Go on then you'd better put me down for 1% like those Hells Angels chappies or I'll feel like I'm getting my morning squeeze under false pretences.

Excellent news, thanks Ralph.

You are my Breakfast Squeezer-in-Chief.

1% BOOKED.

Can I have 1% please Teeks?

Can do bank transfer, pigeon carrier, or possibly cash in Vegas (but I'm only there 29th May - 5th June so would have to fit with your schedule)


Of course, Percy, you are very welcome, 1% BOOKED.

You start your 7 airport journey to Vegas tomorrow I believe?

Just the time for BA to have a global IT failure;

What an absolute disaster for British Airways & their passengers.

Is Gill joining you in Vegas?

Sophie is also partial to an afternoon tea, so while we were in Vegas back in March she booked us in to the Mandarin Oriental.

It was pretty special and the view out the window and along the strip is pretty amazing.

Take a deep breath before you open the bill though!

Hi Stu,

For the first 10 or 12 days, yes, & we'll be having Afternoon Tea at Mandarin Oriental, it looks pretty good.

Afternoon Tea is ridiculously expensive, but it's always very special for us, & we love it.

Get well soon Trev.

Hope you're well too Tony

I'm fine now thanks Mr B.

How are Shelley & the kids? Remind me of the kids names- Aces, Kings, 2pair & Set is it?

Pleased with the season Man U had?

So, roughly speaking, that is 47% sold, so I think we'll provisionally close the staking now. I've left a few % in reserve, in case any old friends or regulars want a bit. A couple of regulars seem to be missing, so if they still want a small sweat, it can be arranged.

That apart, & unless we have a swathe of no-shows, we are.....

As far as I can predict at this stage, the schedule is below. It could increase or decrease, more likely to decrease. Note that if I make any Day 2's, that will of course reduce it further if Day 2 clashes with the next comp. 

There is a decent PLO/PLO8/O8 MTT on Monday 5th June, but Gill & I head off on the Amtrak West Coast Adventure at 0430 on the Tuesday, so it's probably best if I swerve playing an MTT which might run late on the Monday.


Thursday 8th June   Binions   PLO8   365

Sunday 11th June   Venetian   PLO8   600

Monday 12th June   Aria   PLO   465

Tuesday 13th June   Venetian   Big O   600

Friday 16th June   WSOP   PLO8/O8/BigO   1,500

Saturday 17th June   Binions   PLO   365

Sunday 18th June   Planet Hollywood   PLO/PLO8   600

Monday 19th June   Venetian   PLO   600

Wednesday 21st June   WSOP   PLO   1,500

Thursday 22nd June   Aria   PLO8   465

Friday 23rd June   WSOP   PLO8   1,500

Saturday 24th June   Venetian   PLO8   1,000

Sunday 25th June   Golden Nugget   PLO8   250

Monday 26th June   Golden Nugget   Big O   250

Tuesday 27th June   Golden Nugget   PLO8/O8/BigO   570

Friday 30th June   Binions   PLO   365

Exchange Rate

I've changed up around 50% of my requirement so far at the rate of 1.265. 

When I have changed up the rest, I'll confirm what rate we have got overall.

The plan with exchange rates at both ends is that it comes out neutral. Investors will have the same rate as me, both ways, & none of us will make a turn.   

I've calculated the total package cost as $14,440, which at 1.265 comes to £11,415. I think. Probz.

Everyone will be paid proportionate to how much they invested, so the actual total package cost does not matter too much at this stage.

Of course Nick - you've been a season ticket holder every year, so I deliberately left a bit of slack for guys like you. There are 1 or 2 others, too, & if they want to come aboard, we'll find a way to sort it. 

I'll amend the Stakers list right away.

2% BOOKED

You gonna be in Vegas this year?

Have I missed the post telling us what each percentage costs please ?

Morning Lisa,

Apologies for the delayed reply. No, I had not published it yet.

Your 2% will come to (2 x £114.15) = £228.30.  

I'll be posting the total package value, exchange rates used & all the other minutiae shortly.  

How are the twins? And is Mr Mischief behaving himself?

Sent. Good luck us !

Twins great. Pete challenging.

But he's very good with the girls, far better than I was expecting, and they adore him. Smiley
