i think they said it has to be a contested pot.

Why would it have to be contested? It is still a bet and it is still gambling, I'm still taking the risk. If nobody calls I WIN the hand but doesn't count towards rollover and if someone calls and I lose will SBR reimburse me the chips since it wouldn't have counted as a bet in SBR's eyes?

Kinda like a rollover in the sportsbook, if I place a bet and the outcome ends as a push, should the bet be counted towards that rollover? It is still a bet and there was a risk in losing and the initial bet shouldn't be judged after the fact.

The only way those bets shouldn't be counted is if there was a misdeal (ain't gonna happen online) or in the sportsbook if the game was postponed or enough of the game wasn't played to make it official.

Most poker rooms don't take a rake unless you see a flop, and the rake is what determines how fast you clear a bonus. The rake is equivalent to the vig at a sportsbook, so not sure how you're getting screwed any worse in a poker room.

Only good thing about the sportsbook and poker room being down for so long is that I'm actually accumulating points from postings and SBR trivia instead of just losing them all right away.

so whats the rollover requirement? anybody got a link?

SBR_John · 07-23-11, 07:02 PM

I miss the poker.

I thought it would be about now. But with everything tech related it just always takes longer.

In a few days when it does resume, the poker platform will be faster and stronger and we can build it much better.

how many times do u have to rollover your tourney winnings?

4uk4life · 07-23-11, 09:50 PM

I think the WSOP main event winner should have to rollover his winnings.

PlatinumBerg · 07-24-11, 12:08 AM

I look forward to the free tournaments again as well.

Thank You, I Will! I bet very rarely and will wait until it feels right. Will try to turn the 40 upwards.

i think this site is going to have to cater to the non-US market and they are trying to build in a fun poker client to draw in everybody.

BobHarvey · 07-25-11, 01:41 AM

He didn't. It was the same hand. He's saying he hit a flush and then someone hit a full house on the river, beating his hand.

Well, the WSOP ME has a 10k buy-in, while these tournaments are freerolls for SBR Pros.
