EDIT:

Right, I'm obviously reading all the wrong information. Sorry!! I did try and specify I wasn't an expert on this (better keep my mouth shut from now on...) From reading below I can see the information I gave was wrong, so here it is, hopefully correctly...

358 members entered and the Pool total was 60,000 PiggyPoints

281 members bet on Bonnie

118 members bet 50 PiggyPoints and will get APPROXIMATELY 44 PiggyPoints
72 members bet 100 PiggyPoints and will get approximately 89 PiggyPoints
38 members bet 200 PiggyPoints and will get approximately 177 PiggyPoints
39 members bet 500 PiggyPoints and will get approximately 443 PiggyPoints
14 members bet 1000 PiggyPoints and will get approximately 886 PiggyPoints

Thanks

The above totals 48007, so you have taken 11993 points out. (20% bar 7 points) How can Pigs Back justify that sort of cut from the pot?

The world cup pool is at 98850 points at this moment so thats another 20000 points going out as your cut.

Was contemplating betting in one of these pools, can't see me doing it now.

If Pigsback had taken no cut. then the payout would have been 55.35 points per 50 points bet so you would have made got odds of around 10 to 1 on. plus the return of your stake money.

Does anyone know if Bonnie was 10/1 on at the bookies?

The only way you will get your stake money back from something like this is if they run a book and set odds or you back an outsider and it comes in.

I suspect you'll find that PB take a similar profit on the vouchers we send for. They do not pay their suppliers the full £10 (say) for a voucher, but then charge us 1150 points (say) for a Boots voucher.

I would strongly suggest, k9cuddles, that you edit that last post, as everyone now knows your name and the town you live in. From that it is easy to track down your address and phone number. There are far too many weirdos about to make that info public.

But well done on your comp success!

The piggypoints jackpots are a total rip-off

I agree, not the 1st time it's happened...

If this company wants to retain it's HONESTY & INTEGRITY it had better solve this problem fast, as this site is only maintained by the goodwill of it's members.
This Latest Fiasco illustrates an ill-thought-out betting game where winners are penalised and are placed in the ludicrous position of being worse off when they win.
