Title: Selling Vegas action Post by: Rupert on May 26, 2008, 11:52:31 PM Hey guys,
I'm out in Vegas from 15th June - 17th July and plan to play around $10k-$15k of side events at Rio/Bellagio/Venetian. I also intend to play the WSOP main event. The plan is to play most $1k-$3k events running. I'll be selecting events which I will have the highest ROI in which means the priority lies at the Rio. I am not bankrolled to play $1.5k events so am looking to sell around 50% of my total action. I'm selling side event action at the rate 1.3 which means 1% will be around $130-$200 depending on how much I play. Main event action will be $140 for 1% (1.4).

I've also won various tournaments at my local casinos ( DTD , The Isle, Gutshot) with zoo-like standards much similar to how I anticipate the WSOP to be. I am very happy in my tournament game, always strive to maximize EV in hands, and can rival most in general ability. Hand reading, pushbotting, trapping, seeking out good spots to steal are my strongest points. There are several players who can vouch for me but perhaps not so many that are well known round here, I guess the best known here is Ben (Sunday8pm) who is a good friend of mine. I guess the best I can do is give you my personal assurances that I would never ever cheat anyone out of any amount of money. If you are interested, feel free to PM me or post here. If you have any questions or just fancy flaming me (I don't mind i'm cocky enough not to care!) then also post :) Thanks for reading Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: Karabiner on May 27, 2008, 12:01:00 AM I hope you've got armour-plated skin and a hard hat.

I wish you luck but selling shares is not easy. You need to have an exceptional record to charge a premium of 1.3 / 1.4 . When i came 5th in the $10,000 PLO WSOP event in 2005 for $93,000 i had sold shares at 1.5 but in November 2004 i had won the PLO at the Amsterdam Master Classics and ended the year top of the European PLO rankings , i returned to Amsterdam and came 2nd of 246 , but i have hardly played for 2 years so when i go to Vegas 15th to 22nd June and play the $1500 PLO with rebuys for which i have budgeted $6000 as that was last years average i would only sell at 1.2 per 1%. I am also playing the $2000 Pot Limit Hold-em ( if i haven't made the final of the PLO ) but as my only win in this game was during the European Championships at the Vic in 1997 i would not consider selling any shares. All the best ACES Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: Graham C on May 27, 2008, 12:19:50 PM Good luck.

I may even go odds on :D Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: charmaine on May 27, 2008, 12:22:33 PM Cant help but wish you luck :)
Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: stoneii on May 27, 2008, 12:30:35 PM Quote I'm selling side event action at the rate 1.3 which means 1% will be around $130-$200 depending on how much I play. Main event action will be $140 for 1% (1.4). No Ta but good luck, at those rates my humble suggestion would be to start with friends and family! Cheers stoneii Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: AndrewT on May 27, 2008, 12:31:18 PM Rupert I think your best bet is to try and tap up people away from poker - people on here will know you're being comically over-optimistic with your figures, given your experience and record.
Someone who doesn't really understand poker will be much more likely to invest. Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: Sunday8pm on May 27, 2008, 12:34:18 PM Guys, lump on at 1.3! Good price i think for an in-form competant player
GL mate Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: ariston on May 27, 2008, 12:40:38 PM inform and competant doesnt really mean that mark up ben be realistic. Skalie last year sold a couple of 10%s in himself at spot to firends and other players. I have sold a couple of 5%s the same but you cant expect any poker player to back someone at a premium with no track record.
If Skalie was to come on here with the same offer he wouldn't have a problem selling a peice of himself but gl with this offer imo you haven't got a chance. Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: The Camel on May 27, 2008, 12:41:58 PM I would be interested in buying a piece of your Main Event action only.
There are very few players I would pay a premium for side events.. but if you are short for the Main Event, give me a PM nearer the time and we maybe can work something out. GL. Title: Re: Selling Vegas action Post by: Rupert on May 27, 2008, 05:15:51 PM Thanks for all the good lucks. I came up with the prices having consulted a friend who is a well known online player and backs several people. I've been backed by his group of backers in the past but unfortunately wasn't in enough make up for them to stake me at the WSOP.

I would have happily bought a little share myself but I don't pay a premium on an unknown quantity and imo not many would.
