Bodog - Multiple buy in levels for $5k gtd

They have two $5,000 gtd's daily. Identical in every way except for buy in. One is $10 & the other is $50. The $50 had a field of 60-70 & the $10 had a field of 170 +/-.

I understand the field size differential is attractive to some, but the smaller field size has a correspondingly smaller # of places paid.

In my mind, I would want 20% of the field in order to pay a 400% premium on the buy in. The increased payout for cashing is it's own premium for the smaller number of payouts.

Geez, I just looked at the tourney list to verify my numbers and it's worse than before. Now they're listing $5,000 gtd's at $10 +$1, $12 + $1, $20 + $2, $30 + $3, $44 + $4 and $69 + $6.

What do you guys think? Smaller field size worth the premium? And are six different buy ins really that necessary?

Well the jump in costs from the $10 buy-in to the $50 buy-in is pretty big for most players (especially me) so I can see why they would have 2 separate tournaments. As for the 6 tournaments, I think that whenever the guaranteed prize pool exceeds the actual prize pool, its a good tournament to be in, which is the case for most bodog tournaments

i dont have problem except they need to have more tournomets...i play thier casino alot too
