For a little over a week I have played in several tournaments and have found results being reasonably well. Out of five tournaments I failed to earn rewards only in one and that was because I did not have adequate cards to play in the tournament.
Here is a summary result of my wins and circle in red are my rewards in each of the tournaments that I did pull rewards in.
In total I earned 170 SPS for 425 DEC. This is equating to around 3 DEC per SPS which is great return. My opportunity cost will likely come from dropping about 700 DEC if I had delegated my staked SPS for seven days. In contrast the SPS to DEC I am getting over twice that amount. I will likely continue playing Wild tournaments for the foreseeable future.
Now not to say this is easy cake walk to just pay to participate but I still have to go through 10 to 12 battles in each round. I have yet to get through round one so its a quick 15 minutes or so getting my formations set. However this is still effort to put in when compared to just renting out cards and delegating SPS with no additional time spent.
Some pointers to know is that higher DEC entry tournaments seem to have more participation. Odds of winning prizes only is in my favor when there are less players involved. Out of all the tournaments I partake so far I am really ending near the bottom of the ratings.
Take for instance getting into the top 40 become possible only because there were less than 70 participants which is slightly half of the potential 128 participants that can win a reward. Basically a sure way to win just when one has enough staked SPS and collection power.
Thanks for reading this post.
