new Dutch Boyd auctions

[jdl22]

Dutch's previous auction got taken down. He's back with several new ones. Here's a link to one of them. Here's what his blog says:

Grrrr... so after a few days of getting bids, I got an email from eBay on Friday saying they were taking the auction down because (1) I had a link to the site and (2) I had some search terms in the title that didn't relate to the auction (WPT?). I think it's for the best... got an email from a guy who said that the Copenhagen tournament was already sold out, so I'd probably have been in a bad spot if the listing DID sell.

I think what I'm going to do is pick another tournament and try another listing. Probably one of the WSOP $10k circuit events. Look for the auction later on today. Will be putting it up after a few tournaments.

Looks like whoever reported him got the job done.

For a genious he's not very good at arithmetic. Here's a paragraph from his auction:
[ QUOTE ]
Winner of this auction will receive a 1% stake in my performance in the tournament (e.g. if I place low in the money and receive $10,000, winner will receive $2,500... if I win the tournament and receive $500,000, winner will receive $125,000). The auction price is starting at exactly 1% of the total buy-in.

1% is worth more than I thought.

I heard that Dutch won a seat on Paradise for the $10K NLH event at the Catch a Rising Star tournament. 1st is expected to be $1M.

Yea, it appears he's selling some 1% stakes and some 25% stakes, and he's incapable of changing the description for the two auctions.

[jdl22]

btw Boyd said on his site something implying he paid you back at least some of the money. Can you confirm or deny that?

[crazy canuck]

Any truth to this?

2+2 thread

Also, staking somebody for a single tournament is like staking a ring game player for 100 hands. Positive expectation or not it's pure gambling.

[MS Sunshine]

I understand that it is assumed I would answer this question freely, but I can't confirm or deny it.
