real money tables. Consider an average rake of $1.50 and an average of say 60 hands per hour.
52 * 60 * 1.50 = $4680 rake per hour and there are 0 tournaments running because of the time. Last night when I made my initial estimates there were over 225 active tables.
So maybe their average over the entire week is something like $5000 rake per hour and my figures were a tad high. They're still making more money in one day than most posters here make in a year.
Since at least 50% of players are bots you should cut your estimate in half!
aaah! but they have to pay three techies and a telephonist so it's not all profit
.....and why would he be hiding??
No, they are hiding in Bensonhurst & Little Italy
