TWP,

Why do you have such a hardon for this happening?

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't. But I thought it was an interesting idea and since I suggested it I decided to see if it could happen. But obviously without a concerted effort, it's not going to happen, so I'm trying hard to get it to happen now and if that doesn't work, I'll call it quits in a few days. I don't really care, and have nothing to gain, but I think it would be cool so I'm giving it my best shot.

we could negotiate. my purpose is to bet on whether it will start in the near future. like as the results of my efforts going on now. so obviously not in a few months or whatever. but like if it starts within a month or something. gotta give me some time to work out logistics, etc. and, as of now i only have 3 people who have agreed to play and i need 5 more....

TWP,

durrr
aba
Booosted
jman

That's four right there who seem insta-ready to play the biggest of just about anything. Getting four more out of the 100/200+ regulars seems pretty easy.

So far, only one of those degens has committed, though. And they have had ample opportunity to do so.

TWP,

Maybe start organizing at some other time than right before the ME of the WORLD SERIES OF POKER?

anyway, i would love to know what these 'many logistical problems' are. it is way easier to organise an 8x$50k tournament than a 64x$5k/32x$10k tourney.

[/ QUOTE ]

8 people for $50,000

The loser of the quarterfinals ships $50,000

The loser of the semifinals the loser ships $100,000

The loser of the finals ships $100,000

1st = 300,000
2nd = 100,000

Does that sound easy enough?

Kinda. If you trust everyone to ship 50K or 100K after they lose...

It's not like I'm having trouble with the math, guys. Would YOU be happy playing in a tournament under those conditions? I wouldn't be...

I'd take action against this if someone wouldn't have created a thread with the sole intention of getting a prop bet out of a sucker like me.
