    Tote Pool Betting Day #1 SBR Poker World Cup

    I'll be running a standard paramutual tote pool for each day of the Poker World Cup.

    Which Team Will Win Day #1?

    Add whatever amount of points you wish to bet to this post for action.

    Day #1 Tote Closes: Noon ET Tuesday 27th August

    Estimated Odds will be updated as bets are placed. (and I get to it)

    Tote Hold is 3%

    Payouts are shown Decimal Style (includes the wagered amount in winnings)


    Rules

    SBR Scoring structure. 2 points for a win and 1 point for 2nd place.

    Ties to be broken by most team wins, then 2nds, 3rds, then 4ths. If still tied at that point a dead heat will be declared and all bets on the two tied teams will be paid at 50% of a full win value.



    Current Estimated Dividends per Point Wagered

    Yes, just a normal tote pool as explained at the top.

    No limited liability rules.

    Yeah well I wasn't doing it for nothing like I have done with every other game/pool I have ever run.

    And I getcha, offering a -103 book is pretty fuckin greedy. I learned.

    looks like it's just Yis and me.

    I think we need a little more interest Ticklz.

    Do you want to run it for free? Seems 3% turned people off. I can give you the simple spreadsheet to enter bets on that gives you the updated odds.

    Obviously you were frustrated by losing bets to me so you decided to rig the poker to make some back

    If World win today, I'll give you a 35 point FP for tomorrow to make up for the extra risk today.

    Shame this didn't happen. Could have been good I think. And would have been interesting to see how the odds played out with a bit of action.
