GamesGrid.com- Is it worth your time?
 
I was wondering if the 1000% Deposit bonus and VeryFrequentPlayer program (at least 1.5 BB/hour if played at least 10 hrs) is worth doing despite the small game selection.
GamesGrid was originally a backgammon site or so I am told, so the players might be tougher than average.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you have a real hankering to play dealer's choice, GG is quite the waste of time. You can earn more in rakeback playing 4 tables than you can earn in their big bonus. I also think that their VFP program isn't 1.5 BB, it's 1.5 small bets. Double is you are playing whatever table they are pushing this month. Either way, it's prety much a waste. I played dealer's choice for a few months, then decided I actually would like to make money, so I stopped.

My only input is that GG staff must be [censored] sick of signing up fake accounts and posting stupid threads like this.

Watching grass grow has more EV than playing in those tight-arse games...

Smoking grass has even more +EV.

It was worth it under the old rules. Under the new rules (1.5 SB or as they liked to call it 3 small blinds) it is not.

To summarize:

EV[smoking grass] > EV[return on a wager that JJDylan will reply to a GG post] > EV[watching grass grow] > EV[playing on Games Grid for the $5k bonus]

Hopefully you will find this of some value when making your decision.

Thanks guys for your help.
I guess I should have used the search function to help myself.
To clarify neorab's point, how much EV would you expect from rakeback only(say 25% if that is possible) 4 tabling 3/6 or 5/10 for 2.5 hours- 10 total virtual hours.
I couldn't find this easily using the search function. Sorry!
Thanks again.

Albert
