WSOP ME fantasy team?
I was thinking of doing a fantasy deal for the ME. Maybe we all throw 25 in and pay say 10% of the people that do it. I realize noone in here knows me but I'm willing to give a moderator several things to verify I am who I am. Or Maybe someone like Sklansky would be willing to hold the money.
Something like we put up 25$ a piece and choose 10 players. Then say 5000 people play in the ME. Maybe the top 250 get points. 1st = 1000 2nd = 975 3rd = 950 etc Please don't flame with all the flaws as I'm sure there are many. Instead of that help me out. I just thought it would be something to help sweat the ME. |

Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?
In order for this to work you need:
a) A middleman who everyone trusts (Granny?) who can collect the money and do the payout b) Have everyone in the competition have an account at the same site (Stars?) to expedite transferring the funds to the middleman and for the payout |

It could be netteller, PayPal, or any # of sites. I don't know Granny, nor do I know Sklansky..but if the masses trust em then I'm all for it. |

This is a good/fun idea. Would there be a "draft", or could everybody own the same players (i.e., everybody could have Dan Harrington on their team, etc.)?

But my initial thought was you can pick who you want. The only one I've been a part of was on fullcontact poker where you rate your own players. Like from 1 - 10. It's obvious I need help here. But if we could figure out a way to each get any ten players. Rank them and based on how they do and how we had them ranked would determine the # of points. |

Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?
An easy way to do this might be to use actual $$$ won in the ME as the "point keeping" system. For example, if Dan Harrington wins $200,000, and you have Harrington on your team, you get 200,000 points. Serpentine draft, each team picks 10 guys. Of course, whoever picks the actual ME winner would very likely win the pool, but this system might work pretty well.

Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?
chances are...noone would pick the winner as it is likely to be someone none of us have ever heard of before (i.e. moneymaker, raymer, varkyoni). But sounds like a good idea.

Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?
I basically "borrowed" this system from FCP who "borrowed" it from The Commerce's point system.
1st 250 2nd 249 3rd 248 4th 247 5th 246 6th 245 7th 244 8th 243 9th 242 10th 241 so on.... Rank multiple 1 20 2 19 3 18 4 17 5 16 6 15 7 14 8 13 9 12 10 11 So if you had P Ivey ranked 2nd and he won the tourney it would be 250 x 19 = 4750. Then if you had Miami John 10th on your ranking and he came in 5th you would get 11 x 246 = 2706. So your total would be 2706 + 4750 = 7456 |

I would be interested if the semantics can be worked out.

Re: WSOP ME fantasy team?
I would be up for this.
I think 20 players with the points being allocated as the square root of the winnings makes a lot of sense. That way the numbers aren't too astronomical, and it gives proper weight to first place over 3rd place, for instance, rather than just an extra two points. Should we also add a weight based on how we "rank" each of our picks? I know that was discussed earlier. It would definitely make things a bit more complicated, but could still be done. It could also serve as a pretty good tiebreaker, as it's still *possible* that people would pick the same 20 people, but there is really no way they would pick them in the same order. But yeah, good idea, will make watching the live updates a lot more fun for me. |
