EPT buy-ins

[robyong]

The buy-ins are now too high, although I think 10k euros for the Grand Final at Montle Carlo is fine.

I would have 5k euros personally and 10k euros for the final, pre book only and Pokerstars as the sponsor should make it clear what % of seats they are purchasing before the season starts (not > 20% IMO). However, happy for them to have the monopoly on internet qualification as they are the EPT sponsor.

John Duffie makes it really easy for you to pre book seats and has done a brilliant job IMO

£250 is fine. Sounds like we've got a bet.

My team of 10:

Praz Bansi
Johnny Lodden
Julian Thew
William Thorson
Ram Vaswani
Stuart Fox
Roland De Wolfe
Jan Sjavik
Julian Gardner
Luca Pagano

Just to confirm we add the sum total of all the buyins these players actually play (not including the juice because I included that in the expenses calculation) and then add the total amount of money cashed by these players in next years EPT's. If the latter figure is 40% more or higher than the first figure I win. If it isn't you win.

Deal?

Remember this?

Luca Pagano's 6th place in Monte Carlo has cost me £250. Without that I'd have won.

I did draw up a spreadsheet on my home computer - I think Keith won by $450,000, and Luca's Monte Carlo cash was $515,000. About half of Keith's picks played just about no EPTs, which made the amount of buy-ins quite low.

Didn't see this first time around.  You got yourself well and truly 'Camelled'

Any one of those players cops a big score and you lose (as you just found out)

For next season, ask Keith to pick 10 players with the bet being that more than half of them show a profit...

yeah, just seen this, was a bad bet imo Andrew.
