I'm bumping myself off and putting me back ontop on the poker blogs because I'm going to bed soon and I don't think $200 in action is worth it's own thread. So reposting
ok, I ran bad today at NL100, so what did I do...
I made a prop bet with a good friend of mine to get my mind somewhere else..
gogo genius!
He is giving me 2.5 to 1 odds that I can not win 100 buyins in 2 weeks at NL.25 6max so I've laid down $100 to his $250
However, I do not feel $100 for $250 will keep my determination and drive up to par for two weeks, so I'm willing to lay down the same bet for two other respected/well known members who would like to join in.
I am willing to take 2 other ppl (well knowns on here) for $100 a piece, or if ur a well known baller on here that obviously $200 is nothing to, then I will do 1 person for the remaining $200.
This is nothing serious, it is more of a spur of the moment type thing for fun, and like I said I don't think $100 will keep my incentive or interest.
I have never done this before nor have I done the math of how I should go about any of this, I am just trusting my gut and going at it.
I feel I will profit in this experience at least mentally if not in my wallet.
Once I have 1 or 2 other people involved, I will post a screenshot similar to this but with a different starting time and no IM:
This is a screenshot of the deal already made and same rules will apply here as well.
If I get action, I will also blog daily results, at least once a day until the prop bet is over.
This bet will start as soon as I get a total of $300 for $750 in action and I post a screenshot with times and balance here.
If your interested and want more details let me know
It should be said I am far from Daut44's or LeatherAsses level so I do not think this will be a breeze for me like it probably would be for some, but I do think I can do this.
It should also be said that my good friend who knows my poker game better than anyone else besides myself thinks I can't and is betting the $250 against me. So two weeks from now we will know who is right
It is a good bet.
I will be going to bed within the next 6 hours, and if I get no action and have not started by the time I wake up tomorrow, then I will start with the prop bet I have now and edit this blog
tc and gl all!

When I made this bet with my friend I didn't do any math in my head, it just seemed right and I want to focus on something else as I am waiting to move in my own place and I am running bad at a semidecent limit so I went with it.
I've still not done any math except just a very vague amount in my head because the more math I start to do the more I think this is not going to be easy at all, in fact very very very difficult
so for me ignorance is bliss here
worse case scenario for me is I'll lose three hundred, time will fly, and I will hopefully learn alot from it
I think most of us have just seen the prop bets for 400 buyins, or 200 buyins and so this seems like nothing in comparison..
but those bets are in a months time, not two weeks
they are also for full ring, not 6 max
and I'm also far from a pro...
annnnd I'm living at home for the next three weeks where chaos is a normality when everyone comes back on Thursday (and I have to pick everyone up at the airport)
so it really surprises me I've not had leaps of ppl offering to take this bet |
quoted from last blog
meant to add when I posted it the first time that I think these are huge differences |

Man, this is tempting, 100$ is a reasonable chunk of my bankroll and I don't like putting it on a prop bet like this. That being said I am like 95% sure you can't do this... |

well like I said I'm gonna go to bed here soon (definitely not starting this now)
when I wake if there are still no takers I'm gonna start with the bet between me and my friend (he doesn't post here)
annnd if there is no other money involved I think that ups the chances of me losing by 30% at least as it's only $100 and will probably not be worth it to me at all after 5 days or a week
but who knows, I do hate to lose
not gonna blog about it tho if no action |

no prob
goin to bed in T-minus 30minutes
when I wake up I will check on here first, even if no other takers I'll still be daily update bloggin unless gawdawaful backs out (which I told him he could before as long as it's before when it starts)
after that I'll post a screenshot of my comp time to match stars time, as well as show my acct balance
that will start the 2 week timer

Meh, putting up 50$ if I could make a deal with someone else to also put up 50$ to make it a 100$ together and if we win we get to split 50$. Sounds like free money but meh, nevermind.
GL with the bet... I guess taking up the bet is +EV for your friend and gawdawful hehe... |

if k4ir0s backs out for the $100, I'll take the other $50 (my $125 along with his $125 to win your $100) with Kilay so you can get started in the morning either way
if they both back out, I'll take the last $250 myself and gambolllll |

I'll take any bet you have left as well. I do post on 2+2, and can verify that I am legitimate to pay you. Hell, even if it's just my $10 to your $25 if you win, I think that would be cool enough in itself. Would make the week more interesting to check back and to see how you are doing. Have never been in a prop bet before and it seemed interesting regardless of the money. So let me know if you want to do it. I know this is my first reply and I finally signed up an account on LP for this but I have been reading here for awhile. If not, it's understandable. |
