Bodog Teams Up With Card Player to Offer Card Player Readers a Free Shot at $100K Prize Pool
Bodog Poker is looking to give free entry into its $100,000-guaranteed tournament to up to 27 Card Player readers. The site is holding exclusive freerolls for Card Player readers — wherein one out of every 20 entrants is guaranteed entry (worth $109) into the site’s flagship tournament — to celebrate the end of the college and pro football seasons.
The first freeroll tournament will be held tomorrow (Saturday) at 5 p.m. ET, and it is limited to 540 entrants. One $109 entry will be awarded for every 20 entrants in the freeroll. The password to register for the first tournament is “bowlseason” (all lowercase). Those who win free seats can play in the major Sunday event the very next day. Bodog plans to hold the private freerolls every weekend from now until the end of the NFL playoffs. CardPlayer.com will announce the password for each freeroll on the Friday preceeding the event.
The $100,000-guaranteed event, held every Sunday at 4 p.m. ET, has been showing an increased value as of late with overlays reaching nearly $40,000. The overlays mean more bang for a player’s buy-in buck (or, in the case of Card Player readers, more bang for free), as the lower turnouts mean less competition for the paying spots and larger payouts for most of those who cash in the events. A representative from Bodog said that it is likely that the lower turnouts are because of the site’s major demographic: sports-lovers who are pumped and tied up watching the wrap-up games of the football season.
