This thread is for discussion of all things prop bet related. Challenges, wagers, line discussions, etc.
Here's one to get things started. What's a good line on how much jail time Lindsay Lohan will serve (total) for her two DUI arrests? |

ZJ: i think im one of the 10 best live tourney players on the planet... [/ QUOTE ] almost certainly not true but unfalsifiable (unverifiable might be more accurate) at any rate. tournament poker is not chess, the signal to noise ratio is very very low and there isn't much of a mechanism to rank players. furthermore, there isn't a system in place to ensure that the cream rises to the top (chess success just requires smarts, tournament poker requires smarts + very large bankroll). some of the best tournament players in the world are very likely unknowns. once again, you can't just play a few tournaments, get a 2600+ rating then play Kramnik, beat him and instantly earn the respect of the community. |

Seriously though, aba has a prop bet with Barry G. relating to this. Brian pays Barry 20% of Barry's tourney cashes and Barry pays Brian 10% of ZJs cashes and 10% Imperium's cashes. I'm not sure of much more of the details, I'm assuming it'd be limited to tourneys that all three are playing in. Brian mentioned it in his blog, I'm sure someone will chime in with more or let me know if I got something wrong. |

Re: Prop bet thread
+195 means if you bet 100 dollars you will make a 195 dollar profit if you win. -195 means you need to lay 195$ in order to make a 100$ profit if you win. +100 means an even money wager |
