    world team are the lines to hit cuz they are not indicative of skill in any way. our team was the most lax when it comes to "qualifying " cuz there was no "qualifying" for us.

    and also strange you are not taking into account the average pts / cash as a factor in determining the line for team MVP. then again there are a lot of factors to consider making these lines and you'll go crazy making up a line if you take into account all of them.
    Both # of tournies played and pts/cash were taken into account. I have you as only missing 4 of the dailies, which is only a few games less than the average for Team USA. There are bound to be a few errors here and there, but nothing significant that I've seen.

    Wulfman, Optional, theballsflop possibly decent bets from the World side. On their end you just want guys who will show up and play.

    I was thinking that Team MVP price was for top scorer in each team, not the one MVP for tourney.

    For this thread, it is. Team MVP is for the top scorer for each team (so almost everyone is 11/1 or worse). The bigger price is top scorer overall.

    Yeah the odds is what led me to think that too.


    But it says this in post #1
    Team MVP: Team MVP as selected by SBR per rules (SBR World Poker Cup 2013: 1.2M points + iPad 3). Max wager is 200 points.

    4!?!? LMAO if that were only true. hahahaha. it is significant. at least for me cuz i registered for at least 10-15 and didnt play cuz i got booted or too tired to play coming back from work (7:30 PM IST my time). most regulars in the 10 am can see that i was always either just making it in time or booted a lot.

    not to mention during the month of july when monsoon season hit and i was in the top 20 at around 12-13 and end of tourney for me cuz my internet was gone .
    regardless just saying its impossible to make an accurate line on players taking into account EVERYTHING. i could care less if my line was +250 OR +2500.

    im assuming you looked at each player's point histories to determine how many tourneys they played in. that is NOT an accurate number to go buy especially for team world members, cept for the bottom 4 maybe.

    Correct...although I obviously can't differentiate between tourneys played in and ones slept through, auto booted etc. Aside from that and assuming it doesn't happen all that often, is there some other reason points histories wouldn't be a good basis?

    Sorry Opti...to clarify, it's the MVP as selected by SBR rules (most points for team, with same tiebreakers) but one for each team so there's another category to bet on.

    Per PM, dikefale confirmed for 100 on himself for "Most Points" @ +6060 and 100 on himself for "Teamp MVP" @ +1240. Both bets on credit with me.

    Additionally, I'll extend 200 points more for credit to him to bet here as he wants. Good luck!

    Augustus cashed in at least 2 of his 4 finals last year btw. Could have even been 3.


    Any chance of odds for Team World to NOT come last?

    Your screwed with Augustus, guy falls into card rack theory where the more station like you play the greater your odds of deck running over you. Guy has never seen two he didn't think had a chance and routinely will get them in way behind but he draws like no other.

    Keep your fingers crossed as you may be having to play poker regularly again just to pay off your Augustus bets.

    not gonna clutter up this thread any more. will most likely place some bets. points history is a good basis indeed , but you said i missed 4 which was way off. during the 4+ months how many people must have registered and not played. obviously that cant be seen so you only have pts history to go by. im just stating my scenario. im not saying i wouldve made team usa if there were no monsoons or i played everyday. just that making up a line on everyone taking into account everything is a difficult task. also the odds on blacklady and ballsflop baffle me. they play 3-4 tournies and cash big twice and their given better odds then the rest of team world ? i assure you if they played long term there avg cash/tourney would go down drastically. PM me if you wanna continue this . dont wanna clutter the thread. for me your number is completely inaccurate but like nicholas cage said in con air
    " its your BBQ and it tastes good"

    It's all a crap-shoot, but it'll be the most exciting thing to happen in SBR poker for the last 4.5 months or so! It might be interesting to see the other side of lending for a bit too...come Friday I might be looking for some terms

    Oh thanks. I was thinking something closer to even money honestly. Much closer.

    I'd be really happy to take the other side of that for the max if you'd like to actually.
