$100 to $2500 in 1 month - Interesting wager

RyanCMU · #1 02-27-2006, 02:03 AM

A poker playing buddy of mine recently offered me this wager; 6 to 1 on if I could run up $100 to $2500 by the end of March. we agreed to bet $700. So in essence, I stand to win $6700 ($2400 from playing, $4200 from wager) for a risk of $800 ($100 from playing, $700 from wager). I thought this was a good money making oppurtunity and a fun little challenge, So I decided to accept the bet.

The stipulations are; I must play LHE only and I must start at .5/1 and I may not take shots at higher games until I have at least a 150BB roll. I may not use bonuses or rakeback to reach my goal. Must be played on party, and I must use my existing account (obviously haha).

Starting tonight, I have 33 days to make $2400 dollars. Wish me luck.

Any thoughts comments or advice are welcome, and thanks in advance.

I will be updating this thread with updates on my progress.

Currently at; $155.05

Haha yea, Im goign to need to run really really hot in order to reach this goal and win this wager. The earing potential was just to great to pass up though in my mind.

haha yea im doubting the fact that I actually make it, however, 800 to win 6600, thoguht I had to take it.

$800 to win $6700 isin't acurate (you were probably joking but I'll take this opportunity to be a jerk anyway)

its $700 for $4200.

I did some basic math and this doesn't seem difficult at all, particulaily if you don't have other commitments and can multitable.

This shouldn't be too tough if you're willing to put in 30 or 40 thousand hands and you move down if you run bad at a new limit. I'd say if you lose 50 BB when you move up, move back down to the lower limit. Just play a lot and don't go busto before you get to 1/2. I hope your friend pays up but I'd bet he doesn't. Good luck.
