Paradise Bonus - Who did you pick?

[Losing all]

I just got the email- tonight 8pm, $7500 added plus top 10 win a seat to the masters.

[MicroBob]

Yes...I got the e-mail as well.

I took the Eagles...not because I thought more people would take NE...but just because I thought the value in this game was with PHI.

I won a few bucks betting the Eagles at +7 as well.
I just didn't think NE -7 was a very good bet for this game.

[Losing all]

I thought the line was large as well, but I held off on any real bets (good thing too as I fell in love with the ML)

Hit the trifecta though, Phi on Paradise, NE on pokerroom, and a very important $5 from my dad.

Its currently listed under the tournaments as EAGLES. I believe starting time is 20:00 EST.

[MicroBob]

1700 players are in this.

Just roughly assuming that around 2000 picked the Pats that means that 3500-4000 players took advantage of the reload.

Interesting...because I kind of wondered how many people jump on these reload opportunities and how many people just don't bother with them.


I suspect that out of 1700 players registered for the freeroll we get at least 700 no-shows.
I might be one of them...depends on what I've got going on tonight.

Not exactly a huge prize-pool...but for free I guess I'm not complaining.
Top 10 get that entry to the Masters thing...which I think is a $600 entry.

Congratulations to all of you who chose the Eagles to win at +6 1/2.

While the Patriots may have won 24-21, they did NOT cover the +6 1/2 point spread.

As a result, you have been registered into tonight's private tournament that's set to start at 8pm EST. The name of the tournament will be EAGLES. Simply login to your account prior to 8pm EST and you will be automatically taken to your table once seating begins.

Paradise Poker has added $7,500 to the prize pool and will award the Top 10 players a seat into the Paradise Masters $1,000,000 tournament that's set to take place Sunday, March 6th at 3pm EST.

Good luck!

I picked Eagles because I know shlt about american football, and "patriot" has a bad ring to it.

[wbrumfiel]

I did this as well. I figured the Pats would win but I had a pretty good inkling it would be close and went with the Eagles on Paradise. Should be an interesting tourney.

[grouchie]

I didn't know you had to just cover the spread.
I thought the pats were gonna win (and put money down on it as well).
Then when I got the email saying I was entered into this nice free tourney it was quite the surprise for me.

I picked EAGLES at Paradise and PATRIOTS at PokerRoom so I got a double win:

Extra $100 bonus on PokerRoom and the freeroll on Paradise.
