MS: Theo: $1 PKM @ 5.1%

#1

After one long day of exclusive $1 5 coin Pick'Em, my theo yielded
~5.1%. This is down from 6.0% that I realized back a year ago, before
the downgrade/re-upgrade.

They've also become more strict on concert comps. At Gwen Stefani,
they required a $600 4mo avg daily theo even though they had tickets
available on the day of the show. Formerly, I would have been able to
get them anyway even though my theo dipped from the PKM downgrade
months. I believe $600 has become a standard figure for decent shows.

Steve ,

I'm a little confused and forgive me if this question has already been
explained...
  What is theo in MS' case all about ? You get one point for every $90
run through on $PE. Points can be used for food, store purchases etc.
Where does theo come into play and also how were you able to figure out
this 5.1% ?

Theo comes into play when you want comps that don't require using your
points such as lounge access, Sagamore/Sachem cards, concert tickets,
slot tournaments, etc.; you will not get the best seats for shows if
you use your points. The 5.1% was derived by playing one game
exclusively through the day and then having a host pull up your
computer screen which shows your theo for that day; your coin-in will
be 90 times the points you earned on a $1 game.

They are going to be tightening up lounge access come January. My host
tells me you'll need a $425 daily theo which is what was said back in
June but they've delayed in implementing. In $1 pick'em this equates
to earning ~93 points in a day for access.
