I like to play RTG and enjoy the free tourney's. I have had this idea for quite sometime, but thought it useful to share.
I have seen many threads regarding the RTP of the RTG. It is difficult to prove one way or the other and that is okay as well.
I only play at the accredited RTG and try to always play the freeroll tourneys when they occur. The cool thing about the tourneys is that you have a starting balance say, $2,000 and you have five minutes to play. As wins occur, they are added to a separate accruing balance and not your starting balance.
When your starting balance is zero or you run out of time, the tourney is over. So take your accrued balance and your starting balance and figure out your RTP (unless that's not how it's done). Granted this is only a snap shot, but hey it is better than nothing.
So if one kept track of all tourney's, then possibly RTP could be at least estimated?????
My last couple tourneys I played were (well the ones I wrote down anyway):
Start balance Accrued balance
$5000 $1915
$2000 $1135
So what is that 38.3% and 56.8%? I have done much better in the past, but didn't write them down. I thought I would keep track from here on out.
BTW, there may be some flaws in my thinking, but what else is there, except for logging each and every bet when playing real.
