blonde poker forum

24 players; provisional prize of $480 - just waiting on payment from ACE2M. 5 players remain.

Rules

1. You must select a team to win in any game from England (EPL down to League 2) or Scotland (SPL down to 3rd Division) each weekend. International/Cup weeks may be void.

2. The game must be a Saturday 3pm KO.

3. You cannot select the same team twice.

4. All selections PMed to me by 12pm on the Saturday. I will then post selections on the public forum. If you forget to pick a selection, you are eliminated. You are also eliminated if you pick a team you have selected in a previous week; PM me after 12; or chose a team not in a 3pm KO.

5. If your selection wins, you move on to the following week. If your team loses or draws, you are out.

6. If in one week every player loses then a rollover will occur and all of the initial players will have the option of paying $20 to be back in the game. No new players may enter.

7. Game finishes when only one player remains.

8. Absolutely no deals.  

9. Gamesmaster's decision is final.

Remaining Players

sovietsong - Arsenal v. WBA
Horneris - Celtic v. Hibs
ChipRich - Celtic v. Hibs
Longy - Celtic v. Hibs
redsimon - Arsenal v. WBA

These rules were put in for a reason. Sovietsong has been trying to instigate a deal and this effects not only the remaining players but all the initial players too.

I'm left with no option but to disqualify Soviet and we are down to 4.

 ;popcorn;

he won't care he wouldn't stop to pick up $20 if he dropped it anyway.

 :o

Level?

Defo been set up.  Scotty can you read the PM i've sent you pls.

good gag Ace, you still grimming for $20?

Any chance of an explanation Scotty?

this is a fking joke

Nope, seen the evidence. Unless it's me that's getting levelled but then it'd be a foolish man who messes with the gamesmaster!

Will discuss through PM.

Scott is not a level type of guy when money is involved.

If he has seen something, i believe him

yeah good comment dave, really helps...

this is a load of bollox. 

nah, won't be much fun without your balla 'i'm so loaded' statements.

perhaps scott could post the story, and get it out in the open?

lol - i wasnt implying i'm balla just saying its pathetic not to pay $20...

both out, both unfairly treated by the 'gamesmaster'

Perhaps he could tell me the story first, and perhaps you could keep your nose out?

WTF, ACE2M just didn't read the rules.

just so everybody knows, I havent done anything wrong.  the details will come out later but for now i'm not going to bother posting as somebody is trying to stich me up as far as i can see.

To me this seems like a statement, yet you have added a ? At the end of it.

Are you looking for a response?

Sorry dave, obviously I'm a bit annoyed, didn't mean to be a dick.

It is clear that somebody can't make a deal with themselves, suggesting I instigated one is wrong.

Loving a $20 competition with so many rules!!!

Can someone explain what happened please?

How can he have broke the rules? unless a deal has been done then surely its not a rule breaker.

Load of bollocks tbh, go drive a bus jobs worth.

maybe you should try running the next one with less rules? Some of the rules can maybe be condensed into each other but then sometimes information will be missed.

Are we going to get to find out what Sov has done? He hasn't tried to strike any form of deal with me.

+1...that leaves two he could've or maybe none?

fwiw, Horneis and Chip Rich both offered me 5% swaps at start of comp. gtfo imo.

il run the next one!

Once everybody has paid I'm gonna dq u all cos I dont like any of you!!

You'd Probably dq yourself :)

Haha but I just won't enter ;)

lol million

Rules are made to be broken IMO!

Fk the rules!!

Reinsate chiprich! Don't let scotty win!!

sigh winnar.  wp rich, will post more details of my terrible stitch up later...

redsimon v longy hu?

OK so obviously I have failed in my plan to wind rich up with a clever and well thought out practical joke.

After hearing Rich was really up for winning LMS, i thought it would be funny if he could get banned.  The idea being he would be out but let back in on say friday, giving him a little sweat and me a childish laugh.

Had three plans in total, first one was get rich to reply to a normal PM, edit it and post on the forum.  Problem of this is pretty obvious, he just comes straight on and says 'that wasnt me'.  So that plans out of the window, next one is strike up a deal and get me, brent and him all banned, this was probably the best plan in hindsight. 

Final plan, the one that was executed so badly goes a bit like this.

I PM Brent and Rich offering deal in which we stitch up the other players.
Brent convinces Rich to agree to deal
I get banned
Blame rich
post fake PM
he gets banned i get back in

So this failed on so many levels i dont know where to start!

Firstly when I PM rich offering a deal he snap says to Brent, shall we tell him to F*** off!  Brent convinces rich to reply, but he takes about 4 weeks (well a day or so), which messes up the timings a bit as straight after he agrees i get banned.  Anyway, what happens next also didnt help... nobody really gave a fk that I had been banned and i did a rubbish job acting annoyed, add to this throughout the time Rich is being a really nice guy, i would post the PM's but i CBA screen printing them!

So then finally we try to flip it on rich, straight away he says its a level, so no chance to post fake PM, that was supposed to be last part. 

All in all, Rich was a class act throughout, BH did a great job but the buck stops with me.  I thought it would be clever to go after Rich but just failed!

I can't show my face in any leeds casinos now so not sure what i'm going to do with my life.

Scotty also knew the plan, and did a good job, esspecially when people gave him a little stick.

I have let myself down and my family.

I am sorry.

So so poor. Expected better from those involved.

you didnt help mate, pretty much first post was 'level'!!!

sigh

Sov it was hard to weigh in, when none of us knew the story of why you were banned. I was gutted for ya but couldnt show my feelings til i heard if you had been up to no good or not.

yeah was too hard to get it set up, if its published that I had set up deal then we couldnt have turned it on rich.  too ambitious!

plus rich was being so fking nice!!!!

Fail.

Although the rule about no deals is stupid. The money belongs to the players still in, they should be able to do exactly what they want with it.

But if a deal is done then that kills off any chance of a rollover and means we cant anti rail everyone thats left in after we get busted out.

gg m8

stop being so nice

also agree that deals in this are a bad idea

That's true, but if the deal is they pick different teams I would have no problem with that.

If theres 2 people left for instance and they decide via PM to chop it up then all that will happen is one of them will pick the biggest banker of the week and the other will pick something a bit iffy in the hope of getting busted, obv this can all go wrong but it will give a very good chance of having a winner rather than getting a rollover.

is this what you did?

;)

The digs at the rules from a few people are pissing me off. The rules are there at the start of the game, if you don't agree with them then maybe it's best to not play.

It's not life changing sums of money so dealing is a little gay anyway.

Game on.

the rules are perfect scotty, everybody loves LMS so dont worry about it.

Obv i Know you jest, but the main stumbling block of trying to pull this off as far as i would be concerned is that i dont really know anyone on here personally so it would be a bit risky to PM someone about a deal incase they ratted you out staright away , If you were HU in the LMS and someone pm'ed you looking for a deal all you gotta do is forward it to Scotty then BOOOM you're a winner .

So in summation, no, its not what i did ;) when i won the last LMS(cheers btw for allowing me a cheap brag)

Trying to do a deal could be fatal so be careful.

The rules are immense, the fact that a rollover can occur when it goes super deep is a decent sweat for everyone who is out and a sick sweat for those left in.

<Insert picture of hammer hitting a nail>

If the rules bothered me that much I wouldn't have played.

Sorry for pissing you off, i was just saying that's all.

Meh i dont think it was really in reference to your post , I could be wrong though, Might be the jobsworth comment that annoyed him, assuming that wasnt part of the great Level that was going on.

Scotty must do an awful lot of work for this (for free) which i think we are all grateful, the idea is good and it works! 

End of.

+1

The person who runs these things has a pretty huge advantage if they play too.

I play an NFL one which is $500 to enter and gets about 50 players.

The guy who runs it is mega shrewd and reguarly goes deep and then his advantage is magnified.

Because they can see who others have picked?

Yep. I guess it's a fair reward for running the thing.

I remember i was suspected of doing this when you won because i picked Bournemouth away.
Now they're doing fine in the league they were promoted to and sold their star striker who was chased by a premier league club.





Makes it look a more believable pick ;)

Wp Jose, Stick to that script ;)

In the ones i run i always send my pick to an independent body before receiving anyone else's. I wouldn't play in one where someone has that level of advantage and it is a huge advantage, especially for $500!!!

Pfffffffff, trying to freeroll from the start..............

lol million

I've never really got past the first few weeks before, but if I got deep I would obviously send to a random early in the week. No real relevance when we are 25-handed.

Can you just send your $20 please? ktb

OP updated

FYP
