-2000 .

Geebus! I played my first game of online poker in July, and have never read a book.

How about -200?

[yisman]

I'll offer +300 on me making team USA.

btw -2000 for team world isn't fair.

Only the top 25% or so of world players are making it, so -2000 wouldn't be fair odds for anyone.

[aceking]

ok deal .

you win 1500 points if you get into Team USA , or lose 500 points if not .

settlement of bet will be in March.

Good Luck!

Wait, that wasn't what I offered.

I offered the bet which I assume you're not going to take.

[Scorillo]

Awesome cups, nice forum

[playersonly69]

Yisman, you should bet on yourself at +300. I think that is a fair bet since you do play everyday. No reason for you not to make it

[yisman]

Hell no. You know how many USA players are playing every day?

If he wants 3/1, he can have it. Notice how he's not taking it, though.

[4TH AND STUPID]

will there be a list or a standings page where we can see who the highest point getters are to date until march

[aceking]

that was how I interpret your offer.
how can you bet on yourself to lose ? you'll just tank all the way.

never mind no deal .

[yisman]

That makes no sense, considering I'd stand to win a lot more if I made the Ryder Cup than if I didn't.

I also don't know how you interpreted it that way since it's not what I said.

500 poker points prize vs 1500 regular points if you tank ? its a no brainer .

[yisman]

No, because if I tanked all the way I'd lose out on a lot of daily points prizes, plus 2,500 points.

Obviously I want to make the team, but as I said, there are far too many US players.

first time I see someone betting on himself to lose .

btw he won 3 times more points than me , so -2000 odds is quite fair.

[playersonly69]

I am off to a decent start ace-king. I now have 1570 points this week. Now if I could remember to wake up and play in the 4am tourney! For the second day in a row i slept through that tourney. I just need to get to 3500 points and I am clear of the top 10

[aceking]

you mean 970 points ?

[playersonly69]

Nope, one of my badges isnt showing up. I have won twice this week and have a second place.


Maybe it doesnt show since I won the 12am tourney and the 4am tourney on the same day. Those both ended on Jan 4th, but they count as different days

Only wins from 2nd Jan count. Think I've got only the 145 points so far.

[playersonly69]

How could I just post a screenshot of the cashier page on SBR poker?

[Mr. D]

will there be a list or a standings page where we can see who the highest point getters are to date until march

Yes. Comes out weekly until the final month, the final month its updated daily. The first update is Saturday.

no -2000 is definitely not fair

I was saying that based on the odds you were offering, of course I'd bet against myself. I'd have no incentive to not try and win, but getting there is extremely unlikely, so I definitely would bet against it

Suggestion :

Put little flags beside everyone's avatar at the poker table.

Should be simple IP coding.

[nomeansno]

Would be cool to know which region everyone is from

Whatever they use it be a good feature.

Most poker sites you can at least scroll over the username and it tell you their country.

You miss k13's point.

He's not referring to deception, he just wants to know location for World Cup purposes.

[yaomingjr25]

USA!!

Nope.

The only tourneys that count are the regular 7-per day posted in the schedule thread.
