UltimateBet Has Got To Be Kidding

George Rice · #1 09-15-2003, 07:21 PM

In an email they sent out today announcing more super satellites for their Aruba tournament, they upped the price to one trip per 80 buy-ins, from a previous 60. With the actual buy-in being $4,000 + $100, thats leaves $3900 for airfare and hotel. I could travel 1st class cheaper than that.

Seems to me if they can't do better than that they should award a seat for every 41 buy-ins and let the players make their own arrangements. Or possibly award a seat for 60 buy-ins and credit the players account with $1900 to apply towards their own arrangements.

In fact, they are kidding. It's all part of their new effort to be viewed as the "humorous" on-line poker site. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

UB - Where humorously everyone plays poker

Maybe there are only very luxurious hotel rooms left on Aruba.

After all, UB players already must occupy over 250 hotel rooms.

They also risk a little by guaranteeing seats.

But it surely seems a very steep increase.

I played in one of these one table sats last night, I used points, but I'm having a problem finding out where I sign-up for Friday's Super. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Not sure MSS, on a related theme, did you notice that the last aruba $100 super is scheduled for Saturday (although, as with Fridays, is not on the tourney tab yet) but they still have qualifiers into the supers on Sunday.
