Sorry if I phrased the question badly Rich.

I have a supplier - I just need to know which of those 3 is the best, that's all.

The "no cash alternative" is kind of interesting - because "no alternative" to what..?

I suppose if Sky or whoever else wanted to be really hard-nosed about it they could try to take you to Vegas and then spend the rest of the £10k on stuff for you that you don't want. But I don't imagine they'd do that... And presumably they'd have to give you the cash to buy in to the main event at some point, standing by the cashier, don't they..? So the "no cash alternative", to the buy-in element of the prize at least, doesn't really stand up, does it..?

sky can buy people in direct as part of their licence

your point stands for the cash that's given back once everything else has been bought and paid for though

Ah yes, missed that, ta.

I must say that this whole debate irritates me a little and is what prevents me from playing as many sats as i would like to.  If these sites want to make money from sats where they earn rake then it is disingenous at the very least to expect players to advertise their companies for free.  I would drop any firm I had qualified with the second I was made a proper offer and the only time I did qualify online for a big event I didn't wear the gear that firm gave me but they weren't in any way pushy about it but I was quite comfortable telling them where to get off if they had.  Imagine the response that Carling would get if they told every team that got into Europe that they had to wear a Carling logo in the Europa League!!!

I'm thinking of escaping for a day a week to play a little golf soon, Methuselah will ease me in, I hope, then maybe we can play a little relaxed golf, I think I need to take it up again.

If your serious come down and play at my course soon, easy enough to get to from sky.

add to the lolz

with regard to the Sky Vegas discussion...in the contract is the WSOP ME specifically mentioned? should someone from Sky run deep, and Stars/FT come sniffing around, would Sky then reward that player with some ££££s for such a deep run/ site exposure?

You know all you have to do is give me a call.

Now would be a good time as I'm about to start easing back into it myself after my winter hibernation.
