Is still kinda rubbish that no one replied. I’m sure lots of blondes played. Would have added some
more fun to it.

Didn't play, got to work these days.  I wouldn't do a last longer anyway.  I think they are pretty detrimental to EV, as you can lose sight of the important result.  If it was a fun comp, it could be a different.

I'm not sure a prop bet should have EV taken into account. Its supposed to just add a but more competition and fun.... Jeez armchair players these days.

I mean seriously, I don't sit there and think hmm will it be +EV to have a little side bet with the blonde community.

You should be playing to win, and making correct decisions, an additional 200 or whatever wouldn't come into my thinking when making a decision.

I have no issue with betting, I do it all the time.  I join fun comps here quite a bit and will happily mess about in fun poker comps with mates.   

I just think last longer bets are very bad.  If you are trying to win a bet with your mate, then that can become more important than the big prize.   I know this happens, as I used to do them in my early days.   I can't remember the last one I did.  Combining a last lomger with a comp with a million up top seems really bad to me.

Rewarding nittiness is very unappealing in a fun bet, it seems more of an anti-fun bet.

I do last longers if we're all playing a $100 comp in Vegas, or a private forum comp, just for a laugh.

Agree that I probably wouldn't be bothering with one in a big comp.

Prob were a few forumites playing, but they wanted to win a mirrion, not a score of a couple other Blondes :D
