What paid play on BBO gives the highest ROI (Return on Investment)? Which of the Zenith tournaments, Mini challenge...?
(I see that payback of all is dropped a lot the last years)

I wonder what exactly you mean by "Return on investment"?

I don't gamble, nor, I expect, do the majority of BBO players. Surely most participants in paid events do so for the pleasure of playing, regarding the payment as an entry fee. You wouldn't pay to go to a theatre, concert, etc., and then expect some sort of 'return'.

How to loose the least money on average (or keep your balance). Increasing your balance seems very difficult considering the limited return given by BBO.

There’s a difference in the effort I put in when it’s free versus when there’s something at stake, even if it’s only a small amount.
I think I learn more when I’m fully focused, and improving is the goal.
I also have some money left in my account that I’d like to use for this. Part of the challenge is making sure my balance doesn’t drop to zero.

Thanks, that gives it some context.
Are these tournaments with GIBBO?

Yes, with Robots:
- In All tournaments : search Zen
- In challenges: challenge reward - Low Stakes

I can't comment on robots games.
