So, play 40k games with 2-3 days remaining using up all 25k 30's, then if you're still down say several k+, you game select 100s as best you can to try and get a last ditch upswing. Even if it increases the chances of winning by 5-10%, that's pretty huge getting 5:2 with a lot of $$ at stake.

Either way, sounds like the bet's going to happen. People like to gambool
You not interested in betting then ?

the rule should be clear cut. If by x games you do not show a profit then...

Agreed. Don't want any mistakes yo ..

Also, I'm confused if you DON'T play 40,000 SnG's. Is that a push? Or do we auto win?

Pretty much every similar bet ive seen has been play at least X games and show profit on or after game x. So if he makes 40k games but is negative, he can keep grinding to try and get his overall profit positive.

^obv if he doesnt make 40k games then he loses and bettors win.

Let's say you play 40,000 games but you're -$10, does that mean you lost the bet or can you continue to play so you stop at more than 40,000 games and when you have a profit?
I think he means after 40,000 games it does not matter what profit he is at, just the 40,000 game profit matters.

Correct me if im wrong OP

Thinking of booking some action, need to look into it, if you played 24,000 10 man 50/50 .... then 40k 6max hyper turbo should be a lot easier to play that amount but the profit will be harder I think.

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

Yeah guys, there's absolutely no way this prop is easier than the last one. Hypers are a much harder format to grind long sessions with. The thought of playing hypers more than 4 hours straight at a rate of >90 tables/hour is just painful.

I don't want to be a naysayer, but I really don't think he can do it. I might put a small wager down, and I'd really say that this is a decent investment for anybody out there to make. The volume itself is insane, and it's really easy to run way below EV in these things, and when most of the best hyper grinders are somewhere between 0 and 1% ROI pre RB, that just makes things even tougher for him.

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

Hello


Would you do a HU bet vs someone?


Each game is worth 1 point. Each dollar of profit is worth 1 point (obv negative money is minus on your score).


could be fun to sweat 2 people at once in this kind of bet. ha ha

obv would be a side bet involved.
