silicon 0 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 So I entered a few satellites for the Sunday million on Stars and ended up winning seats. Being Mother's day and all this weekend I deregistered and ended up with $400+ in T$'s. As a cash game player mostly I didn't want the T$'s so I sold them for 97% of face value - great experience that took 5 minutes. My question - what does the buying company do with all the T$'s. They told me they would buy any amount I cared to sell. Link to post Share on other sites

gibler321 1 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i'm sure the people who buy the $T use it for themselves when they play poker Link to post Share on other sites
MaxStPolish 4 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 They're basically profiting on the spread.They buy your T$ for .96 on the dollar. They sell to people for .98 on the dollar. They make .02 on every dollar they transact. As it's probably pretty fluid, since trny players can save money, it's a simple turnover investment with a nice 2% hook. Link to post Share on other sites

Jam-Fly 8 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I decided I wanted to buy some T$ somewhere to save a few bucks. I couln't find anywhere that sold T$ at less than 100%!! W$ are worth a little less than actual dollars, but T$ are practically identical to actual dollars Link to post Share on other sites
