If you make $45/hour you should be able to figure this out yourself.

That $7500 is not an entirely riskless investment. What if Empire decides your play is suspicious and does not honor your Epoints? Give it a try and let us know how it went, thanks.

Those who are saying, "Why would you risk trying it?" are not looking at the post.

The numbers are so incorrect it's silly.


Will round-off some of the numbers just for simplicity because I just woke up from a long nap.

600 SNG's (10+1) = 1200 points

This is 1 point for each dollar of ENTRY-FEE...doubled if you already have 5k points (points are doubled if you are VIP.


why you are squaring this number to get some astronomical figure I have no idea....but points earned from SNG's are NOT squared.
Also, when you play a 10+1 SNG you get 1 point....not 11.


So....600 SNG's of 10+1 = 1200 points

50 multi's (if you can get in that many) = 5000 points

(50 X 50 = 2500....doubled is 5000)

EF's from the 50 multi's is probably another 300 points perhaps


6500 points in one day.

Yippee.
You wasted $6700 to get $65 in cash-back.
Nice job.

What about the off chance that you actually win the tourney (since you're playing so many)? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Op's numbers seem correct to me. The scam is to take advantage of Empire's formula of squaring MTT entries.

50 X 50 = 2500 x 2 = 5000
1000 x 1000 = 1000000 x 2 = 2000000
1000 10+1 MTT's = $11000 (I'm assuming those 2/3 table MTT counts...don't know)
2000000 / 100 = $20000 Epoints cashback

edit: I just reread you post Bob and you said SNG's don't count

Right, the assumption that is being made (and seems potentially questionable) is that mult table SNG's count as MTT's for the sake of the 2x^2 e-points.

I believe that 2-3 table SNG's count as SNG's.

I have never checked though.

The web-page that details the formula has not been updated since they added those 2-3 table SNG's.....I was just assuming that they are SNG's since they were under that heading.

I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to confirm one way or another which they are.


If they really do count as MTT's (which I doubt) then
600 of these in a day would indeed be 720000 points or so.

The web page that shows the VIP point payout refers to SNGs thusly:

"PARTICIPATION IN "SIT AND GO" TOURNAMENTS (Multi and Single):
for every $2 you pay the house to enter a single-table tournament, you will be awarded 1 EPoint."

Emphasis mine. Sounds like they don't count them as MTTs.
