Re: 40,000 SnG's in 30 days propbet

This is just outrageous. I think I'm just going to have to throw down some monies on this. However since these are all I play, I will need reg status, otherwise I can't bet.

ROI on hypers is marginal once you get some volume. You're a beast. GL.

It's probably no coincidence you chose a 30-day period when many grinders will be at WSOP and not playing online. IMO it greatly increases the chances of you being successful on the bet.

Will hit you up on skype too, but if you need an escrow, can definitely help out with that.

Will there be enough games going off ? So it's like 1300 games a day 6 games an hour per table ? 9 hrs 24 tabeling.

Id bet at 2 as I know you can handle the volume, buy
Unsure about the winrate

Re: 40,000 SnG's in 30 days propbet

I'm sry I never understood those bets. How is a webcam enough proof that it is the bettor playing and it is not like one guy playing diablo all day in front of the webcam and 3 guys actually taking turns to play at much more reasonable volume? Then, there is the problem with collusion as it is such a small 6-player SNG format. Odds are 2,5:1 in op's favour which more than covers for chip dumping and collectively paid rake.

hmmm, can not agree, one thing is if this was a high buy-in SNG or MTT challenge as regs in those games will go to WSOP, but i don't think that many hyper regs will go to WSOP. Think about it like this, Jorj95 is one of the best hyper 6-max player and his ROI is only 1%, it just shows you that at higher stakes there is almost no edge, all the money is in the rakeback, and you are considered very good hyper player if you are not losing money pre-rakeback playing huge volumes.
Also, if so many hyper regs that play 30s and 100s do go to WSOP there will be much less volume and OP will have to spend a lot more hours at the computer to keep the pace.

Collusion would be possible, but if judges do their job 100% it would be almost impossible. If Stars also participates in this, any suspicious behavior over such large volume will be quite easy to notice. With regards to the camera, i suppose OP could be playing Diablo all day and three guys taking turn in the other room, even if camera is pointed to the screen, or both the screen and OP, there are ways to cheat

Trust me, if you take the best 20 players in that pool and even an extra 2-3 are entirely absent during that period, it makes a big difference in game quality. I'd guess more than that will be in Vegas, we'll see.

Over 1,000 $100 6-max hypers a day go off normally (and even more $30s), so there's little issue getting in the combined 40k games over a 30-day period due to lack of games running (especially since OP would have to do the monthly volume of 4-5 grinders to win the bet)

And normally I just keep my mouth shut about points like the one I made about WSOP, but prop bets like this usually suck donkey balls for the other regs in the relevant player pool. $$ from outside the ecosystem (that the other regs have no access to) incentivizes one reg. to engage in behavior that takes $$ out of every other reg's pocket (the ones not at WSOP ). Even if said bettor is brain-fried playing his C or D game and is the 3rd or 4th best player at the table, etc., there's a degradation in game quality.

That said, OP is a very good player and it's still a very difficult task, so if people are willing to put up the money, everyone has the right to bet & play what they want.
