    Hi guys,

    This is basically just the last tournament of the schedule. Significant only as the prize is a bit more.

    You're really gunning for the cash prizes or betpoints associated with the Triathlon Championship.

    Also yes, Pro only.

    this is bizarre, those that worked so hard for so long now find out that they can lose their status in one game

    looks like it all depends on this one game, winner take all I suppose

    Of course, How much more fuk'in ridiculous could it be that you play in a 3 month long tournament only to have some lucky fuk beat you out of all your hard work in a single daily with huge payouts! Yeah, and lets not forget a fuk'in 7,000 pt. total rollover for the winner.

    Hell yea Sweep this is the first contest I have played here and it did nothing for me. I could have went "pro" and had a chance didnt do that bad. The point is that they fukn cater if you give them $? show some fukn incentive and everyone or most will otherwise. Get fukd

    Bought a blackjack book, I'm pretty decent at math and memory skills, so we'll see how it goes. Book cost $20, so if things go astray at the Poker Final and Blackjack, I might actually end up losing money despite finishing 2nd in Hoops and anywhere between 1st-3rd in the daily poker tournaments.

    And the way they skew the poker. 2500 for the winner? WTF. It's ok to award the winner of the finale, but to skew the grand scheme of the triathlon, is ******.

    No need to buy a book for blackjack strategy as there is also a lot of good info on playing blackjack around the internet. Something to keep in mind; there is not that much difference edgewise, between the more complex and the best of the solid and simpler to use systems.

    In order to make it more interesting and exciting, they want as many contestants as possible to have a mathamatical chance to win heading into the last weekend. The best thing we can do is play our "A" game in the poker final, and spend some time on blackjack strategy.

    the biggest key is not to play good strategy but to click very fast and get a lot of blackjacks
