How does \"getting a piece\" of a player hold up?
While I only took 1 business law class in college, it was the only A+ I ever got......I like to argue. And I do remember something along the lines of a "gambling" contract is not a legal contract.....if I remember correctly the, the Prof. used the example of lottery groups in offices where one person buys the tickets but a bunch of people throw in money......the textbook answer was that if the "owner" of the ticket was a prick, then the others were S.O.L.
Please correct me if/when/where I am wrong. Oh...just to wade through my ramblings, my question is, how do you KNOW the guy is going to pay back the cut they owe you if they win?

Originally I was thinking this would be great, but unfortunatly there is no way to be sure that the winner will honor the deal. I mean, if people are going to short the tsunami fund then they will short anything. My next thought about going forward without stars is this. We all send someone like granny the money. Then we start having elimination rounds of ten player "tables". So the 100 people are divided into ten tables of ten. Then we asign each person a number between 0 and 9. To pick a player from each group we could use the last digit from the hand number from the next partypoker BB jackpot hit (or some other random event). Repeat for "final table" of the ten winners. Granny then transfers the 10 dimes to the winners stars account and winner is free to buy in or cash out. After typing that all out it seems a little convoluted. If anyone else has any other ideas im all ears. Failing that, we could wait for stars to come around at the end of April. Tuco.

Update
I emailed Lee Jones yesterday about this idea and bringing it to stars for several reasons. First and foremost being that most of us have an account there. IMO it would be great for them, as it would increase their chances of having the winner come from there..
He emailed me back today with some concerns and asked me to wait for a couple weeks. Don't really want to wait too long so im wondering if I should approach a site like Truepoker (where I dont even have an account) to host it. Alternatively, we could do it without a sites' help. Thoughts? Tuco.

Re: Update
I think it should be a high Card MTT [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
ten tables... high card win Final table... high card the winner of the seat. Guys I would do and maybe I can if I get some hot cards, but I just cashed out part of my roll. (getting back to atleast 2/4 is important right now) SWUSC

Re: Update
Hi,
I could do this, everyone pays the $100 to me, I'd enter too. I'll "randomly" pick a winner. When I, oops, I mean, the winner, goes to the WSOP, we can all cheer him on. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] - Tony P.S. I'd enter this too except I don't think I have a chance of winning the WSOP.

Re: Zoo WSOP 2005 raffle
[ QUOTE ]
Can we buy multiple raffle tickets? [/ QUOTE ] For sure. After we give enough time for all to enter, rebuys would be encouraged. [ QUOTE ] Any side-bets on the odds certain posters will win the raffle? [/ QUOTE ] Nice. A poop sheet. I can just see it. Over/Under on how many times the gay hot tub pic posted in the thread. I'll leave that to the zoo bookie. Tuco.
