"$1,000,000 Sit ‘n’ Go Challenge

Noble Poker is thrilled to announce its exciting new promotion - The Million Dollar Sit & Go Challenge..

The search is on to find the world’s best Sit & Go player!

The first player who wins 7 consecutive $10 Sit & Go tournaments will walk away with a cool million!

As with our other Jackpot Sit & Go tournaments, there are additional prizes to be won:

* Win 6 tournaments in a row and you’ll get $75,000!
* Win 5 consecutive tournaments and we’ll pay you $25,000
* Finish in one of the top 2 positions of this tournament 5 consecutive times and you’ll take an easy $300.

Noble Poker’s Jackpot Sit ‘n’ Go Concept:

Last month Noble Poker introduced its unique and exciting “Jackpot Sit & Go” concept, in which players can win huge jackpot prizes when playing Sit & Go tournaments. click here for more details about our existing Jackpot Sit & Go tournaments.

Our current Jackpot Sit ‘n’ Go tournaments (named “Maui” and “Rio”) offer initial Jackpot Prizes of $15,000 and $25,000. Both are progressive prizes and their sum increases as more players enter the tournaments.

On July 3rd Fresh3030, Doug Evenhus from Montana won an incredible jackpot prize of $18,500 after winning five consecutive $5 Sit ‘n’ Go tournaments in our Maui Promotion. In addition, Noble Poker will be taking Doug on a courtesy trip to Las Vegas to meet the Noble Poker team at the WSOP.

As a result of the extreme popularity of our Jackpot Sit ‘n’Go Tournaments, we’ve decided to expand this concept. Until today, we have been offering Jackpot prizes of $15,000 and $25,000. Now, we are taking this concept to the next level and are offering a Million Dollars!

Noble Poker’s Million Dollar S&G Challenge will commence on August 1st. In the mean time you can practice for the “main event” by playing at one of our existing Jackpot S&G Tournaments (“Maui” and “Rio”), each offering exciting jackpot prizes. .
See you at the tables!"

I really don't believe this? Just saw an ad today. Are they kidding? I just checked the odds of winning 7 in a row.

00.000001% how i figured .1x.1^7 correct?

I can't count zeros. You want (1e-1)^7=1e-7 or one in ten million. There was an earlier thread on this too.

they review the hhs. so there's no possibility of colluding really.

as for the original post, if this were OOT, there'd be a big pile of poop or something.

im thinking if you are an SNG pro (that is you play a lot of SNGs, not necessarily that youre amazingly good) and you play a ton a day, you might be able to score the 300$ prize for top 2 in 5 consecutive tourneys. looking over my last 1000 SNGs, ive done this 3 times. not a ton of money, but an extra 900$ for 1000 SNGs helps the ROI a smidge.

Someone figure out the math of getting in the top 2 in 5 straight 10s for 300$.

It's about one in one thousand. It's also a total waste of time and money in all cases.

Sounds like the whole thing is about the same as rakeback. Maybe better.

Since getting sng tracker I've played 500 games at $50 on Party with 20% ROI and I've won 5 in a row. I had a 4 in a row as well. The best streak I had was the 4 in a row, then a 2nd, then 1st, 7th,1st.

so 6 of 8.

almost

...except you can only get it by playing the 11's. It's a nice bonus for those who play the 11's. Maybe they'll offer this at other levels too.

It is possible. Just have like a ton of accounts to work with (from completely different people) and dump chips over the entire SNG and make it look like they lost it fair and square
