I generally play poker and some other gambling-related stuff for my online money making. When I check out a poker game I want to consider whether I can beat the game at that level and for how many bets per hour and then factor in bonuses and other stuff and determine what my hourly rate would be (this is pretty common for people who study the game). This is to see if it is worth my time and also whether I could make more money at another game/site whatever.

So, my question for you guys is what do you think your "hourly rate" is? For the time spent seeking trades on the board, doing trades, doing offers, complaining to Gratis, finding new sites. etc. what do you think you make in dollars of prize value per hour?

It might be a little hard to calculate, because sometimes one might just come on the boards to chat about whatever because it's fun. But I would say if you came on the boards to check the trades and end up chatting at least some of that time counts.

This isn't a loaded question and I don't think it needs to be higher than a work wage to make it worth it or anything (because it sure beats [i17ae3c63b1]real[/i17ae3c63b1] work). Just thought I'd ask because I'm curious about what some of you experienced traders might say.

Good thought. I gave it a thinking last week too. I realised the payout per hour was way too little if you only traded and stuff. If you have your own website or other "automated" marketing means - it might be better. I have almost given up on the free stuff. Just completing the 360 xbox and flashipods. and am not pursuing them like I used too.

You cud make much easier money doing online deals and re-selling them on ebay etc. I tried out one such last week after someone gave me a hint. total time spent was like 1.5 hrs. Made $300 -) No free site gave me such a sweet payout.
