Package Split (Opinions Wanted)

Larry David · #1 09-23-2006, 09:46 PM

For all practical purposes this is hypothetical. Assume a friend wins a freeroll tournament while playing on your account. The tournament package is worth $18K and includes:

- $3K Spending cash
- 2 Plane Tickets to an out of country destination
- 10 Day stay at 5 star resort
- Buy-in to a large buy-in main event tournament

Since the account is in your name, you have to play in the tournament as the friend will not be allowed to. What is a fair way to split this up assuming the person not playing will not be going with the tournament player?

Was your friend paying you back if he didnt win?

Your friend should get ~everything.

This was a FREEROLL tournament. And I already said the friend cannot play as you have to present ID and it has to be the player the account is registered under.

you owe friend cash for everything.

did this freeroll cost fpps? or how about being a specific level member? Could he have created his own account and played in this freeroll?

I suck at reading.. so he can't come with you.. then i'd say just divide the spending cash, you go on the trip (can't let that go to waste), and give him 50$ of your actin.

Giving him the 3k and half your action in the tournament seems fair. 3k must be close to the value of the trip, if not then perhaps some extra $ to make things equal.

if it was a freeroll under ur account that he couldnt have played in his own name then id give him like 20% and half the cash

I'm not aware of your financial situation, but let's look at this a different way. Assume you and me are good friends and I am playing a FREEROLL on YOUR account. This freeroll was earned from playing a specific amount of hands. I just happened to sign on and see that you didn't know when it was and I decide to not let the freeroll go to waste. You are not home and I play for you. I win an $18K package on your account so you are the only one eligible to claim it. You are saying that you should give me $18K cash money in return. As I said, I do not know your financial situation. What if you only have a $10K bankroll? What if you have a $100K bankroll? Is it fair for me to rape you of something you didn't ask for? Now I'm forcing you to give me $18K and you may get nothing in return, you may not even have that much or it may be a large percentage of your bankroll that you wouldn't waste on such a large buy-in tournament. So how do you compensate me in a more fair way to both of us?

This is what I am thinking is close to the fair thing. $3K is clearly less than the value of the trip because the spending cash is that much alone. So let's say the tournament player will give the $3K spending cash to the friend. The friend will get 50% of the players action. Should the friend get anything else to compensate for the flights, hotel accomidations, and basicly a nice vacation for two out of the country which will be close to free?
