Grosvenor changing rules regarding deals?

[jbsc7769]

I assume (no cliches please) that this is an April Fools?
What nonesense.

Whilst I am moaning, why do people keep posting stuff in the Live Updates Forum instead of this? I mean I know they are "updated" the forum, and it is "Live" but......

Ahhh that explains everything.

Thank you for those sane words.

i spoke with the main man at walsall and he told me that no deals has come about because of a gaming board directive, what the casino is saying is that it has to pay out to its published prize structure, some players will still do deals but it will be away from the cardroom, the casino will take no part in deals, this will soon happen in all grasvenor cardrooms so im told, and other comanys will have to follow

Thanks Dani, that makes a lot more sense now.

I know nothing about Gaming Board directives, but we have to assume Grosvenor do.

But this does NOT amount to banning deals. What Grosvenor, it seems to me, are saying, is "we will only pay out on the published prize structure". That is DIFFERENT to banning deals. The deals will continue, but the players will have to sort the money out between themselves. So deals are NOT banned, but Grosvenor will not recognize them.

Thats OK.

But just remember, when you agree a deal with Matey Boy, make sure there are no misunderstandings, because "after the event" The Casino cannot intervene if Matey Boy refuses to honour the deal. So be careful who you "deal" with. I can guarantee this will cause some probs, some "no, I never agreed to that", or "I'll pay you next week" nonsense.

Thanks for enlightening us Dani, & good luck with the 100 Freezeout Jobbie.

Good news - i might be abkle to shed some light on this. Speaking to the supervisors at Walsall tonight they explained that it is an instruction they have been given from the good old gaming board. The gaming board say there should be no deals in any comp. Lets be honest it won't stop deals being done but the casino itself will no longer get involved in them. I remember playing at the Rainbow many moons ago. They wouldn't let you do deals & only paid out the listed prize money & then we split it the way we wanted.

Good stuff BigD, we can safely put this to bed now. But beware the warning in my previous post guys!

And welcome to the blonde Forum BigD. Interact, & enjoy!

i know in blackpool you carnt do deals, you have to sit on your cards to do the deal and then throw ur chips in to see who places what on the standings,

we recently did this in the 300 event, the guy who won actually came 5th lol,

[ifm]

Hate to be doing a pedantic (new verb) but nobody said they were banning deals, just not allowing you to agree a deal, split the dosh and go home.
They say you must play to the chipcount (very rarely over before) but doesn't this amount to the same thing???
is not a chipcount a deal?
How can they say we pay the structure, no deals then do a chipcount???
Makes little sense to me.

Well I am sure the second sentence of your opening post said "they are banning deals".......

Anyway, makes no sense to me either! But if it's a Gaming Board directive, who are we to argue?

As to the point made above by S Wood about Blackpool, that does not surprise me one iota. The Blackpool boys seem to play much better when they don't look at their cards. No thinking required, see?

Well I am sure the second sentence of your opening post said "they are banning deals".......

Erm, nope.

I like the intercasino idea though, could be fun.
Maybe Walsall could spank the asses of the winners?

He said as of 5th April they will no longer allow deals (or as i said the game ending prematurely).
 

Am I misunderstanding this? What's the difference between "banning deals" & "not allowing them"? I am confused!

But Walsall spank the asses of the winners? Well the winners WILL be Notts, that's a given. And I think Walsall may give Notts a good game. Proper players in Walsall & Notts, see. Now let's wait for dear old Ariston to come on huffing & puffing.......

[ariston]

No need to huff and puff Tikay, the challenge has been layed down so its now just up to you to bring it on. You have already tried nicking Burnley for the notts team, what next bunging the nuggett to say he originally hails from your way?

[tikay]

The Nugget? You are getting confused Russ. You want him, as well as Burnley John, to play for Blackpool? How many more of our players you gonna try & steal? You'll be telling us next that Ali Mallu is one of yours.

[ariston]

Let me get this right the Notts team will be- Nugget, "burnley"john,ali mallu, howard plant, isabelle mercier (canada is 3 miles sw of nottingham town centre apparantley),ram vaswani, bengt and gus hansen. No wonder thewy is only a 50/50 shot. The blackpool team is me and simon nowab (why have you not had him as well?) the valet from the casino,random waitress and team tetlow. Think we could still take you
