Should we have a book put up odds on who wins the SBR Poker Tourney?

[Bill Dozer]

I think it would be fun...probably a low max but you guys could put your money where your mouth is

[Kellen]

Bill, that would be killer. Id definetly put a little on myself.

[robzilla]

Can i wager on myself?

[pokernut9999]

You kids dont stand a chance.

[flyingillini]

Yes do it

[Kellen]

Im coming after you poker. Not gonna let you win this one.

[RealSlimShady]

I like my chances if I am eligible to play.

[mofome]

slim is in!




i got my boy slimshady.

[pat venditto]

we could rig this tournament like the refs and players rig the nba. kellen will be a 250 to 1 dog and will win we will raise all but 1 chip we have and then fold to kellens re raiise all in. even if its 50$ max we can bury the books

Let's get some online games going at Stars.

[dwaechte]

Haha i think this would be awesome. As a neutral observer id love to throw a small amount on a couple guys.

[HedgeHog]

Sure, but it's not as easy as blackjack.

[AgainstAllOdds]

how do you have a book put odds on people theyve never meant before?

[mofome]

great HH is here i guess no one else gets to win anything.

Here's a hint--I always bluff.

[AgainstAllOdds]

Here's a hint--I always bluff.

so would that make that statement true or false?

[mofome]

a lot of people think my game is trying to 'play dumb', but im really just dumb. sometimes it works out to my advantage. play cautiously.

[HedgeHog]

Yes.

after reading the title of this thread this was the first thing i thought of. if kellen won at 250 to 1 for $50 that would payout 12.5 dimes.

[Poker_Beast]

Anyone w/ poker in there name is guaranteed lower odds.

[flyingillini]

I really think this should be done. I have no clue on how to lay the odds on this but it will make it a lot more exciting.

[imgv94]

Longest shot

[Oscar]

when and where is this poker game?

[Bill Dozer]

when and where is this poker game?

Saturday the 23rd. First hand to be dealt at 3:00!

BetJamaica is going is going to hang odds on us. BJ players will be able to bet on your SBR poster name.

[RealSlimShady]

Hmmm....I think I am going to try to make it to the bash. How much time do I have to register? When's the deadline?

[bettilimbroke999]

Not sure about a book having odds as no one really has any idea how the other players play (except for a couple of SBR tourneys with like 15 entrants), but we should have a calcutta before the tourney

[RealSlimShady]

I'm pretty sure the book will make everyone start out at about the same odds and adjust very heavily as certain players are bet on. Plus I'm sure the limits will be very low. The book will do this more for fun than to make any real $, I'm sure.

[Art Vandeleigh]

Maybe you could do some side betting on Matchbook's X-bet, since almost everyone has Matchbook.

Art do you play at Bodog under the same handle ?

[mofome]

this will be awesome.

Any details on the structure of the tourney? If its the typical Vegas tourist tournament structure there won't be much in the way of skill involved once it gets past the 4th or 5th level. If it were structured along the lines of the Venetian's deep stack tournaments, at least there would be some room for play before being severely limited by the blind levels.

[Bill Dozer]

We are still ironing out the format and wil update the board soon! I can tell you we are planning it to take 4 hours.
