Gutsy;231025 wroteForgive my ignorance, but what's wrong with the Futureshop gift certificates?!
I was bored so I thought I'd take a look:
$250 gift cert = 16700fpp = 1.5 cents/point
280 FPP hyperturbos -- average player wins $11 2/6 times and recycles 1/6 times (plus they are fun to play 6 at a time but I guess that doesn't factor into the calculations):
so each 280 FPP entry = 2/6 * 11 + (1/6 * 2/6 * 11) = 428 cents = 1.53 cents/point
I guess they are about the same, but the hyperturbos are more fun than getting a bit of money in the mail and all the money stays in my Stars account for now.
each 5400 FPP entry = 4/10 * 215 = 8600 cents = 1.59 cents per point
So not much difference anywhere and banging the hypers is super fun (that's what she said) since I don't play much holdem at all anymore and has much less variance than playing the 5400s.
