Finding out player finishes?

machine · #1 08-01-2006, 04:44 AM

I have a prop bet with a friend in which we have 10 players each for the main event(whatever team does better wins) what i was wondering is if there is a site which shows the exact position a player finishes? I know cardplayer is good for keeping up to date with who is left but it doesnt tell you what position the busted players finished in. Is there anywhere i can find this information?

Thanks in advance
Ben

I think b/c day 1 gets divided between multiple days the people that went out on day 1 dont really have a real bust out number. But i might be wrong.

nobody ANYWHERE knows what position the players busted if they finished out of the money (except for noteworthy exceptions such as first out out or on the bubble).

When you bust-out before the money you just get up and leave.
Nobody knows your name. Nobody knows exactly how many people are left when it happens anyway.

You're not wearing a name-tag and you don't have to report to anybody that you lost.

You're just done. you have no more chips.
so you leave the room and that's it.

Back in the old days, every finish was documented. I still have the complete finish from the 1995 main event were Forrest finished second to last.

Nowadays, with over 8000 players, impossible job.

Really??

Didn't know they used to do that.

It wouldn't be COMPLETELY impossible with the microchip technology available for cards and chips, etc. But, the way it is currently, it's not realistic.

I would guess that they might implement the technology for something like that within the next few years though.
But right now they have to worry about not using the same marked-cards over and over again and making sure everybody got the correct bag of chips from the day before and simple stuff like that.
