Default Re: A Special One Time Offer!!!

A thought just occurred to me.

Getting 11:10 odds on Sklansky in a 7-stud hi-lo no qualifier vs DN is definitely a good bet, no?

So why not set up something like the corporation to put together the cash? Sklansky said he would be willing to play at 33,000 - 30,000. 2+2 as a whole could put up the rest of the cash and get 77,000 - 70,000.

Granted, the logistics of this could be pretty frightening. But a good bet is a good bet, and if we spread the risk around we could do very well.

Thoughts?

Will

Hi Will:

We can't do anything on Two Plus Two that can be construed as if we are taking bets. That could get us into legal trouble and I think that what you are proposing would come under this category.

Sorry,

mason

Daniel,

Forget David and Mason. Here's the guy you need to beat:

You're missing a decent calculator.

I guess I shouldn't have bought it on discount....

But after correcting I'm still confused:

4/9=44.4%
10/21=47.6%

Doesn't this mean that David believes his chances of winning are between these two numbers?

[/ QUOTE ]

Notice that both of those numbers are 5% less than his range. So that is probably the cushion that Sklansky would require want to play against Daniel.

considering the turn-out last night, these challenges will continue. i'd be suprised if steve w isn't helping to back some (if not all) of these endeavors. they will continue to pack the place if david o. v daniel can draw that well...just imagine what more recognizable names will do.

Why would Wynn put up hundreds of thousands of dollars to get (a few dozen?) people into his casino to watch the game. It's not like the match is getting any publicity for Wynn.

[/ QUOTE ]

You can't truly be serious can you? I'm not disputing Daniel's claim that he is staking himself, but to think that this is getting no publicity is ridiculous. I heard mention of it on FOX NEWS. This isn't just a "Poker Thing" this is a WYNN thing. When Wynn does anything, it gets attention.

I haven't read all of this thread, having come here via RGP.

Does anyone else think this is an imposter?

No. It is definitely him or an authorized surrogate using his account.

Not much you can do to stop a 75 speed in average condition.
