It's real easy if you wanna calculate your rakeback, and you dont need a program

The formula for calculating your rakeback for cash games is fairly simple (I base it off of blocks of 100FTP)

Take 100FTP, divide it by the number of players in the game you play (Full ring = 9, 6 max would be 6, heads up would be 2)

Take that amount and multiply it by your rake back percentage 27% is used a lot so multiple your amount from about by 0.27

This is the rakeback you will earn for each 100 FTP earned.


For example I play 9 man, .50/$1 MAX $100 games.

I would take 100FTP divided by 9 which equals 11.1

Now I multiply my 11.1 times my rake back percentage, lets say I get 25% rakeback

11.1 Times 25% or (11.1 * 0.25) = $2.775, or $2.75 rake back for every 100 FTP earned.

Now this would be the minimum, if you're at a ring game where there are only 7 players seated and there's 9 seats available, you will earn slightly more. It's almost impossible to track because people join and leave all the time, but if you always make your calculations with the MAXIMUM players that can be seated at the table, you'll be always finding the MINIMUM rakeback you'll earn, and most likely you'll end up with a little more.

Ah Embarassed

Imaybe wasn't clear enough with my post....

DONT download the application I have in that link. It actually contains a trojan and key loggers that steals all your log in info so that people can attempt to access your online accounts.

The article is almost 2 years old, but i still found traces of it on the net.
