But, being exclusively a cash-game player and also not a native english-speaker, perhaps I did not quite get the meaning of "overlay" and/or your question.
Say a site hosts a $100,000 guranteed tourney with a buy in of $100+10. 500 people sign up, so the site has to contribute 45,000 to the tournament. This is obviously a negative cashflow situation for the site, as the payouts must still be the 100K. How is this factored into the revenue or flow through for a particular player.
I mean, if one were to join a site with $100 and place second in such a tournament, then the site's "revenue" would be largely in the red for that particular player. No?
I'm not too sure, but I would think that they'd take the overlay and consider that a "bonus". for your example, the player paid $100 but was given a $200 tournament ticket thereby a $100 bonus - $10 tourney fee, so they would lose $90 on each player. Whether or not you win prob has no effect on revenue. |
