HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

If you are interested in participating in a NCAA-leaderboard type competition, please reply to this thread and how much you are interested in playing for (it will probably be either $100 or $500).

The bracket can be found here

Click on "Predict it!" at the top of the page, and submit your entry (you have to register). We can work out the payment details later, since they are separate from the "Predict it!" engine.

Someone should also be nominated/volunteer to hold the money in escrow (I do not want to be the one to do it).

Someone please explain how an NCAA-leaderboard type competition works.

You just pick the winners for every match all the way through - but you do it all before the first match is played. Then each winning selection is assigned a point value - maybe 1st round is worth 1 point, 2nd 2 etc. Then at the end, the person who has the most points wins. It's really simple - hope this makes sense.

The reason that the later rounds get more points is because you had to get the previous rounds right in order to get the correct answer for the later rounds (obviously).

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

Ok, thanks. I pretty much figured that, was mainly interested in the scoring.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

im up for this, but we should get this rolling before the 1st matches start (obviously)

im in for 100-200 range...

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD

I'm definitely game for the 100-250 range. Maybe let's try to keep it reasonably priced so that it can have broader participation. If you really want to gamble a lot of money, you should have signed up to play.

Someone needs to be nominated to hold the money for this
 

I think bruiser would be a good choice since he's a trusted member of these forums and he's not playing in the tournament, and since I probably won't participate in the sidebet myself you probably don't want me to do it. But however you guys decide to do it I (obviously) recommend getting it started ASAP.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I'm in for 200. I think the buy-in needs to be the same for everybody for the pay-outs to be predictable, no?

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

Bettors,

FYI, HU is my worst NL game. I still pick me, though.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I'm in for however much you guys want. Winner take all or are we giving multiple prizes?

IMPORTANT
 

Zeebo just dropped out. So we won't be making any picks until I get a replacement, which should be very soon.

Re: IMPORTANT
 

I'd be up for anything as well. The bigger, the better [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I will take Zeebo\'s place
 

Provided the first game is not this weekend and weekday games can be played between 8-11 EST. Weekend anything goes.

Just put me in if it works. I will pay Monday 12/12 prior to game one - let me know who to pay. I will be any from the internet until then.


Strassa you are mine.

well yeah buy-in has to be the same, but i was thinking we could run a 100 and a 500 pool separately

but a 200 sounds good to me

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I made a bracket, who is going to hold the money? and how much will it be.

I hope it is winner take all.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

i'm in for 100-200

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I think Kurosh should hold the money.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I think Kaz the Original should hold the money.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

alright i say we make this a $200 bet. whos going to hold the money?

also everyone whos in this should put their picks here, because posts arent editable after like 5 minutes i think

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

Dude - you do your picks within the software duron set up, that way no one else sees them. You guys need to work on your gambling.

I think you might need to brush up on your gambling.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

HAHAHA.

I'm willing to give up small edges to keep the donks happy.

Re: HU TOURNAMENT LEADERBOARD SIDEBET THREAD
 

I'm not sure what will happen to the picks if I change Zeebo's entry to someone else.

You can see the other people's picks in the software.

Re: IMPORTANT
 

Then it sucks. You think I would actually do research before responding?

Re: IMPORTANT
 

If everyone can see my picks then it's going to be like a 50 way chop. Forget it.

Re: IMPORTANT
 

Great work Durron - It may be worth participating after all.
