I was in New Orleans this weekend (trip report to follow later today or tomorrow) and forgot to unregister from the FTOPS Satellite Challenge Freerolls. They had 4 separate freerolls that you qualified for by winning 2, 3, 4, and 5 satellites to different FTOPS tourneys. (I think I won sats to 6 different FTOPS, but didn't play any of them).
I checked my email when I got home last night and I guess I finished in the bottom money spot (90th out of 291 players) in one of them.
"You finished the tournament in 90th place.
There has been $40.00 added to your account."
Forgetting to unregister cost me $13.40 in rakeback. So, thanks to sliding into a money spot in a freeroll that I didn't play, I netted $26.60 in online poker over the weekend even though I didn't log into my poker account once.

Haha, that's quality. How baad must the guy who bubbled feel if he knew a sitting out player actually cashed!

Haha, that reminds me of the time I had to leave a 180 man tournament to tend to my sick kid.
When I left there were about 130 remaining and I came back to find I'd busted out on the bubble!
