Simon - I do play on other sites... It's just that Stars has BY FAR the most freeroll tournies and it's possible to transfer amounts as low as 1 cent - so it's the obvious choice for trying this kinda thing out.
I will be playing the Weekly Round 2 at 7pm my time (6pm BankrollMob time) which has a top prize of around $300... I will also play the BankrollMob freerolls at 4pm and 6pm (3pm and 5pm), the BonusBonusBonus Freeroll at 5pm (4pm) as well as the PokerSchool one at 6pm (5pm). I will start playing the Round 2 satellites again tomorrow and will stop playing them when/if I have 2 entries - enough to play next Saturday & Sunday - then there would be no point in playing more.
...and seeing as I haven't technically won anything yet, I will add 'Miloshbree' to the list.
So....

Will each receive 6% of any of my freeroll winnings for the rest of the month. I will transfer funds to players PokerStars accounts on October 1st (in the hopeful assumption that there is something to transfer)
------------ I will also be playing the GipsyTeam WCOOP-47 Freeroll, where 1st place out of 1,000 wins entry to WCOOP-47 - a $265 Turbo Knockout...
In the (admittedly unlikely) event of me qualifying.... again, I will offer a share of the target tourney the same as if it was a freeroll.

For this month, I will only play freerolls. Hopefully, from the start of October, I will be playing real money Scheduled Multi-Table Tournies through backing on chipmeup.... that's the plan anyway. I won't spend a cent of any winnings on tournies this month.
Guess I'll just see how it goes.

Next tourney in little over half hour. I will be out, so I may not be able to post any updates until later, but do feel free to watch if you're interested how I'm doing

Well, firstly I'd like to point out that attaining exactly the same results I have got in tournies that were not freerolls with incredibly tight pay structures, would have resulted in a decent profit - so it's a bit unfair to criticise the results - especially after ONE day...
Secondly, if you had understood my original post, you would know that the potential profits here aren't what's important. I am merely promoting the idea of community poker.. While doing something that's fun and a little quirky.... With the added benefit of the possibility of a few cents reward.
I'm also using it as an experiment to see if other people taking an interest in, and you knowing your performance is linked to other peoples success or failure, has any impact on your results.
The philosophies of poker are just as important as the rules and techniques. Any opportunity to learn something new about the game should never be passed up on.

------------ ...Looking good for 2 Weekly Round 2 entries.
64 more people to go in the razz tourney, and less than 300 in the NL Hold'em..... big stack in both...
------------ Kepler's FL Razz Freeroll Entrants: 4220 Top 64 qualify for Weekly Round 2 Finished: 28th ..... won entry to Weekly Round 2
72 more to go in Hubble's NL Hold'em - if I qualify from this one too, I will have no need to play any more Weekly Round 2 satellites. So I will play some freerolls on Unibet too and any prizes won from these will be added to the prize pool.... All money will be paid out via PokerStars transfer as it's not available on Unibet.

Thanks a lot mate..... I really couldn't care less about people complaining. I've explained what and why I'm doing.... so anyone who thinks 'it's a waste of time'.... is just wrong. As for the 'password hunting' bit..... I'll do anything I can for a chance at free money - I don't usually play those tournies, but I'm going out of my way to be as sure as possible of actually being able to give something to my 'stakers'.
My name on Unibet is YoutBRM... and from tomorrow, I will be playing some BankrollMob tournies and as many of their freerolls as I can.
.....just 6 more people to go in the Hubble's now, then I'm done for the night.
