Default Re: Can anyone stake me say $100K? Negreanu offering 5-1 he wins at W

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.

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.

You would have the worst of that bet. This isn't the World Series of Golf.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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

He posted this at or before March?

[/ QUOTE ]

History: some goofball started this thread that Daniel showed up in and proposed the 5-1 bracelet bet. We PM'ed back and forth several times, and agreed to book the bet. Though there are several people we both know that would have vouched for me, I offered to post the bet either in person in Vegas or via online transfer or via bank wire. Daniel stopped replying once we got this far.

Why not approach him directly at the Rio?

Funny enough I was headed over to talk with him but I saw you on the way to his table. (shaniac > DN, obv) When we finished booking details of our props, I ran into Bob Bright and talked with him for a bit. By the time we ironed out some details I forgot about Daniel.

Sadly enough, I'm one of the few guys that got fed up with Harrah's and came back home after being unable to register for the Saturday and Sunday's events. (I woke up every two hours and went to the cage-- lines were never less than 3 hours long)

Don't worry, I'm flying back in as soon as the big cash games heat up, so I'll be there for your 3 Final Table Victory dinner.

I'm going to try posting on Daniel's FCP right now.

I just signed up for his forum, but I'm not allowed to PM Daniel or reply to the thread about the bet. Maybe I need X number of posts first. If someone is a regular over there, maybe you can post a pointer to this thread?

At the end of the day, I know Daniel knows about the $50k bet and would have booked it if he wanted the action. His reasons for not doing so are his own, and could be as pedestrian as plain 'ol lazyness or busyness.

Not sure if this was mentioned before now but Daiel said the most HE would wager was 100K making the most anybody else would need to put up 20K. Was the extra 80K the OP was asking for for something else? Stakes for the WSOP for himself?
