I won this one today, but I didnt even know what I was playing

.
I took 5 hrs, so its total waste of time to play this everyday for $300 1st prize.
I dont play Kings league with 30 people in it and better money, so Stars is no-no (unless bored or not many games on).
Good Luck if any one takes it on.

I only played 3 times. There should be update tomorrow.

Are these still being played?

GaF · 12-04-2009, 09:53

They're still in the lobby - dont know if anyone is playing them though

dazdiamonds · 01-06-2009, 01:00

i noticed that theres only about 70-80 entrants in the fpp most nights now, so ive played it 7 times and cashed in 6[usually top 15].

came 5th in the last one tonight so im pretty certain im in top 50

i used 175fpps and have a return of approx $90

i don't think its worth doing everynight but it might be worth keeping an eye on the fpp div if you want to turn them into a few $$s

voiceofjoe · 01-07-2009, 23:03

Finished 56th in the FPP in Junes League - which is worth $10, how soon does it get paid out anybody know ??
