The Silver mission consisted PokerStars now to win eight Spin & Go Win eight tournaments of $ 7 and again just gave me a ticket for all in, this seems a mockery, I invested more than $ 80 for achieving complete the mission and did not give me even one dollar I still think that the mission of PokerStars are scams that only serve to themselves The good thing was to win several large Spin & Go of $ 42 and $ 28 and I got a positive balance in my cashier over $ 100

wow... win 8 fcukin spin and go's to get a sh1tty all-in shootout ticket? that's some fcukin value if you ask me. when we are talking about -ev offers out there in general: there are -ev offers and there are pokerstars offers. as we can see pokerstars are the leaders in every thing they can get their hands onto, even the sector of complete and utter -ev.

You should consider not participating in this missions With such a high buy in you can end up losing big time. And all of that for what ? You wont even get a fraction back of your money in case of a loss
Of course when you make a profit in the process, this changes things
I was looking at these missions yesterday... At first I thought it must be like 55% chance to get a shootout ticket... But then I clicked on the info thingy and went to see the prizes on stars website.
I was shocked to see that it's in fact 77% to get just a ticket. You have a mere 3% chance to hit 10$ after playing 100 hands at 5c/10c.
So my conclusion is: this promotion is only good for experienced ev+ cash game players.

I do not look at those missions very often and when i do it is always good for top poker players that can make a profit out of that and most of the time win just a ticket.
Since i am not one to poker player i just don't want to spend money to win a ticket which you again have to be very lucky to win money.
Did cash twice in two all in shoot outs for $3 with 30k entrants promo setup for stars .01 percent chance of hitting a the top prize most I won was with the first mission play one hundred cash games got $10 GL.

And today's mission is a mobile one which is fairly straight forward. I just have to find time now to play and cash in a minimum one dollar entry tournament and its job done for the day. I haven't played at stars for ages and I had forgotten the great tourneys that they run.

I like this nice promo, because i have won 1.000$ in the Gold challenge at the 15th of march. This was my biggest winning ever there and so i´ve got back all the money for all suckouts in the last years Later i´ve got only tickets and sometime 5$ like the most players.
the only promo or mission I take care of at pokerstars is the MEGABONUS one where you deposit and random cash amount and eventually I cash out after 1 week and then wait for it again. I will do this until I become a millionaire
Won ten bucks in yesterday's gold challenge cash in a tournament decided the easy route fifteen minute time tourney and an all in shootout ticket in the silver challenge. Today's challenge win with AA for silver challenge and win five times with bullets .05/.10 higher stakes for the gold challenge good luck.
