Im pretty sure you have play in the card room for around 6hrs per day to get a discounted rate. I may be wrong but that was the case last year when I was there .

Yes it's 10k seat plus 2.5k worth of  accomodation (actually around 3.3k if u booked with Wynn yourself) so the 10.5k Im asking for gives you a very nice saving

I havent qualified yet, but will do in about 1 week. We can make a gentlemans agreement at this stage. But i wont consider offers under $12k sorry.


ok I better step in here (as a moderator)

Please explain why you will qualify in about a week please?

Your thread title implies something a lot more definitive than possibly winning a package, and is misleading

Why not wait til you have done so?


Think I've already explained this twice but.....

Its a rake promo, so I will have qualified when I reach the rake target in a week or so. On the Betfair promo page there is a leaderboard which indiactes my progress. I'm advertising now because if I don't the offers that I want then  I'll be going myself, and if I do that then I dont want there to be no flights or flights on available at mega bucks.

If anyone is planning to go and play the Main Event and stay at the Wynn this will save them $2k. I dont want to twist anyones arm and give away more than $2k in value.

Btw if you've already booked your hotel direct with Wynn you can cancel at this stage and you pay them nothing, and therefore take adantage of the value in my sale (I know this because I did it myself last year!)

I'm sensing no-ones going to make the offer I want, so I'm glad I avdertised early!

l'll probably book my flights this evening after negotiations with the missus (!), after which the sale will be off. I'll wait til 9PM so if anyone wants to offer $12k do it before then.

I'm selling it because my missus has all her holidays booked for the year and I dont really want to go on my own and I suck at tournies! I play mid stakes cash full time but $12-$14k is still a decent chunk of my bankroll.

Yes I posted it on another page on the forum, first time I've used this forum so wasn't sure which page was most appropriate! I understand if anyones cautious, this is probably for someone whos done this sort of deal before, but rest assured I don't need the money badly enough to rip anyone off!

Is there any obligation to betfair to wear their branding etc? Any perks on top if you make it deep?

All the details are on the BF promo page.
 
My understanding is that you would need to wear BF branded clothing yes.

No formally defined perks for going deep that I know of.

Are you sure the package is 'transferable'?

Yes its transferrable. Betfair dont handle the money side of things, but they would transfer name from me to you. I've done it before with a different tourny package, and it was fine.

Does that not include flights ? an what dates is hotel from an to? an will the total price of the room  be all paid for in full during duration of stay ? Thanks for your help.

No theres $1500 expenses money which is supposed to cover flights. The hotel is booked at Wynn for 3rd July - 15 July. Yes its all paid for by BF. The average standard Wynn rate is around $220 per night so BF youre actually getting around $3300 worth of accomodation, but BF obviously get some kind of bulk discount so they've assigned a value of $2500 to it. If you want to stay extra nights, that wouldnt be a problem just pay the extra to the Wynn, but if you want to stay for less nights, my understanding is that BF wont give you any money back for that.

If you're planning to go and want to stay at the Wynn, this is obv a way to save a few quid on both the buy in and the hotel.

All details of the package are given on the Betfair promo page.

I am about to qualify for a $14k main event package from a Betfair rake promo and would like to sell it. I'll sell it to the highest offer over $12k. E-mail  me at steve_cordy@live.com if your interested.
 
Details are in the link below if you go to promotions and the "claim your ticket to vegas" page. There is also a leaderboard which shows me on course for the main event package. I will have qualified in about a weeks time. I'm advertising early because if I dont get acceptable offers I'll probably end up going myself. We would just be agreeing in principle at this stage and can do the deal when Betfair can confirm qualification.
