DN Matches

if he beats barry in the current match his net for all the matches will be 50k I believe.

actually, even if he beats barry in the current match, he'll be up less than 50k if you include that 15k side bet that barry will own daniel in 2/3 of the first matches. believe it or not, this bet was offered at even money (!)

However, I'm sure his agent is looking at this kind of chest thumping self promotion as ways to sell STACKED, get more endorsements, and then finally unleash a book when the DN fervor is at a crescendo.

OTOH, I don't think Daniel is doing these matches for monetary considerations. I think he's just a wildly irresponsible gambler and an egomaniac.

You are correct sir...but id venture to guess Wynn is gonna be more than willing to reimburse any losses...that is if it wasnt wynn's money to begin with. Advertising costs..

I guess we'll be correcting the misinformed for as long as these matches continue.

Negreanu has stated in no uncertain terms that he is putting up all the money for these matches (unless he sells part of himself to friends).

In addition, I believe it was Sklansky who mentioned it would be a violation of Nevada gaming laws for Wynn to provide any backing to Negreanu for this.

I suppose by misinformed you mean those people who have a life outside sweating the minutia of day 2 day poker current events. Sometimes postin on 2+2 can be so dard depressing.

Plus how naive are you if you believe those gaming rules cannot be circumvented in about a million different ways.

Since we are still talking about it I guess Wynn is a genious afterall...

i think you are dead wrong in asserting that there would be any violations.

DN could be doing it looking toward impressing the new boss, banking the publicity will payoff soon in merchandising/publishing etc. i also believe as well that there may be a tad of degeneracy in there.

no need to circumvent laws, and if you think this way then you probably think online poker is rigged, and you cheat on your taxes. am i right?

How responsible can a person be who keeps all of his money in a non-interest bearing safe deposit box?

For some reason I found this quote very comical..... I do recall a time when I joined that Zaxx had 3.4 posts in every thread.

Looks like somebody has been watching to much Tilt. There is no way Steve Wynn would risk getting in to trouble with the gaming commision over poker, the least profitable game in his brand new casino. Yeah put millions and millions he has invested and the billions he stands to make over poker you believe that you are the naive one.
