Can anyone stake me say $100K? Negreanu offering 5-1 he wins at WSOP

[curtains]

This is clearly not a great deal or anything, especially as the fields will be small. I'd actually think its clearly a bad deal.

I offered, and am still offering anyone a price on me winning a WSOP bracelet this year. I had several offers the first time I posted it, so here is a reminder to those interested: you can lay me 5-1 and I'll be willing to bet up to $100,000 that I'll win a bracelet in 2007. For those who don't know how that works exactly, you'd put up $500 if you lose, and win $100 if I'm unable to win a bracelet.

I've tried several times to book this bet with Daniel at $50k. At first he responded to emails and PMs. When it came time to book and post the bet, he stopped replying.

Haven't heard from him since late March despite many attempts.

You know what you have to do to get even then, don't you?

Make one of those hilarious Grand Theft Auto spoof things about it.

Daniel is still very good with his fans during the tournament--he acquiesces to every request for an autograph, picture and he schmoozes regularly with his fans.

Being that famous in poker is a much of a curse as it is a blessing, and I can assure you that guys like Phil Ivey and Daniel are sick of being stopped 12 times by random people on the way to the bathroom at the Rio, but they oblige their fans out of basic decency. In any event, I could see how being clung to by Random People while not around a poker environment would be very uncomfortable and bothersome. If I couldn't go to a club without being bothered by strangers on a regular basis, I'd stay home too.

Admo,

That's 35-40 tourneys he's playing. What do you think the line really is?

[Arhiippa]

If you read the original post where DN proposed this bet, his assumptions weren't too improbable. If he manages to play his whole schedule, he definitely has a decent change to get a bracelet at least once in five years.

I'd prefer not to say, but I obviously think I'm getting the best of it laying 5-1.

Give me a break. So he has to sign a few autographs. The benefit of that is some donk who plays him for a lot of money when he has no shot of winning. If he wants slink back into anonymity and give up his endorsement deals, website, and games where people give away their money, then fine. If not, then STFU and sign a few autographs, he's certainly getting paid well enough for it.

He posted this at or before March? Why not approach him directly at the Rio? He's pretty approachable and will probably give you some kind of definitive answer or a grand excuse (although I assume he'll want you to post-up the 250K as you should expect him to post-up the 50K). Was nice meeting you in person the other day, Admo.
