| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at December 15, 2005, 2:13 pm | | Topic: TOTALBET 3 Kings Promo Forum: Bonus Whores | Today was my day, apparently.
270 hands, got KsKc twice. Slowplayed them both to the river, to my opponent's irritations.
3 hands in on next site, get KsKc again, and flop the set. Woo-hoo! Thank you TotalBet/UKBetting! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Alphaunit1 at December 14, 2005, 5:21 pm | | Topic: TOTALBET 3 Kings Promo Forum: Bonus Whores | Yeah, the chances of getting any two specific cards as hole cards is always 1/1326. (Two Kings of the same color is the same as saying you need to get King of clubs AND King of spades, for example.) Getting the third King is another ~1/5 past that to the river.
If you DO get a qualifying hand, it would be VERY -EV to fold before the river. | | Static Link |

When I edited, forgot about the part saying "dending on date".
Even though it's ambiguous on the big bonus, I don't see them being more generous with that than the small bonus.

That's true, looking at the promo text (though it's unclear whether or not you have to have the "proper" color for the trips bonus, or just either pair of pocket colored kings) | | Static Link |

| Posted by: BigPoppa at December 13, 2005, 3:29 pm | | Topic: TOTALBET 3 Kings Promo Forum: Bonus Whores | Must play pound tables 1/2 or higher, no dollar or euro.
Chances of getting right color King as first pocket card dealt: 1/26
Chances of getting the only other King of same color: 1/51
Chances of both: 1/1326
edit to put math back where it was

.0015*5/45=.00017. so 17 out of 100,000 hands gets you 100 lbs. so 1.7 lbs/hr/table. so...4.7 lbs/hr/table overall at 6max. not bad.
just saw in the other thread, someone said it's twice as unlikely to get kk same color. if i'm wrong, bonus is half as good as i said. | | Static Link |

I've finished my monthly bonus at TotalBet now so I'm going on over to UKBetting to try again. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: syncmaster at December 13, 2005, 11:30 am | | Topic: TOTALBET 3 Kings Promo Forum: Bonus Whores | | I beleive on the sites T&C it said you can only make up to 2 claims.. If this is the case, you might want to not claim any £20 bonus untill you have finished playing there for the day.. Better to wait and try to clam 2 £100 bonuses. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: voxx at December 13, 2005, 11:15 am | | Topic: TOTALBET 3 Kings Promo Forum: Bonus Whores | They have just changed this promotion, you now get £20 for pocket Kings (they have to both be red or black depending on which day you play) and a massive £100 if you hit the third King during the hand.
I've had pocket red Kings twice today and managed to get trips with one of those hands!
Very profitable for me anyway.
Both TotalBet and UK Betting are running this now.
