Epic Prop Bet!

[SuuPRlim]

A friend of mine, no account here, but well regarded in the poker scene live and online is proposing a pretty sick prop bet...

The bet, at even money to play 100,000 hands of 6max NLHE cash in a 7 day period - (168hours) at minimum stake $2/$4.
AND...be +$1 minimum at EV!

He's Matthew Frankland.

Standard T+C's.

Only He can play on the account
Can play/sleep/eat w/e he wants
webcam feed set up
Poker tracker graphs as proof, + one person to moderate.
If he doesnt play 100,000 at least he looses.
If his EV line isnt plus MINIMUM $1, he looses.

Pretty sure he's open to any changes in T+Cs if they reasonable.

Thought peoples - betting at EVEN money.

If you wanted to bet, we'd probs need to escrow the monies with someone everyone trusts, as Franky doesn't post... I'd happily do it but Im one of Franky's best mates and he takes action in me in a lot of my games so would be a bit wierd really.

didn't someone on 2+2 do 50k hands in 24 hours a few months back?

If so, 100k in 168hrs seems reasonable. Still sick, but plenty doable.

Was 30k in 24 hours, and it turned out the guy cheated and got friends to dump to him near the end of the bet to show profit.

Was that the Chicago Joey one?


Anyway, I'll have $150 on at even money. Can ship tilt to an escrow if wanted but I'm happy if Dave vouches for you w/e

[DaveShoelace]

The hands themselves are doable, its the profit I think is tough as $2/$4 is a really tough level to be mass multi tabling when sleep deprived. I'll probably have $150.01 at evens if you do it.

[GreekStein]

Make mine $200 and then $50 increments above what Barry Carter tries to beat me by as long as his bet is booked.

If Flushy bets more, the same does NOT apply.

I think were talking about same one, chicago joey had issues in the thread regarding the judges. Think the posters name who laid the bet was 'gary neville' and im pritty sure he was a british student.

From what ive heard about Frankie he will win this bet imo if it goes ahead.

[paulhouk03]

will he play on one site only or multiple sites?

He plays tilt almost exclusively but on stars as well, I imagine he'll stick to ftp, and then open stars tables whenever volume is lacking on ftp. Also knowing frankie Im pretty sure he'll be playing higher than 2/4 the majority of the prop wont be able to resist lol

[paulhouk03]

full ring or 6 max

Chicago Joey did it at NL25 and was succesful.

Gary Neville was the guy who got exposed for getting his friends to dump, he had to be in profit at the end of the session and ended up like a buyin. Which was subsquently found to be dumped to him.

Having a bet on EV is pretty retarded. Poker is all about variance and thats why people wager. Theres also so much that happens at the tables regarding luck which can't be quantifable by EV. I'd bet  against if it was on profit/loss.

As it is im out!

Nnja Edit: Where do you intend to play these hands?

[grogheadflow]

I've already said I'd bet, but probably depends on a few things:

I think it should be actual $. 100k hands is plenty to slow the variance from your point of view, and less verifiable via PTR for those who don't know you as well.

Also, being able to vary the stakes is a big advantage. You could, say, start off at 5-10, run well the first 20k or 30k hands while fresh and then drop down to 2-4. Or run bad and jump to 10-20 and the odd 25-50 game running. I can see why you need more tables for volume reasons, but ATM there's like 30 400nl 6max games running on FT. It's 11am ET on a Tuesday. So, I think the stakes should be 400nl min to 600nl max.

My mate Chris is up betting ~$5k depending on T&C as well.

/ 2pence

[Whollyflush]

Yeah i also thinks the stakes should be capped at 400-600nl. Theres plenty of games across stars/tilt for this.
