Well, day 1 is finished
I entered many freerolls, but....
The Freerolls these days are great if you are a new player! $1000, $10.000, everything. But try playing it for more then a week and they expect you to play high rollers and quit the freerolls.
Conclusion: None of the sites I tried offered great freerolls, best sites were Pokerstars and Everest offering me a ticket for the $2000, the others just give the old players $1 for beating 10,000 others.
Despite that fact, I tried it and the results are very negative. I'll continue to play in everest and pokerstars and PKR (LOVE THE 3D), those are the best and pkr is the most fun.
oh, I won a total of $0,45 so far, If I lift up my couch I can find more than that -.-
Many will say they saw it coming , true, but I never played a lot of online poker after the first few beginner ticketsfreerolls I got offered haha.

try actionpoker, they have almost every 2 hours a freeroll running. they also only offer $50 freerolls so dont expect huge payouts, but its pretty easy to get in the money or even final table.
the pacific poker freerolls you must enter quick only 1000 players within 15 minutes only 500 left because of superduperfishdonkeys there mostly you will have a stack of 5000 chips already and than play TAG make money a few times and start on the lowest cashgames there you will be immediately on a run like me and a lot of other people who starts there 2
Posted by B1gfoot: Why are you doing this If you want to win money freerolling id avoid the bigger sites.
Right there is nearly no possibility to win these Free-Rolls with Skill. In each Tournement there will be the moment where you get lucked out by a donk, because 95% of the players entering this freerolls either don't take them seriously, or are simply beginners/donks.

Yeah, I figured that out too, but just wait for the right moment and you'll catch up with them and become one of the top players of the tour. I'm just going to try it anyways, be patiened and try to win tickets for higher tours.
I'm just curious how serious we should take the freerolls, after a week we should see results. First day was a big disaster though

Edit: how come I've seen 2 comments on the freerolls of pacific poker so far? I'm playing it right now and only 10 out of a 1000 get a ticket! :S

I hereby close the contest for any more guesses as it has been 24 hours and obviously no one cared to read the rules which stated I'll change total winnings of $2,29 > $2
sigh -.-, will still try to see who came closest and what price they'll get, cause 5% of $1,01 isnt worth it lol.

I think its better to try free poker sites than freerolls on big sites, they pay less but the time you put on these sites if you put there you can win much more there. I used to play on a free site, made around 120$ in 2 months.

Posted by DaneMitic: Maybe 1 Dollar and a free ticket to the psychiatry???
Just because I want to test how usefull freerolls are for experienced players? I know I won't make it to a $1000, but I was curious if someone was able to make it to a $100 after a whole week at 5 well known poker sites at the time.

Posted by fcumred: Full Tilt is without doubt the best one to try
I don't see any freerolls on FullTilt, only Country-restricted once a day :S Nevermind, See it now

Oh I followed the advice of joining a new site and I won $20 on BetCruise! that makes a total of $20,45 after 2 days ! Any more sites to suggest?
(SO.. I guess only poorly known sites are worth it?)

Nah, because I am not a friend of freerolls, I hate 'em.
