OT: *STTF-HUC-II* - Blind Draw Calcutta
 
I will organize just ONE Calcutta for the *STTF-HUC-II*. It will be a 32-spot ($50/entry) Blind-Draw Calcutta.

Anybody (all Sttf'ers welcome) who wants to play can xfer $50 to me on Party or Stars...PM me for account info.

Anybody can buy more than one entry. If we don't get 32 paid entries,
I will buy all the remaining spots so that we have a prize pool of $1,550; ($50 vig)....Once all the spots are purchased there will be a "blind draw" performed by 66's / Slacker progeny so that each participant will now "own" one (or more) of the *STTF-HUC-II* players.

McPherzen won the *STTF-HUC-I* BDC and I'm sure he will attest to the pleasure of that little "BooYah"

I was a little surprised that nobody offerred to "buy" an existing spot last year; but given the level of understanding/sobriety, I guess it makes sense.

ToRepeat: All Forum participants are welcome to play the Blind-Draw-Calcutta regardless of whether they are going to the event or not....It's a pretty cheap ($50) way to participate even if you can't manage to be there.

I will not organize either of the other Calcutta's this time around...Way too much effort required &/or nobody seemed to "get-off' on the whole thing anyway (Thank You Gigabet)....If somebody else wants to take a stab; "knock yourself out"

skip,

i would like a spot in the blind draw.

i will also put some work in to the other sidebets/calcutta this year, if i'm reminded especially.

i have no $ in stars right now, so either can i lock up a spot and zap you dough later or can i do it through other means?

What "other means" Nitwit?...Mental Telepathy?...Kidding aside, You're down Dude...Get me the $50 when/how you can.
Tell Yugo to pay me...Owe him?

Let me know if you want help with Live Calcutta(s)...GrekeHaus did a great job of organizing an online site for Calcutta action & sidebets, so check with him.

The sidebets turned out to be fun/popular, so we prolly should do that again....Except that I have a bad feeling that Zen was planning to stiff me for the $Mil if Yugo won [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You're gonna be too skinny to be breaking legs. Maybe you could just send some girls over to his house to have sex with him. That would really make him feel awkward.

skipperbob 12-04-2005 09:16 AM

Re: OT: *STTF-HUC-II* - Blind Draw Calcutta
 
It's a lottery with only 32 tickets (23 already sold)..If you buyin ($50 for one ticket), you will have "pure" odds of 31:1 of winning $1,550....If you get lucky and draw one of the pre-tournament favorites(e.g.Lacky,Raptor,Unarmed), then you have much higher chances of winning....It's called a "Blind Draw" because the ticket-holders will be assigned their players by virtue of a "blind-draw" (all luck)...The drawing will be held as soon as all 32 spots are sold, so each "owner" will know who his "horse" is far in advance of the actual *STTF-HUC-II* and there will be some serious side-betting going on.....Let's suppose you draw Irieguy and I draw Yugo; then I would bet $1 against your $1Mil that Yugo will win [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]....Got it?....Get in!

PS: I do not conduct the drawing...It will be conducted in the presence of 2 respected 2+2'ers (Suited 66's & Slacker) (well maybe not respected, but old anyway) and it will be performed by their children; Kianna (of pink Tutu fame) and James (a bright young man with more sense that his Dad)

I was a little surprised that nobody offerred to "buy" an existing spot last year; but given the level of understanding/sobriety, I guess it makes sense.

ToRepeat: All Forum participants are welcome to play the Blind-Draw-Calcutta regardless of whether they are going to the event or not....It's a pretty cheap ($50) way to participate even if you can't manage to be there.

I will not organize either of the other Calcutta's this time around...Way too much effort required &/or nobody seemed to "get-off' on the whole thing anyway (Thank You Gigabet)....If somebody else wants to take a stab; "knock yourself out"

I'll be happy to use the old calcutta site again to organize a regular calcutta. However, I don't want to put the money up (at least not all of it). So I can either "buy" all the initial entries for $0, which would be really lame, or one or more people can help me put up the initial funds.

Any comments/suggestions about this as well as stakes, payout strucutre, etc would be welcome.

I'm gonna stay busy for a few weks, so likely, the calcutta won't be ready to go for a while anyway.
