Ladbrokes Cancel Freerolls

I really enjoy playing on the Ladbrokes freerolls but now they have cancelled all 4 of them each day and replaced it with just one tournament that requires 1 poker point to enter

Maybe these new 'money back' tournaments will eventually replace freerolls altogether; the poker sites force people to make a real money deposit in order to enter them, while anyone who chooses to play them is basically playing a freeroll tournament which uses a deposit that they get back if they don't make the money.

I reckon that's how freerolls will be handled in the future, also poker sites may use player points to restrict who can play in the freerolls but I like the other aforementioned method over one that uses player points. Would be a real shame to lose freerolls altogether imo.

prefer the no lose tourney as the field is usually much smaller so odds are shorter.
can't find many though. only regular one seems to be Bet365 .think they have 3 per day with the best one at 7pm GMT. Usually about 300 runners for $500.

Hey, I have been a member of Ladbrokes for a while now and have just found out about this website! I am only 18 and a studentttt haha! I have bits and bobs of money about and was wondering if anyone has any tips for me to build up my $ at present I have about 15$ in my account. I have been playing poker for ages but never online. usually just play with friends and small cash freezeouts at casino.

Cheers Ross

Well am 19 and at college 4 days a week so I am careful with my money too, i deposited £10 just after xmas to get about $19 in my account.. Apart from when I play with OLBG most of the time I play the 10 pays 5 tables at Ladbrokes.. This way I know I have a really good chance of getting double my $ I paid to play on the table.. I find this a really good way of keeping a healthy bank-roll.. I stick to $2 and $5 tables but only when I know I can afford to lose more money do I go higher.. of course I dont win them all even if it is 10 pays 5 but this way I dont have to keep depositing money to have fun playing poker.
When on 10 pays 5 I think if you play sensibly its hard to lose more than you win.
Its just being sensible and playing with what you can afford to lose mate.

I put more back than I take out this way.. Winning a few $2 tables to start with then try on a $5 and come in the top 5, I have £5 to send to my bank.

Getting placed in a OLBG Tournament helps the bank-roll very good Cheeky

Hope it helps

Since I am new to OLBG, I was just wondering what actually is this OLBG poker thing? Cheers for the help Tipster but what are the stakes playing in these games? Basically how much do I need to pay to join these 10 seaters with 5 being paid? PM me with your msn address if you like and we can chat on there if you have it

Well The lowest is $2.30 which is about £1.. then it goes up to $5.50 and $10.. I dont go much higher than $5 unless I cant afford to.

The minimun depoisit from your bank can be £5 which is $9.80 so is not to bad really. Win
