But I hope a few of you will play on Monday night, it will be like a blonde Comp, but it's not a blonde Comp, if that makes sense. blonde have NO commercial affiliation with Spoorting Odds.com. I do (personally), but I have no financial interest as to whether you play or not, I am retained by them on a wide range of stuff, but don't get rakeback or anything similar. Correction - I DO have a financial interest - if you play, I can win more money...... It's $10 + $1, & Sporting Odds.com will add $1,000, plus there is a $100 Bounty on me. Last month we had 93 runners, & somehow I managed to finish 2nd. And, in addition to this one on Monday (30th, 8pm), there will be another tikay Tourney on SO.com on Monday 27th February. I was not aware that e-mails had been sent out - but be assured these would have only gone to SO.com Account Holders, some of whom happen to be blondeites. Now, all those guffawing at SO.com's touching but probably misplaced faith in me, sign up for the Tourney, & see if you can take home the lolly. Come & get me! Have to say, it's quite nice to have a Tourney named after me. Embarrassing, but nice, all the same. Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: RED-DOG on January 27, 2006, 04:43:32 AM I'm playing
BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID!!! Be a bit afraid? Well, at least show me some sympathy Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: Trace on January 27, 2006, 09:27:32 AM Can't remember if I signed up for this already?
Can't check either as I'm at work, so if anyone happens to be swinging by SO, can you let me know please? I am so forgetful, I need to set an alarm to remind me to sign up for it. Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: Robert HM on January 27, 2006, 09:43:56 AM Yes TraceT, your in already.
Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: Heid on January 27, 2006, 10:36:46 AM I'm in already.
I actually really quite like SO, the 5k 8pm tourney is a do well or do rubbish tourney for me most nights. Wish they had rakeback though. Heid xx Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 27, 2006, 11:06:39 AM We have 26 runners registered as of this morning, with over 3 days to go, & at this stage before the last one, we only had 4, (ended up with 93) so it's ticking along nicely.
So far as I can tell, we have about 5 or 6 blondeites already registered. Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: Trace on January 27, 2006, 03:19:54 PM Yes TraceT, your in already. Thanks Mr Woolly Jumper. Much appreciated. T xx Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 27, 2006, 03:41:30 PM Did I say 26 registered? Only 25 now!
So who got scared of me? Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 28, 2006, 12:09:30 PM Wow, this could be a sell-out. We have shot up to, err, 26......
Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 29, 2006, 04:34:24 PM ...and now there has been a rush & we have a whopping......30!

Post by: tikay on January 30, 2006, 05:06:55 PM 44 now, & I'm off for my nap. I expect, ooh, at LEAST 50 by the time I get back. Starting to look like we will fall short of last month's figure of 93, but it is what is is I guess. Guess you have realised that the Bounty is not easy to win. Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: NoflopsHomer on January 30, 2006, 05:08:29 PM Guess you have realised that the Bounty is not easy to win. I think it's because people want a challenge... Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 30, 2006, 05:17:44 PM Well, 92 out of 93 found the challenge too tough last month........

Post by: Rod Paradise on January 30, 2006, 06:31:25 PM Sorry Tikay - can't play - they cant find my address & I don't have my Driver's License or Passport No on me.... so I'm stuffed.

Post by: tikay on January 30, 2006, 07:41:02 PM No, there is NOT an affiliate Link, Sporting Odds do not do an affiliate scheme suitable to blonde at present. Neither do I derive any financial benefit irrespective of how many play.

Title: Re: Tikay Invades my Mailbox via Sporting Odds... Post by: tikay on January 31, 2006, 02:03:23 AM Really? Well DONE!
And I SO wanted you to beat thast horrible Kaimac man, he was VERY abusive to folks in the text box. Good structure, eh? 300,000 chips in play, & the blinds were 2k-4k when it finished - terrific, & no excuse for peeps busting out early...... Think my Sporting Odds.com career may be over, sigh.....Gotta report to Head Office tomorrow to tell them how well I represented them in the tourney. Cough. I mean it was just a Moment of Madness on my part, wtf did I think I was doing? I just kinda KNEW I was ahead - I was - & decided to stand firm, oddly similar to the Hand Analysis I Posted last week. But a clear mistake to risk all on what was almost certainly gonna be - & was - a "race", & his K-Q off was good when it hit. Anyway, well done mate, a great result. We will do another - if I survive with them - on February 27th. Record so far - 2nd of 93, & last of 119. There must be a balance somewhere.......
