Nice!
Full Tilt also deducts bonus(and more!) from MGR whereas UB only deducts 25% of bonus from MGR; so 27% vs. 30% is the least of FT's problems. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: andrew26 at December 29, 2006, 9:38 am | | Topic: Ultimate Points for Cash permanent? Forum: Bonus Whores | Today when I converted some points to cash, there was a checkbox for "convert points automatically from now on," so it appears that this promotion is at least semi-permanent.
Combined with RB and bonus, it makes UB actually playable, which is a good thing because I like the software and am enjoying the games, and was somewhat homeless after the AP thing.

Except UB has 1 or2 more slightly below average players than crypto. So in comparison to crypto the games on average are slightly better BUT im yet to find a 70-80%vpip 1-5%pfr 0.5af player on UB that you often get on crypto sites.
So Bodog/Pacific crazy noooooooo.
Somewhere between stars/crypto and party/paradise. IMO
at 1/2limit FR and 2/4FR.

| Posted by: roy at December 15, 2006, 4:57 am | | Topic: Ultimate Points for Cash permanent? Forum: Bonus Whores | | yesterday it seemed cray loose, but today it seemed tighter. i guess after another week i'll know for sure what its really like. i figure with points for cash, signup bonus, and rakeback, i pretty much can't lose in any low limit game. thats what i really like about bonuses. it lets you try out new sites without losing money in the process. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: redrocks at December 14, 2006, 11:20 pm | | Topic: Ultimate Points for Cash permanent? Forum: Bonus Whores | HA, if ABsolute is a rock garden, I'm loving it. And, if the UB merger will just make it looser, fine with me.
I just hope they stick with AB's bonus clearing and still allow rakeback. If not, OUCH! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: noidroid at December 14, 2006, 2:56 pm | | Topic: Ultimate Points for Cash permanent? Forum: Bonus Whores | ^^ I did some mining there last night and was pleasantly surprised at how wild the 1/2nl 6max tables were. I have rakeback that I've never really used, so I may have to start playing here more often if this promotion goes well.

Forum: Bonus Whores | | sweet, i'll wait til friday to start then. this promo definitely makes ub playable. absolute/ub merger? i have never played absolute, but have heard its a rock garden. the ub games i observed earlier looked crazy loose. i'm not sure that would be a good thing. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: elric at December 13, 2006, 5:36 pm | | Topic: Ultimate Points for Cash permanent? Forum: Bonus Whores | I better jump on this! I don't think I can clear my pending bonus before the promotion runs out... I seem to run out of money faster than I can clear the bonus for some strange reason?

Forum: Bonus Whores | looks like 1/2NL 6max tables will earn $5/hour if you put in 15-20 hours of 4-tabling per week with this promotion. Sounds good, I'll prolly start working on my $900ish pending next week.

Not to insult your intelligence, but have you checked: http://www.bonuswhores.com/ultimate-bet.php? There's a chart toward the bottom with the extra hourly rate when converting points.
Thanks, and when my intelligence needs to be insulted, I don't mind someone insulting it.
Upon further review, UB still isn't worth playing.
I can't imagine them being more playable than they are now under current circumstances...since the points are earned on top of bonuses.
Of course, the AP-UB merger is the wild card. Maybe all the UB bonuses will turn into 10x RH bonuses | | Static Link |
