Yep that last part I agree with. I wouldn't mind at all if all the freerolls became 50c or $1 buyins

After a couple of seasons one would expect to see the average of buy-in player increase, but I fear the transferance from freeroll to buyin has not occured just too many freerolls available perhaps a reduction to 1 or 2 per day may be best.

But then they become buy-ins. hence therefore they are not freerolls anymore .
They become a challenge game

whats your point?

in the future, i think that there will be more challenge games at the expense of the freerolls - its better for 888 that way, so that is obviously the direction they will want to take

Freerolls means Freerolls , Not buy-ins , a buy-in makes it a challenge game not a freeroll .
The Points people are arguing about are multi X , by Y , by Z . this would make all games min x3 for freerolls @ home

No, it would mean there were LESS freerolls at home. The Murrin Media & AK games would become Challenge games, and less people would play them, so the 3x multiplier wouldn't have such a big effect on the points.

I agree the murrin and AK should be a small buy in. At least if you look at the consisant players in these they would appear to be those willing to do the rebuys

this is exactly right.

making these games have a small buyin gets rid of all of the problems - they are still challenge games, so attract a 3x multiplier, but it means that people can't freeroll their way to big points

making these games buy ins will only mean that a lot less people play them... a lot of people play the freerolls for many reasons and cant or wont play buy in events... there is already a selection of buy in events running throughout the day... maybe just taking the 3x multiplier off these games to take away the point advantage might be a better option, making them buy in games they should then attract a 5x multiplier shouldnt they???
I respect the poker gods, I think that's why they are nice to me!!!
