Is this a good game, lol..

IDK about you but I'm still waiting for the actual FB posting citing this supposed tournament in the first place. But a 6x profit is quite weak either way.

Did you read something different from what I read? $10 entry fee; chance to win $70. You write that a lottery requires a prize! One of us is missing something! Then you write, IF he did it without the buy-in, etc. But he didn't write it that way! So, how can you fault anything I wrote? What sense are you making?

You incorrectly assumed I was finding fault, I was not. I was, instead, providing an alternative that would legally permit a competion between players...the winner having the highest chip count at the end of play and the satisfaction gained from winning.

To answer Zee's question, this is very much like the typical cruise ship tournament and, if the prize pool was a bit bigger, a skilled tournament player can do very well at these -- especially if the tournament will be held repeatedly over a period of time. The main reason is that your opponents usually have no tournament experience and therefore either have no strategy at all or believe that counting will give them an edge.

given the minimum bet and spread cap, $500 is ridiculously insignificant to think your counting advantage can beat sheer luck

You're half way there. Counting is useless, but it's not sheer luck. It's mostly about strategic betting strategy and to a lesser extent about making strategic playing strategy deviations during the end game.
