Noble Poker is offering $15,000 to anyone who can win five $5.50 Maui SNG's in a row. Im not sure about the math on winning five 10 person SNG's in a row but 15k sounds like an amazing payout. Another great thing about this is the fact that nothing is being raked from the pot. The payouts are similar to any other $5 SNG. Noble is also offering $200 if you can get five consecutive 1st or 2nd place finishes. What does everyone think of this offer, worth pursuing? What do you guys think are the odds of this?

Odds of winning five in a row for an excellent player is probably somewhere on the order of 1/5 to the fifth power.

If my math is right that is 1/3125.

I think the odds of getting first or second is 2/5 to the fifth power for an excellent player. Is that about 1% or so?

As for whether its worth it or not, I say why not try if you play that level anyways. I used to play some sit and gos but rarely play any now but I know I have won three in a row and I may have won four in a row but I can't remember.

I am pretty certain I have finished in the top two 5 times in a row.
