good job team europe

Rudy, wasn't it you who asked why Canada wasn't having problems with filling slots? (a few days ago, when you were having trouble with the USA thread)

turns out they have it worse.

poker talent, I'd rank it USA-Canada-Europe-World

USA, as you said, are prima donnas with big egos

Canadians at each others throats. frizzelli trying to break off, ala Montreal.
Team World lives in the wilderness and has intermittent Internet access.

**yisman** · 03-18-12, 12:16 AM

^ Sorry, that should say Quebec, not Montreal.

How about this. I'll agree to give you 6% of your losses back if you play me 200 hands heads up.

**RudyRuetigger** · 03-18-12, 07:10 AM

10% - at .5/1 and I only have to buy in once.

A)It was a joke. I'm not betting it with the prices in the SBR book. Huge vig.

B)Your offer of USA -115 was not close to fair value.

Nope - but if your apprehensive I am happy to have someone else who we both agree on hold points for both sides.

**d2bets** · 03-18-12, 09:42 PM

Fair odds are:
USA 40%
Europe 26%
Canada 18%
World 16%

**wikkidinsane** · 03-18-12, 11:48 PM

Ok duffers, youre going down

roughly. I was thinking of offering "fair odds" to people, but decided against it.

Obviously USA would be +, though. Four team competition in online poker, no team could possibly have over a 50% chance of winning. I agree with USA-Europe-Canada-World, although I'd give World more like a 12% chance.

Yisser give me +730 on Team World - 90 to win 657. I will post up if keen.

**shari91** · 03-19-12, 04:59 AM

Yeah Yiser, give me the same deal and I'll take it too. My heart is with Canada but that team is a mess.

**Cuse0323** · 03-19-12, 06:51 AM

if anyone wants USA at +125 for 800 to win 1000, lemme know.

**wikkidinsane** · 03-19-12, 09:10 AM

cuse ill do 400 to win 500

**yisman** · 03-19-12, 09:29 AM

That was fair odds, meaning no vig odds.

Here's SBR Book odds:Team USA -165
Team CAN +175
Team EUR +250
Team World +300

I'll offer:

USA +135
Europe +250
Canada +375
World +525

Max risk: 150 points

**yisman** · 03-19-12, 09:31 AM

that's still very low vig (adds up to roughly 108%, which you won't find at any book I've seen in a 4+ competition field), and I won't be starting a new thread advertising it because I don't want to get buried.

12:15 Eastern is the deadline. You must post up here and tell me what your bet is.

**no1here** · 03-19-12, 09:54 AM

Willing to take the other 400

wikkid and no1here, you're on if you want it.

**yisman** · 03-19-12, 10:10 AM

I'm leaving shortly, so I'm upping the vig a bit

USA +130
Europe +250
Canada +360
World +510

Max risk: 150 points

deadline: 12:15 PM Eastern

**Cuse0323** · 03-19-12, 10:10 AM

I'll even give you my buddy Yismans odds as well. +135 so your 400 to win 540

**Cuse0323** · 03-19-12, 10:19 AM

GL wikkid, do the USA proud.

**yisman** · 03-19-12, 10:20 AM

cuse, any more left? I'll take a little of that because I want something to cheer for and no one is giving me any action.

**shari91** · 03-19-12, 10:22 AM

Ok Yiser, I want 100 on Europe at +250 and 50 at +510 on World. I've already bet on World in the book so I'll keep my stuff even.

**yisman** · 03-19-12, 10:24 AM

ok, you got it.

**RudyRuetigger** · 03-19-12, 10:24 AM

canada looks to be best value at yismans odds though. i don't think there is much difference in europe and canada.
