In The Money Rules Promotion Name: In The Money
Promotion Dates: 00:00 ET on Monday, February 3rd, 2014 – 23:59 ET on Sunday, February 9th, 2014.
Players who cash in a number of Sit & Go tournaments (defined by game speed and buy-in) will be awarded an In The Money Flip Freeroll Ticket.
Number of cashes necessary to be awarded an In The Money Flip Freeroll Ticket:
3 x Normal Sit & Gos 4 x Turbo Sit & Gos 6 x Super Turbo Sit & Gos Players must cash in the required number of Sit & Gos at the same speed and buy-in level. For example, to earn a $20 In The Money Flip Freeroll Ticket, you must cash in three Normal $20 Sit & Gos, four $20 Turbo Sit & Gos or six $20 Super Turbo Sit & Gos. Win the $20 In The Money Flip Freeroll and you will be rewarded with a $20 Sit & Go Tournament Ticket.
In The Money Flip Freeroll Tickets will be awarded to qualifying players within one hour.
"Each In The Money Flip Freeroll will be a 9-player No Limit Hold ‘em Flip Sit & Go Tournament. The winner of each freeroll will receive a Tournament Ticket equal to the buy-in of the Sit & Gos played in to win entry to the In The Money Flip Freeroll. In The Money Flip Freeroll tickets will be awarded to players that cash in the required number of all qualifying 6- to 27-player Sit & Go tournaments up to those with a buy-in of $60. Players that cash in the required number of Sit & Gos with a buy-in of $60 or higher will receive entry to the $60+ In The Money Flip Freeroll. For example, cash in two $115 Turbo Sit & Gos and two $215 Turbo Sit & Gos and you will receive a $60 In The Money Flip Freeroll Ticket. Tickets will be awarded based on the speed of the Sit & Gos played. The winner of the $60+ In The Money Flip Freeroll will receive a $60 Sit & Go Tournament Ticket."
And thats where I lost da track. I do not understand this promotion.
At all.
You play to win a ticket and thats qualify you to play to win another ticket? This is some sneaky promo.

ur not the only one bowie, i was about to mention it when i first read it but even now, after reading it 2nd time i have no clue whats this promo about
you win a ticket for flip freerolls to win another ticket for freerolls, to be able to win something else, maybe?
and its too expensive for newbies like me anyways, i stopped paying attention after they said 6x20$ sngs

how I understand it is that for every 3 ITM results from SNGs you will get ticket into flip freeroll. There will be more flip freerolls depending on which buying did you played in those SNGs. For example you played SNGs with 1.10 buyin so you will get ticket into "1.10 In The Money flip freeroll". I bet that higher buyin you played - higher prizepool in that freeroll will be.
And there is just second option, if you dont want to play in those flip freeroll you can exchange tickets for regular SNGs ticket. That means if you got ticket for 1.10 ITM flip freerol you can change it for standard 1.10 SNG ticket.
I think its great promotion for regs on FT. The will get MANY of those tickets, but me personally I will not start to grind there just because of this promotion

now it makes a bit more sense, but reading through all that is a pain and they could make it a bit less complicated
i mean basically, this would be better explanation and while it doesnt look pretty, it actually explains stuff
- u play sngs - u get itm (3x for normal, 4x turbo or 6x hyper) - u get flip freerolls ticket, that you can use to play freeroll or exchange for same value sng ticket
but its easier said than done because i like turtles and i bet the guy who did this promo doesnt like turtles. So im not surprised someone who doesnt like turtles made this promo terms so confusing, it happens all the time to turtle haters
See: 1. You are a recreational player and play for example 100 turbo 2,25$ SNG tournaments in that week 2. You are a very solid winning player at these stakes and you are ITM 40% of the time 3. You get 10 tickets to flip freeroll - you can exchange them for one 2,25$ ticket right away or take the flip (there is aproximately the same value in both oprions) 4. for 20$ rake you get 2,25$ (=11% rakeback)
There used to be better promotions on full tilt...

I already said its a sneaky promo. Every non hobby sng grinder could benefit from this but I doubt they are in need for these kinda promotions. If they want to up the traffic in the sng tables by driving there the recreational players in larger chucks they surely could do more than this.

WOW...... I'm not sure given the time of day and the way I am feeling that having read this that I feel able to even find the FTP link on my PC to even head over there to have a look at this, so will concentrate on something else for the weekend!

all promotions that leave you scratching your head saying "what the fcuk are they offering here" are a real bullsh1t. promos should be and also sound easy, here's an example: "play any sng and get a free left ball shaving procedure at your local ball shaving center"... "play 2 sng's and get a bullsh1t massage in your local spa (yep you will be covered in bullsh1t for free!!!)"

I am particularly interested in the ball shaving offer as my gf left me after only shaving one of mine. I know it's silly but I look ever so lopsided and it makes me walk with an upright stoop when there is a following wind.

Haha! Me too. Anybody who is over 30 and dont need outside help to shave his ballsack is either a gay dude or a male stripper. On the other hand anybody over 30 who is forced to shave his ballsack otherwise his girlfriend witholding sex for a month is in serious need for some relationshp advice - LEAVE HER!

Sounds like a pretty nice freeroll idea. Anywhere you get a chance to earn free money is allright with me. I hope to read on here about mobsters winning big and i look forward to reading about the bad beats and the big river bluffs on here
