Nice Guesswork – Blog Freeroll

Monday, June 22, 2009 - smokin_aces

We’ve got a wide spread on the various guesses at how many players will register for this Wednesday’s Blog Freeroll. If you’ve got a guess, comment on this post and solidify your prediction!

Check out kindglands’ guess. Now how can half a player register?  I like the creativity though.

We’re at 871 at the time of this post.  I wish I had guessed higher now. :S

Blog Freeroll Countdown

Friday, June 19, 2009 - smokin_aces

Less than one week to get yourself registered for the Ultimate Bet Blog tournament. It’s Wednesday June 24th. Let’s make this one POP!

The code is UBBLOG4n2598960

Last week, a lot of you submitted your guesses as to how many players would register for the Blog Freeroll. I guessed 1376 and there was a hefty variance across the board. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Let’s work together to make this blog tournament extra special. I’m not supposed to mention this, but there is some behind the scenes chatter here at UB about making the next Blog Freeroll bigger and better. Depending on the outcome of this tournament, we may increase the prize pool SIGNIFICANTLY. So, show us that you like this community and this tournament. Here’s what you can do.

1) Copy and paste the following message and email it to your friends: Come join me in the Ultimate Bet Blog Freeroll on Wednesday June 24th. First place get’s a free seat at the 200 K Guaranteed! All you need is this code: UBBLOG4n2598960

2) Hop on Twitter and retweet our announcements about this tournament.

3) Forward the following link to this post to anyone you think would be interested. http://blog.ultimatebet.com/2009/06/blog-freeroll-countdown/

4) GET YOURSELF REGISTERED!

Thanks to all the people that took a shot at decoding last week’s hidden puzzle in the Blog Freeroll code. Many people got it correct, which means next time I’ll have to create something MUCH harder. You people are swift! (i guess that should be obvious, you’re poker players)

The correct answer was ‘4 in 2598960′ – the exact probability of getting a Royal Flush. Of course, one could argue that your odds are much better than that because there are four suits that a Royal Flush can be comprised of. If that person said your odds are actually ‘1 in 649740′, meaning you have a much better chance, would they be correct?

See you next week!
