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).

Estimate:


I'd say at least $8,000 per hour or $192,000 per day, or $70,080,000 per year.

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
