Can u make a living on Free rolls and the winnings off of them

Well this is what I am gonna attempt. Right now I don't qualify for the cardschat freerolls but I will play the bodog freerolls and I have a few days left on IronDuke for their daily 500 dollar first deposit free rolls. I also play rounders radio free rolls. Ill post here everyday on how I am doing. At this time I have no money on any sites. I do have some first time deposit free rolls on pokertime and ironduke and alot of player points on jolly roger. I play on some weird sites huh. Well anyway wish me luck and any advice fee free to post. Thanks everyone

No.

You can definitely build a bankroll from freerolls. Would you want to try and play freerolls for a living? I sure wouldn't. Unless you make a big cash say winning a Main Event seat or something I just don't think it's worth the time or frustration.

No is an understatement!


HELL NO!

No damn way lol.

lol , only if u find million dollar freerolls... I have however played two freerolls at bicycle casino , really fun and 10 k prize pool i think.

The answer is... yes.

Win 5 dollars in a freeroll, then turn in into 50 million dollars, then cash out. Cha-ching!

If all you're planning to play is freerolls, no. But, use them to build a bankroll and who knows where it could lead?

I also say yes you can make a living off of your freeroll winnings. I had $9 on fulltilt and turned it into $290 something. I then took it to the $3/6 blinds $180 buy in and gave it away. So it can be done just play smart.

How is this making a living?????????????

The Answer is also NO I have been only trying to make a bankroll from freerolls and have not had any big sucess making a living from freerolls is just impossible.

Dream Big ....

Good Luck ....

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA!

no.

Even if you played every single freeroll on the net every day. And believe me sometimes I come pretty close to that... and I'm still broke.

you can make a living from freerolls not on them.and its a long way.every new man of poker have that kind of dream.how to make the dream come ture need hugely hard work.

there is absolutely no way what so ever to make a living off of freerolls you have to claw out a win here and there in spite of the fools and manics and not just the ones early in the tournments but those fish that get on a streek of great luck and survive almost until the end I know I have been trying to make a bankroll from freerolls playing in about 20 to 25 a day as well as playing stg freerolls on FTP and unregistering from the trournments for the Points although I have played a few of the higher level satilite tournments put I think I have only made maybe 50 bucks and thats been in about 8 months with the exception of a good five dollars that I turned into about 100 and entered a high dollar tournment and I was two people from the money first prize was 250,000 grand and it started paying at almost 10k I was the chip leader with like 3 people left to knock out before I got paid flopped the nut flush and had 3/4 of my chip stack in when raised my internet dropped due to the fact my cable compay sucks (incidently I raised all kinds of hell and got my internet for free for a year and the cable for 30 bucks less a month for 6 months although that sure as hell didnt cover the loss) because I didnt act in time it folded when the internet came back up and I was able to log in I found out that I finished on the bubble.

The 2700 person freerolls on full tilt are brutal. They take like 4 hours. I just made it to the final table, finished 5th and got 6 bucks for it. If I had to do that for a living I'd shoot myself.

"a living" is a bridge too far...! I'm building (or I should say re-building) my BR on Freerolls and added tourneys (thanks CC!) to $500 so that I'll be BR-ed for 25NL.

You gotta find all the good FRs.. At the moment.. Pokerstars reload freerolls are a good bet.. with added tickets to further FRs (20k) but the fields are huge (which is the norm prob with FRs!)

In the past I've signed up with other affiliates.. Besides CC, bankrollmob which offers free BRs and freerolls.. (sorry CC.. I shd have found out about you guys earlier!)
Also, Thanks to PS's UK promotion in May, I'm also a Plat star giving me access to quite a few FRs.. Weekly Sat and Monthly.. but these won't last past July as I'll surely get downgraded! Hope to cash well in one.. or cash decent in a few of all these FRs to help me rebuild my BR after an unsucessful foray into the turbulent world of Turbo 45/180 seater SnGs >.<

So there's quite a few FRs you can look into.. Pacificpoker/Luckyace/Littlewoodpoker/Rileyspoker and all the other Pacific network offer depositers (1k) + new player freerolls ($500 a day for a week) but that lasts.. a week and you need to deposit something. Pacific has 5 providers.. so you can try and milk that and get 5*7 = 35 freerolls of 500 with a field of a few hundred at most? Quite a small field as well as quite soft the last time I played there... (but this is assuming you're not in the US)

But making a consistent living.. good luck, brother!

No. You can start a small br from freerolls and build from there.

yes of course it happens all the time!

oh wait it doesnt?

I asked my wife to get a second job so I can play freerolls every day. She moved out.

lol no theres is absolutely no way you can make a living from them.

I signed up for an account on Ultimate Bet last week and had deposit issues, so they have me $10.
I played some rings for few bucks profit.
Then I played a $1.20 S&G and got first place for $4.50
Then I played a freeroll and was out early. (I don't even remember it)
Then I played the $5.50 OFC Aruba thing on UB and won $17 or whatever (plus the $27 satellite ticket thingy).
Then I played the Thursday UB freeroll for $45 (http://www.cardschat.com/f31/ultimatebet-freeroll-results-6-18-a-154700/).

These are atypical results. I have $70 and (eventually) a $27 tournament ticket without ever depositing. But you can't expect to get hot like that. Normally it'd take for freaking ever to get $70 from nothing.

$70 is not a big roll, but I've made thousands on PokerStars with a $50 deposit.

The thing is, it's easier and faster to make money when you already have money. The expected return for a good player on a free roll might be $1 for his 3 hours of play. But if that same player played money S&G's he'd be making substantially more per hour.

So basically, freerolls can be a first step, and it's a long slooooow step. If your goal is to make a living though, once you have a bankroll playing freerolls is no longer part of your plan. You simmply won't make enough money per hour to justify the time.

What it boils down to is that to make a living wage, you need to win a good amount of money per hour, and that's *impossible* to do with freerolls. They can only fund you to play micro limits, which will then fund you as you move up limit by limit until you're playing stakes high enough to have a meaningful return.

Is it possible?... it 'depends', lol.
I've heard of many who have built up a good roll on a site, starting from a freeroll cash. I've built up a small roll on a few sites, starting with freerolls (key word.. 'starting').
Once you actually get rolled for some games, you'll be playing freerolls with way less frequency cuz in most cases they simply aren't worth it. ALSO, the play is generally very bad and if you're actually improving your game, you won't be interested in playing most freerolls online.
Fortunately... the C.C. freerolls (for the most part... although the Freedom65 club continues to expand and has been making me a liar lately) are good games where you'll find players who play at a much higher level of skill than you'd typically see in alot (most) of the lowlimit buyins online.

I think as your own game progresses, you will find that so do your expectations, interests & aspirations. Great to have goals but good to be open to the natural flow of things (ie. 12mos. from now you're outlook & goals will be completely different from what they are today).

Yes, you can make a living off of freerolls. If you live on the street and beg a lot...

Well on Pokerstars, they have the astronomer freeroll satellites to the weekend second round tourneys, which is a $2000 prize pool. You could easily get two tickets to these tourneys in a week, giving you two chances to make the money on the weekend. If you won, you'd be looking at about $260, so that would be a good start for a bankroll. But, you have beat out 9000 people, which gives tickets to the top 72 and then have to compete in a 6000 person tourney on the weekend. It's tough, but possible.

Can people stop saying yes!

"yes you can build a bankroll from freerolls therefore you can make a living from them"

By this logic if I won £10 on the lottery, then deposited it into pokerstars and build it into a roll I could make a living from, would I be making a living from the lottery?

No, but you would be making money from "the lottery and the winnings off of it", which is what this thread is about.

Wait..What..make a living.....What?....waaa?

can you make a living off freerolls? i say yes, i might be wrong but i remember watching some commercials on tv about donating as little as $1 to feed a kid in africa for a whole week, so imagine if that kid got a laptop and started freeroll whoring in every site, he could freeroll for a living, now that's the good life. so imagine what a homeless guy can also accomplish for himself.

lol okay so if you live in a 3rd world country maybe..

but in america/any country that has a fairly high standard of living then no absolutely not. You spend 5 hours playing a freeroll and get like 10 dollars. no way you can make a living off that lol

"Can I make a living off of freerolls?" is like asking if you can live off a handful of seeds.
As is, they're just a small snack. But put some work and time and nurturing into them and you can grow a small crop. Let that crop go to seed instead of harvesting, and then you'll have more seeds. Repeat until you have enough seeds to fill enough acres and then you can finally be self sufficient.
So yeah, in the end you'll have enough seeds to have a crop that you can live off of, but the initial stake is maybe .25% of what you'll need. So really, the sustainability will be from the 99.75% (probably more) of your bankroll that you got from playing money games.

Win enough from freerolls to grind $5 sngs

if u make a living playin in freerolls ,,u should end up writing a book on the subject ,,lol gd luk to ye

Depends on what you call a living ?

My advise, for what its worth - get a life

If you played the $5,000 freerolls, and only 150 or 300 players signed up for them...

and you land in the top 18 places every time you played them...

and if you used the winnings from that to play the cash games, and other tournaments using the bankroll management rules or 5% for cash games... and 2% for MTT.

but then if you wanted to withdraw money from your account, it would have to be about 30-25% of your bankroll so you can keep making money with the money you got on your bankroll... and that might take a few weeks depending on how good you are...

Best of Luck at the Tables ;-)
