Here it is: I will sign up and play 45 person turbos on May 18th and have to win 20 of them. I am allowed to sign up for any turbo 45 person between 12am (midnight) of the 18th and allowed to start any 45 person at the latest of 11:59pm of the 18th. Therefor i am allowed to sign up for about 24 hours but would be able to finish my last sngs so would most likely end up playing for around 25 hours. I am allowed to play any stake between $1.10 and $60.
to bet against me you have to give me 7/4 odds. ie you put up 700 and i put up 400.
--imamackem has already said he will put up $700. I am looking to put up at most 1k of my own money so still looking for others to bet against me.
more info about me:
-pretty sure i've never played poker over 12 hours straight before.
-i have good multitabling skills though and know i can play a lot at once
-my mouse still isn't fixed and lags on my screen so that will probably come into play and piss me off and make it harder to play more tables
-i've only stayed awake from midnight to midnight once in my life ( it was for a good cause raising money for kids with cancer) , so might have to take a quick nap sometime in this period, hopefully not though
i will also provide my cell number to anybody betting against me that can call me at anytime to prove its me playing. (shouldn't be a problem since most of my friends don't play and the ones that do have never played over 10 tables at a time so shouldn't be a problem with worrying that its multiple people playing)
-i'm sure if people wanted to they could also have it so somebody calls once an hour or 2 and has me tell them somethign that only i would know while playing like number of games playing or something at a certain table.
--i will be holding the money for this bet. I have held money for other prop bets before. I have also put up and allowed others to hold $2k of my money in a prop bet last year (i ended up losing $1600 of it when i quit my prop bet). You can also sharkscope me and opr me to know that i wouldn't be trying to steal 1 or 2 thousand from people.
-if for some reason you still don't trust me to hold i'm sure we could get an admin to hold the money if you don't want me to.
edit: also i have two forms of internet (one backup), but if for some reason i lose internet or power for longer than 30mins the bet is off. odds of this happening are very bad, the only time this could happen is basically with horrible storms that knock out power in the area. i have a wireless card so that will work almost all the time and that is my backup if my ethernet goes out. I do not expect this to be a problem at all however. just a precaution
edit2: if you want to bet with me, tell me in this thread and let me know when you send the money so that i can verify. pharreal87 on pokerstars. should be city (cedar rapids)
to verify we can use a few things, i am going to enable it so i will have all cashes sent to my e-mail, i can post all of them in this thread, i can probably get a representative from stars to post here to say wether or not i have done it, maybe an admin here can look up all of my stats and find out aswell?.
once people send the money post it here so i know you have sent and i will reply and confirm that i have received.
-and yes, i'll take pretty much any bet as long as the better puts up at least 21 against me.
alright, getting close to the 18th. if you said you were going to bet against me or would like to please send the money soon, pharreal87 on poker stars (cedar rapids), post in here when you do and i will verify. i need to know soon just so i know how much people are betting to know how hard i need to look for action elsewhere.
Hi pharreal87,
I will still be interested in this bet providing a few things-
1. the 7/4 odds i give you were playing midnight to midnight like you said in your first thread.
2. if your internet goes off then its just hard luck unless you have some way of proving this?
3. i would rather ss admin hold the money - its not the fact that i dont trust you but i dont know you to trust you.(if that makes sense)
hope this is not a problem
signing up from midnight to midnight, i'm sure my internet will be fine --since i have two, the only thing that this would basically be for is if the power went out in my area---which could be proven, we can get an admin to hold.
is that cool imamackem?
working on an admin to hold but they haven't responded yet
imamackem you there?
if i don't hear from you very soon we may have to postpone (sp?) this until tomorrow or thursday. by then i'm sure we can definitely find somebody to hold for sure also.
hope to hear from u soon though.
ok, bet is postponed until we can settle where all money is being sent and everything, any admin please comment in this thread if you can hold and imamackem get back to me as well.
I'm open to being the escrow for this prop bet, providing we start after friday. I'm a bit tied up until then, and I would like to see this go down in full. SharkScopeAdmin and I are both co-owners of this site.
Hi there pharreal87/dbirider,
I am going on holiday 9am gmt.on the 20th (Thursday) and i wont be back untill the 28th. Can we sort things out for a later date and this will help you get some more cash involved from others?
i'm fine with that. can we get the details out of the way now though. you ok with signing up for 24 hours, basically 25 hours to win? i'm sure both internets won't go out but if for some reason power goes out for longer than half hour and it can be proven from power company or something than bet can be called off. the odds of this happening is about 200-1 so we really don't have to worry about it..
i'm thinking i'm going to change the time of running the bet from noon to noon. dbrider is it possible to keep track of wins from certain hours by you?

Yeah, we have a few options for that. You can view the last 250 results on sharkscope, or export your data to a spreadsheet to see your full history. If you want to graph your result on sharkscope, you can search for your last x# of games.
i'm sure i won't play any games within 24 hours of the prop bet so i could just search previous 24hrs/last two days and it will show for just past 24 hours or so. i will talk to stars to see if they could get somebody to come to this forum and post also. i'm sure we'll figure it out.
yes i will still be up for it.
I will post when i get back
gl at the tables
hi m8y
have you managed to get things sorted then?
have you managed to get anymore people to back against you to make it worthwhile?
haven't really tried but not sure if i could get much more to bet against. with your 700 i can probably only get another 200 elsewhere without looking again.
so shall we just call it off then?
I'm still up for being the middle man, if we do it in the next 2 weeks.
we can call it off for now, if we feel like talking about it later this summer or something i'm down.
or feel free to offer up any other prop bet or challenge, preferably not a 24hour straight one and i'll be down to look into a lot.
ill take 35 for 20 if that isnt too small bit short on funds at the moment. how are you going to verify the 20 wins? Also presuming you are going to do all 1.10 pretty much as your edge will be huge there.
