Anyone know if there is a market or a list of confirmed runners anywhere? ???

Hi Russ.

There will be markets formed by both Betfair & Intertops I believe, but not until the list of runners is known.

Both companies generally let us know when they form a market on poker events, so if & when they do, we will let you know straight away.

Who's your fancy? (and that's a poker question...)

whos my fancy? Mercier of course :-*  As for the poker I think we could be in for the first final with a few "faces" on it. The slow structure should IMO favour the likes of Trumper rather than the aggresive scandie type player. Simon is also due a bit of luck in one of these. Willie is also on fire at the minute and I will be certainly having a few quid on him. Lively outsider may be that rather talkative bloke russ cawley  ;)

Hi Guys,

After all the fun of Vienna (it wasn't too much fun because Pascal was popular with our customers :( ), we now have our betting on site for the Monte Carlo Main Event which starts on Wednesday.

Please visit the following link http://www.intertops.com/sportsbook/cgi-win-2/itwww.exe?app=itbet.exe?scrncd=BO;spofno=350544

Regards,
Mike

SHOCK HORROR!

Hold up guys, a word of warning before you plunge on the obvious value bet, a man who made the money (just) in the Deauville EPT, & missed the money (just) in the Vienna EPT - tikay....!

Seriously, unless I can win a last chance satellite on Tuesday, I shan't be playing the biggie. :(

So before plunging your life savings on the 'ol fella, wait a few days. And if I do happen to qualify, my suggestion is....still wait!

But at least I shall be able to concentrate on bringing you guys Live Updates from the very off, so it's not all bad.

By the way, a word of thanks to my special buddy Julian Thew, who offered to buy a bit of me in this week's Monte Carlo EPT when he realised I was not going to play due to the high entry cost. Now THAT's an act of faith, eh?

Who to bet on, then? Well, by his own admission, William Hill's Yoyo Thew had a mare in Vienna. He don't often play bad twice in a row, & I know he's itching to do well in what will be the European season's biggest ever tourney. He has 3 EPT money finishes this season already, and that's no coincidence.

And if you fancy two against the field, well blonde's own Dave Colclough is sure to give a good account of himself, & he has a habit of showing well in the bigger comps. After scooping 70,000+ against a really good field in Walsall, I expected him to go well in Vienna. He was as low as 2,000 chips at one stage, & clawed his way back to an above average 20,000, before he had his Aces cracked.

Dip your bread!

Having sat with him for the best part of 10 hours in Vienna.  I would say the Italian Luca Pagano is a good bet although didn't see a price quoted (mike??)

Blondie is good value also.  Devilfish not been doing it recently so could be good to be against him!

i agree Junior, Luca has a good game,, & I thought his exit hand in Vienna was particularly cruel. He went pretty deep, & with a bit of luck, he would have been in the shake-up.

Having had just a quick look at the market (incomplete of course but not a bad opening one) three people stand out apart from my above mentioned tips. Julian Gardiner, Lucy and Noah are all very nice looking prices. Still think the current form of Willie will at least get him to the final though. Think I will probably wait for the betfair market to open before I commit any of my hard earned though.

Ariston its not ever hard earned with you  ;)

Apparantly Raymer, Moneymaker and Eric Seidal are playing but they aren't on the list!

and don't forget me Mel Lofthouse :)   got 18th in EPT Deauville and going for the biggie in Monte

Thanks for the replies to the earlier posting, Guys and Gals.

Updated odds for the Monte Carlo Main Event are now available with a few notable additions (Thanks for the names of players who should be added, it is most appreciated)

Happy Punting,
Mike

if i was a betting man i would do a wild card tricast

1st padraig parkingson
2nd kevin o'connell
3rd caprice

if I was a betting man, i would be completely potless. Poker is bad enough!!

However I think a slower structure in M Carlo will suit a more traditional player.

I'm looking for a "name" to win it

I'll have a crack at Whacker Bush going a long way in it.

What about a special blondepoker bet? Could langboy give odds for anyone registered on this forum making the final table ie: Mr Colclough, Julian, Russ, Mel, Aces or Ben.

Wow, now THAT's an interesting idea Mike!

But I guess the players would HAVE to be named. There are quite a number of players (well, a few...) registered on the blonde forum, but they dont all give their true identity. And we would not wanna rob the poor bookie, now would we........?

Great piece of thinking Mike. Over to the bookies now.......

talking about betting on events

lucy rocash has won the last 3 events i have played in the vic (knocking me out of 2 of them on the way )whats the odds on her making it 4 in a row at the end of the month?

if i get 75-1 or greater i might put 20 on to try and pay for my trip

Okay Folks,

You have got my well and truly on the hook now.

If I use these names...Dave Colclough, Simon Trumper, Mel Lofthouse, Julian Thew, Ben Grundy and Richard Gryko

PLUS ANY other names you would like added as "Blondes", then I can get a Monte Carlo Final Table Bet Offer posted this afternoon.

So, any more names, please???

Ariston is going to be there, I think is name is Russ. I am sure he will pop up soon to give his surname if you don't know it!

Hi Again Folks,

Don't say that I never bow to the wishes of the adoring public.

The bet offer is now on our website under the title "Blonde Bombshell !" and the players involved are Dave Colclough, Simon Trumper, Julian Thew, Ben Grundy, Mel Lofthouse, Russ Cawley and Richard Gryko.

Odds are 7/4 for any of the above named to reach the Final 9 and, before anyone complains, I would like to point out that one of our competitors (who shall be nameless but his brother is named Jesse James!) offer just 3/1 for The Blonde One to make the Final 10 on his own!!!!

http://www.intertops.com/sportsbook/cgi-win-2/itwww.exe?   is where to find the bet for those interested.

Where is the Valooooo? As Mr Kendall would say.

Could anyone tell how you can follow the Monte Carlo tournament?
Of course I cannot expect the same service as Tikay had at the Midlands Medley :), it was super,
but there might be something anyway (I have not found it though).
Pllacing my bets on pkrbt (by heart and gut feeeling).
 :D

Hi Lassoo,

You CAN follow it on blondepoker from Monte Carlo EXACTLY as you did at Walsall. The only difference is that I shall be updating direct from the Casino, rather than via our good friend JBSC7769 - laptop connection permitting. And if the Laptop wont work, then we'll do it the Walsall way!

In fact, unless I can win a satellite tonight, I shall not be playing in the Main Event, so without me having to "wear two hats" the Live Updates should be more comprehensive than previously, as I can give them my full attention from the very start. Rhowena is here too - Beauty & The Beast, eh?

But it really helps this end if you guys interact with us.

So if you have a player you want to follow, or are particularly interested in, give us his name, & we will follow his progress for you.

The action begins tomorrow, & we will be on the case from the very first hand.

Look for the new thread tomorrow, under Live Updates - "Monte Carlo Day One".

Happy?

Thanks for your update, exited to hear.
Are you the beauty then lol?

As I am a Swede I follow Bengt Sonnert (pkrbt) and Daniel Larsson with huge interest.

I wish you all the best with the satellite :)

And once again I have to thank you for the great job you are doing, very professional and entertaining.
If you continue like that this site will be best in class!

You don't really want me to win that satellite, now do you Lassoo.....?

OK, Daniel Larsson & Bengt Sonnert are now on the list of guys to look out for. I know both of them, so that should be easy enough. I'd rather be watching their progress than playing either of them - two out & out maniacs! Nice guys though, I chatted with them both in Walsall - Bengt after he won the 500 (I did a TV interview with him), & Daniel, whiom I shared a table with.

If fact, I wrote a tournament report which featured Daniel some time back. If you are interested, go to our "Tournament Reports" page (see Menu buttons on left hand side of News Page), & then "Stockholm Aug 2004".

And thank you for your kind words Lassoo. Tell all your friends in Sweden & Norway, & the WSOP gang, to tune in to blondepoker for the Live Updates.

Lol, it is a tricky choice, of course you must be rewarded. However I imagine that the reporting at this will suffer if you are too successful in the tournament, lol, but then we are willing to pay the price for that.

The interview you made with Bengt, when will that be sent? Already maybe?

I will for sure tell my friends. Your rumour will be great in Scandinavia ;)
