Grosvenor changing rules regarding deals?

[tikay]

Now you are getting the idea Russ. Don't forget El Blondie - he is under consideration, too.

Was it greg who originally set the challenge? Why not start a thread on it and set some rules up for the match. It has to be done this we cannot have you guys bottling out after all the barracking and banter. Yes the Walsall lot should be allowed to played the winners (straight up the M6 guys juction 32 M55). We are going to have to get teams agreed before the match (no last minute surprises Tikay!!!!).

The problem at Walsall lies in the pay-out structure. It's so ridiculously top heavy that people know that 1 piece of luck will mean they go home with peanuts, even if they place well. What's the answer? They make a deal to assure they get something decent for their efforts.

Stopping deals won't change much. It may mean the player's 'word' is of more significance, but deals will still happen.

What needs to be examined is the pay-out structure. This is what urges most people to make deals. Would a more progressive increase be more appropriate? Often, the guy who has come 2nd has played just as well, if not better, than the guy in 1st, yet gets a hell of a lot more.

I'm sure many will disagree, but that's my view anyhow.

They have recently changed the payout structure after many complaints, the next thing is trying to get them to change the amount of starting chips.

Really? How has it changed. Last time I went down 10th - 5th got practically the same.

Hi Guys.

Are you all nicking my best ideas??

I've been putting some serious thought into an intercasino challenge whilst sat here nursing my fractured foot.

I do believe Luton and Reading had one a few years ago now. Someone should ask Carmel. Also, as for Ali Mallu being a Salford player? I've been in Blackpool for 10 years and he has been playing there that long at least. Salford opened 5 years or so ago. No contest he is a Blackpool boy. Altho I think he is a regular everywhere.

to go back to the original thread tho. No deals is not the rule. All competitions must be played to a conclusion and the prize structure adhered to. A chip count is not a "Deal" as it is specified in the rules as the conclusion to a game if it hasn't finished by a certain time.

Anyhow thats just my ha'penny worth.

Went to Blackpool for the first time in a few weeks today to be told when 4handed that deals where not allowed (not within earshot anyway). The four of us all went for a cigarette and when we came back we all went alin amazingly- the remaining players did it again on the next 2 hands as well. Then we retired to another area of the casino to chop it ourselves. Very silly rule and going to be very difficult to uphold. As for the intercasino challenge I was informed yesterday that there wouldnt be a problem with chips and dealers if it is held on either Monday or Wednesday afternoon (there are no finals on those days). I look forward to playing against some of my best pals representing Notts! (aparantley Womble once had a pee and a sandwich from the services near Nottingham so he was informed yesterday at the Vic that he is now a Notts player  ).

and who told you that Russ? chips n dealers i mean? nothin been mentioned to me lol oh well more overtime i guess lol


anyway regardin deals, the way we been doin it here in blackpool is that deals can no longer be discussed at the table, thus stopping play in the final, however should the players decide to chop it themselves away from the table then juts whack everything all in then its fine as far as i know (well thats how i beeen doin it for the last 2 weeks lol). its just the good old GB stompin there authority and we need to keep em happy lol
