Re: Update
 

even though i cant be part of this as im not 21 i have a suggestion:

if you are going to do this i dont think it would hurt to add 20 or so more players to pay for hotel and airfare.

But you would also be getting .5% of the winnings for the 99 times out of 100 that you do not win the drawing.

How does \"getting a piece\" of a player hold up?
 

While I only took 1 business law class in college, it was the only A+ I ever got......I like to argue. And I do remember something along the lines of a "gambling" contract is not a legal contract.....if I remember correctly the, the Prof. used the example of lottery groups in offices where one person buys the tickets but a bunch of people throw in money......the textbook answer was that if the "owner" of the ticket was a prick, then the others were S.O.L.

Please correct me if/when/where I am wrong.

Oh...just to wade through my ramblings, my question is, how do you KNOW the guy is going to pay back the cut they owe you if they win?

Right, but some people mentioned playing for the seat... so I wasn't sure. I'd probably have a better chance if it were a random draw, hehe [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

This is the problem with a share plan. Originally I was thinking this would be great, but unfortunatly there is no way to be sure that the winner will honor the deal. I mean, if people are going to short the tsunami fund then they will short anything.

My next thought about going forward without stars is this. We all send someone like granny the money. Then we start having elimination rounds of ten player "tables". So the 100 people are divided into ten tables of ten. Then we asign each person a number between 0 and 9. To pick a player from each group we could use the last digit from the hand number from the next partypoker BB jackpot hit (or some other random event). Repeat for "final table" of the ten winners. Granny then transfers the 10 dimes to the winners stars account and winner is free to buy in or cash out.

After typing that all out it seems a little convoluted. If anyone else has any other ideas im all ears.

Failing that, we could wait for stars to come around at the end of April.

If it's a raffle, I'm down...

Hell, that's a whole 700 raked hands on Party during a bonus to pay for it. I would think we'd be able to get 100 people.

Can we buy multiple raffle tickets?

Any side-bets on the odds certain posters will win the raffle? Nothin' but nothin' beats bettin' on bettin' [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

For sure. After we give enough time for all to enter, rebuys would be encouraged.

Nice. A poop sheet. I can just see it. Over/Under on how many times the gay hot tub pic posted in the thread. I'll leave that to the zoo bookie.

could always have a lawyer draft a contract and notarize it so it will be binding. im sure there is at least 1 lawyer on this site.
