It was 4 tickets, €1000. Clear to see in tournament info in lobby :)

Yup, there were 4 tickets reflected in the payouts. Was just a typo in the tournament name. Resulted in more overlay for me though 😏

Yeah, I was afraid as well the 5mans would die. But I also noticed their state has become worse. Can't even remember the last time a €100 started. I started playing a bit more MTTs because of this, games have been going pretty well overall so far there in the first months of 2019 😃

@triceraatopp Yes that's true. But that's not what has been said up to this point. All complaints here are in a way of "the possibility of big scores disappearing", which simply isn't the case. I'm just saying that we should base ourselves on facts and frame everything correctly 😃 The money has to come from somewhere off course, as I said before as well. So yes, it obv comes from the places below the top places. Honestly my general thoughts are as NMPfan stated: not a fan of it, but not the end of the world either.

I don't know if you (and maybe also everyone who agrees) simply didn't read my previous post or ignored it, but it's really obvious that the top prizes in the MTTs did not change. I just checked it for the titan, the €10 sputnik and the €50 sputnik as well. The prizes for the win just are not lower than before, or I must be very very mistaken. So building an argumentation based on this, is simply invalid. I'd also like to emphasize that I'm not trying to be Unibet's advocate - not at all, I also very much prefer steep payouts with fewer people ITM - , but I do think that you have to look at the facts. It's pretty clear that the top prizes barely changed, if they even changed at all, so I don't think you can say the things you said here. Unibet probably kept the top prizes about the same size very consciously, exactly for the reason to keep the mtts as attractive as before. I can agree with your paragraph about the rake though. This is very true, and I hate it as well. It happens to coincide with a small advantage to recs, which then becomes the easy excuse off course to implement these changes. I'm with you on this one :Smile:

@Leo-Unibet, great job on the new spans for the payout slots. Played a few small field MTTs last night, and it was great to see 4 or 5 people ITM where previously that was never possible, only 3 or 6 was an option with resulting big % gaps in amount of players paid out. This was a long needed change, and even though I still bubbled everywhere I really like how it is now. Props Leo for this aspect :laugh: I also kept an eye on the deep impact again yesterday, and it had a high top prize of €1262 (!!) with a prizepool of €5569. So yes, a rather high amount of entries, but not extraordinary either. This makes me believe the top heaviness of the payouts didn't get affected that much as I think we all assumed here first, which I think we all like to see. The image Leo posted from the bounty tournament, also seems to confirm this. Off course the money for the extra payouts has to come from somewhere, and it's easy to see this comes from lower mincashes in the new distribution. I can't say I like being paid out less than a buyin as a mincash in bounty MTTs at all... But yeah, I guess it's one or the other if more people have to be in the money. And I prefer a bigger top prize then above a bigger mincash, if I really have to choose. I would also have liked it to be a lower percentage than 17% ITM for sure, but as I said before I don't think it can be as big of a surprise as it's gotta be better for recreational players... Thus, not surprising that Unibet chooses to do this. EDIT: haven't played a R/A mtt yet. It would be interesting to see how mincashes relate to the buyins there. Gonna keep an eye on that in the next days.

Yeah @triceraatopp, I know it's 5k gtd, just thought the first prize from yesterday didn't seem to be lower than previously with the 5k gtd as well. But the fact that it didn't meet the guarantee will be a factor in this off course, could have pushed the first prize to be higher than what it will normally be now, idk exactly. Was just a guesstimate, exact % of prizepool numbers for the different finishing places is the only thing on which we would be able to judge :laugh: What @FeelsBadMan says is very important as well. Deep impact is a re-entry, so shouldn't have 3.5x mincashes in general. But as he also said, Unibet doesn't count re-entries as new entries to determine how many players get ITM (which essentially makes it a rebuy without addon, lol), which doesn't make sense at all either. I guess they should just start counting re-entries in re-entry mtts as new entries, as it's supposed to be, and then a 2x mincash makes perfect sense. That's basically just what a re-entry mtt is, although it's never been applied this way on Unibet. A Unibet anomaly, as NMP said, and this should be fixed imo. Have fun software programmers 😏 On another note, what really annoyed me in the previous payout distribution for MTTs, is the sudden jumps in amount of people that are ITM. For example: 24 registered players meant 3 players ITM, 25 meant 6 ITM. 44 registered players meant 6 ITM, 46 players meant 9 ITM. Certainly the first example was annoying and very common in a few MTTs (€50 sputnik as obvious example). I hope the new distribution makes sure there's a more smooth transition between those numbers of people ITM depending on the amount of registered players. Maybe Leo can provide us with these relations between #participants/#ITM as well, I'm very interested in that. 😃

Flatter payouts are an advantage to recs, disadvantage to regs in general. So I'm not too surprised by this change, although I don't like it either. Also not surprised that nobody here likes it, as we are all regs :happyshy: As you stated @triceraatopp, it's gonna be really annoying concerning the mincashes in re-entry / rebuy-addon MTTs. However, in your screenshots it looks like the top prize in the deep impact didn't change too much? So if I'm correct by thinking it was about the same prize before for first, it looks like the changes mainly affect the mincashes but still preserve quite a lot of the top-heaviness of the MTTs, which is something I would very much like. It's obviously gonna be one or the other with more players ITM: lower mincashes or lower top prizes (or combination of both). If it's choosing between these two, I prefer the lower mincashes above the lower top prizes. It would be very interesting to see exact % numbers for the top prizes indeed (maybe also for the mincashes), as @Brocky stated. I hope Leo can give us those 😃

Planning to play some Hexapros, or not a big fan? What do you think about the format? :)

80% for winner, 12% for second place and 8% for third for all multipliers of 25 and higher @MetalWolf :)

Played a hundred €5 games just to get the hang of it and tracked them in Excel. I know it doesn't say much, very small sample size, but might still be interesting to some of you :) Sample size: 100 Profit: €47,50 ROI: 9,50% Win percentage: 40% Multipliers: 1,5x -> 54 3x -> 24 5x -> 16 10x -> 6 25x+ -> 0 I only won one out of the six 10x multipliers I got, so definitely running under expectation in those so far. From the 5x ones, I won 5 out of 16, so that's around my winning percentage so far. I did spin the higher ones a little bit more than I will get them on average though (6% vs 4.6% for 10x, 16% vs 14% for 5x). Considering all the above, I'm pretty sure they will be beatable with enough recreational players in them :) On the format itself: I really like how often you spin 3x+ ones. I think it's really fun to only have a 1.5x as minimum multiplier, but get the higher ones a lot more often than on other sites. The game also runs very smooth, I also think the blind structure is alright with the slower blinds on higher multipliers. Positively surprised so far, I must say. Props to unibet.

The tournaments haven't disappeared. There just are no tournaments scheduled tonight. Probably necessary to perform the update. I guess hexapro will launch once all tournaments that are currently running, are over :)

Very well explained The €10s should be regarded as one long row of games. Losing 5x2 buyins would be the same as losing 1x10buyins. With the aggressive BR management he just tries to catch an upswing at higher stakes as soon as possible. He wants this to be a challenge, not a grind. @Psycho79 GL GL I hope you can catch some heat in the €10s this time

Thought something like that. I was wondering if reaching the 1.25M points to win a UO package would be possible for some sng grinders, but it doesn’t seem attainable unless the 50+ games would run all day too. I think I got to 350k once, and average at about 200k. But my volume is a lot lower than yours off course, as I mostly play only 3-4 tables

Hey @monkeyheaven, as the quarter is coming to an end and you're probably the highest volume sng grinder on the site, I was wondering to how many challenge points in the rakeback system you get on average/maximally?

You know I've also been playing some of these at the end of my sessions in the past couple of months. I'm pretty sure you'll quickly reach the €25 level (no pressure 😉). That's where some regs start to come in, but you'll notice soon that the softness of these games really varies a lot at different moments. I'm very curious to see how you'll do in the highest buyin levels eventually! Best of luck!

@TarotPower, why would you attack anyone personally like this on a blog? There's literally not a single reason why this blog would be less credible than any other blog on the community forum. No idea why also @WuDu and @VikingsAF are such disbelievers. I don't think anyone would just make up for fun that he grinds the 5-max SNGs, make up some imaginary results and brag about it. Also, he managed to rank some of the regs - including myself - in the SNGs, something which can only be done by grinding heaps of the 25+ games in my opinion. I personally recognized all these names too, so no, they are not made up names. I really don't understand why you guys are being so toxic about this thread. I feel like everything that @monkeyheaven states in this thread is very well possible. I am a pretty big winner myself in these games, and I'm not at all a professional. So it's very well possible imo that someone who has been playing poker for several years as a pro, can get these kinds of results. I don't see any reason for all the disbelief.
