Please don't flame me but I'm pretty sure I came up with a really great idea. Anyways is it possible to sell my idea to either pokerstars or fulltilt? I believe which ever one were to purchase my idea would rise WAY above their counterparts in the industry. How do I go about making the idea legally mine so they can't steal it? I feel my idea would easily bring billions worth of new revenue towards which ever site would be interested. I truly believe this would result as like the new "poker boom." I honestly think I came up with probably one of the greatest ideas for poker in a very long time. I'm sure you guys get the picture what are my options here?

EDIT:lol i just read my post i sound like a douche but i'm seriously REALLY excited

Just wait for w/e you took to wear off.

Business, Finance, and Investing... or perhaps Laughs or Links.

Haha. No. How old are you?



Yes you do. That's okay but you seriously should calm down.

If you want to trust me with your super-special idea via PM and get an honest opinion on it then feel free. But seriously, your idea is not going to make a billion dollars.

Probably you should focus on this aspect of your idea.

I remember when I was 12 or so some wacky aunt of mine had this "great idea that is going to be HUUUGE" and was going to make her a zillion dollars. She was manic about it but wouldn't tell anyone what it was (except I think her father). Needless to say, the great idea never went anywhere and I never even found out what it was.

it was probably playing poker on the internet. If only your family had listened to her you would all be richer than stars and tilt combined.

i think the douche market is pretty much saturated.

Since this would have been before any of us had heard of the internet it seems her idea was WAY further ahead of its time than we could have imagined!!

Or maybe it was one of these:

obv... she was like "eureka! poker on the internets!" then she was like "oh noes -- theres no internets. Damn you 1970's technology!"

incidentally, i dont think the "loo read" is totally without merit. ill be honest and cop to having a laptop stand in the bathroom.

Step 1.) Post idea on 2+2
Step 2.) Get flamed
Step 3.) Present idea to stars
Step 4.) Get flamed
Step 5.) Present idea to FTP
Step 6.) Profit

At least that's how I understand Rush Poker was introduced.

I come up with a billion dollar idea everytime I light up. Then when I get back to reality I just laugh at my ******ed idea

email FTP and ask them. You will have to wait 3 weeks for support to answer and most likely it'll be a generic response as to how you can play rush poker for free.

Ideas are rarely if ever worth a "Billion" dollars, esp if all you do is offer-up (sell) your idea to "others"

I don't think you appear as a douche.
Hope your idea is good and that I can profit from it somehow (more fish?).

It really depends on whether or not you can take out a patent on what might be described as an invention.

If you're going to suggest that they reduce the rake, I doubt if they'll pay you too much for your idea.

I like Microbob's suggestion. OP, could you please PM Microbob your idea and he will give you (and all of us) his honest opinion without giving away any vital information.

The next thing you know, Microbob buys an island in the Caribbean and disappears from 2+2 forever.

i bet his idea is "no more bad beats"

I have idea: online sex poker. But it would be animated poker, so u couldnt multitable it, but it would be cool. For example u playing poker and you win then animated your enemy drops clothes. I think it would be very interesting, higher stakes hotter girls and so on.
I think it could bring a lot of fishes.

What u think?

ill take the opposite approach.. i want in on OPs idea

I want to know what it is so bad haha

edit: if the idea is so amazing and will bring new fish, just post it and if it's that amazing, they'll do it. They will never pay you a dime, just tell us what it is, I'm bored haha

I had an idea like that once. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

greg raymer used to be a patent lawyer. u could pm him but he might not want to be asked a million questions. but if you told him ur idea and it was good enough then not only could he help you patent it he could help you get it to PS. Gl and remember my help on your way to the top.
