This is a thought I've had and some of my chums at work are up for it.
I am looking at selling 1% shares of my winnings in the Main Event at 100 a time.The reason for this is
to give me some spending money in Vegas. Am I being to greedy or what do you think the market rate is. Just looking for a bit of feedback good or bad. Or has anyone else got a better idea?

i think 100 may be a bit steep.
50 would be more like it - ideally you could look to sell 30% of yourself for 3500.

Nice spending money - you are still playing for 3/4 of yourself and at 50 a go you may get more interest  - well done by the way John, see you tonight.

I dont know if you know this but, Betfair are giving you an Extra $2000 for spending money over there as part of the package you won last night

The full package is this:

$10,000 seat at the WSOP
All flight booked and paid for you
9 nights accomodation in the Rio hotel all booked and paid for
AND an ADDITIONAL $2000 just solely for spending money!!!

Thanks for the info Dave
I played through the William Hill skin so I think it is a different deal.

The same basic package on Crypto skins except that Betfair is adding a free return flight on top of the standard package so it's better value. They're a generous lot those Betfair boys aren't they? Grin

honest advice Mpower- If you are going to sell a piece of yourself do it to your friends who can afford it and rate your game. It is much better to sell to someone you know and if you get a nice draw it is much nicer to give the dough to someobody you know/like.

the free flight only comes through Betfair, if you played through Will Hill's you'll have to pay for your own flight from the $2000

Absolutely correct ruru, Will hill give you the $2000 as "travel expenses" while Betunfair give it you as spending money AND pay your travel expenses..........still crooks though.
