OT (Wrong Forum): PP "Touchdown" Bonus

[tshort]

Details. (https://secure.partypoker.com/news/events/us_football_promo.html)

For next 8 weeks, starting today, you could earn $100 per week plus a share of $1,000,000 after 8 weeks.

The 30 points per day is easy (5 $33 SNGs). So, you would have to pay $75 in vig to make $100. Who knows how many people will pull this off for all 40 days? I would assume a share of the million could be anywhere from $250 - $1000.

Should we create an ongoing thread for people who want to discuss the answers to the daily questions?

I wonder what kind of questions they will be. I wonder if they will be google-able.

From Party's site:
"All you have to do is reach a minimum of 30 regular Party points on each promotion day (Tuesdays to Saturdays) and you'll be asked a question on the following day from 09:00 a.m. (ET) relating to NEXT Sunday/Monday night's games. "


My guess is they won't be googleable. /images/graemlins/blush.gif /images/graemlins/frown.gif

everything is google-able

Oh, I misread that. I thought it was like trivia. So you basically have to guess the winner of next Sunday? You realize that it will be extremely difficult to get all 40 questions correct.

Oh, sports betting. Why not just let us spin a wheel instead?

Btw, how many points do SNGs pay (at the 11s, 22s, and 33s)? I never keep track of that stuff.

Of course we could just wait to find out, but it's fun to speculate. I am about 99.9% sure it is not going to handicapping the games. Your first inclination, trivia, is probably a much better guess.

Me too. I think it'd be pretty cool if party had spent the last few months creating fake websites that gave the wrong info out. Then ask obscure, totally fake questions where you can only get the "answer" from their site. How many yards out was the field goal that Sammy Tull missed in the 1973 preseason game vs the Browns?

Man I'm bored.

Damn I thought this was free money if trivia.

i know that 22s and 33s both regularly pay 6 points each.

Yes. My guess is there will also be impossible questions like how many yards will Manning throw for or something crazy if anyone gets close. This is party after all, you really think they'll be giving this million away?

[FlyWf]

I would guess with like 80% accuracy that they'll be [censored] prop bets(who will score first, etc.), 20% that it'll just be picking against the line. Still, 30 a day is nothing and combined with the Santa thing should add up to decent rakeback. Do it all 8 weeks and you should end up with $100-$150, which ain't bad.

[Pat Southern]

Does anybody know if these bonuses be paid out of our MGR?

[PartySNGer]

I'm surprised they're offering this since you can do this and the Santa bonus without doing anything extra. Most ppl who care about this crap are already doing the Santa bonus so they won't get any extra play out of many people for this one.

[Davey]

The 11's are worth 3 points.

This is without a doubt the most convoluted, obtuse way to give <$100 back to the players. [censored] man, im still just figuring out "Satan's Party Pack"
/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I think questions will be yes/no prop bets on score,yards, etc.
So if i play ALL FIVE DAYS in a week, i have a 3% chance of winning $100? Even the $50 bucks for 4/5 is a longshot.

Geez Party, dont outdo yourselves giving out these bonuses.

oh, this might not be so stupid if the questions are better than 50/50s. Hope they are. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Well it may be trivia say it was $1,000,000 they gave away if only 10,000 players got ever question right would only be $100 a pop. However to answer five trivia questions right a week for $100 bonus a week seems pretty easy to for a simple 30 party points. Guess we will soon find out.
