Default Re: SIDE BET: 2 accounts in top 5 emp leaderboard????

I would say this takes about 8 hours of playing every day for a month which should be quite doable.

So i'm not taking the bet, but i'm curious if someone else will. Keep us updated [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Watch out....sponger has been climbing the ladder and is at 102 right now!

Maybe if I could get out of the depression that is a 39 buy in downswing and play some, I could actually make it somewhere on the top 50.

Better watch out now if this bet gets taken because I'll be a big hindrance trying to accomplish the same thing. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Top 5 is going to probably be minimum 33k-35k for 5th next month. That would have taken 1st in the previous months but last month just set a precedent for crazy people. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well, she was an employee at the company that was headhunting me... They flew me down, to interview a few times, and find a house... she was the person to show me around town... Needless to say, it happened a few times that weekend.

I didnt find out she was sleeping with the boss till a few weeks later, and had to decline the job. =/

Anyone who actually took this bet against you for $5K+ would have to be insane

In fairness of full disclosure, I'm going to the East Coast/Europe for 5 weeks starting July 9th, so you'll have one less volume player to compete against next month...

The only way someone takes this bet is if they set up a team and try to block you out of the top 5. Even this will be tough b/c you still only need 2/5 spots and they will need 4/5 spots. The only reason they might take this bet is you will likely go on tilt, play higher limits until you finally go broke about half way through the month. Then you will be easy pickins.

My guess is no one takes this bet.

i need the 5k+ so i have motivation to actually make myself play that damn much on 2 accounts.

You need the 5K? Wouldn't the 5K be pretty insignificant compared to the amt of cash you'd generate from the playing in that month alone? Variance hitting you bad or something?
