Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: henrik777 on August 10, 2006, 10:51:16 PM 87400000 according to cp. :D
Hard to count exactly i imagine. Colouring up can't always be exact either is it ? Sandy Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: saphire1 on August 10, 2006, 10:57:55 PM i asume the chip numbers to be exact, player have to count there chips exactly at the end of each day,and these figures are published. colouring up will add to the total number but 2,140,000 ? no way
Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: Ironside on August 10, 2006, 11:00:45 PM you also have the people that take chips off the table during small buy in comps and add them to there stack during the 10k event
mind you thats alot of chips to sneak on and off the table Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: Robert HM on August 10, 2006, 11:33:47 PM colour ups could partly explain it

With 8,773 entrants in the main event, there should've been $87.73 million in chips in play Thursday, but there were $90.14 million on the table. "Racing for chips,'' said Gary Thompson, director of sports and entertainment marketing for Harrah's. "All the color-ups. We've had at least six.''

Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: Karabiner on August 11, 2006, 10:26:18 AM It seems like a lot of extra chips, around 3% of the total.
Can any TD's tell us what %age is usual ? Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: saphire1 on August 11, 2006, 01:19:52 PM i think colouring up would add an additional 300k maximum a realistic figure would be 130k

Title: Re: WSOP numbers dont add up Post by: saphire1 on August 11, 2006, 01:50:31 PM COPYED FROM BARNEY HENDON MOB A lot of people were given the wrong information about their playing day.
On day one A apparently there were nearly 200 stacks that were blinded off. Many players came back another day and got a second stack. This was a huge advantage for day one A players who picked up a lot of freee chips and came back on day two with bigger stacks |
