$1,000,000 The Big One for ONEDROP, (FAQ in First Post) - Page 8 - Poker News

Your seriously debating the structure on a one time tournament for charity that you would never be able to afford in a lifetime?

I'm more concerned about the fact that only 10% is going to charity and ex FT pros are playing with stolen money. I hope Andy Beal wins and donates it all. God forbid some FT degenerate or Phil "UB who?" Helmuth wins and just keeps it for there greedy selves after they pay off all their loan sharks.

LOL payout structure discussions!

+1 Its pretty disgusting some of the things these poker players shove under the rug. Oh for the old days when people who had money stolen from them would seek justice.

From an article on Pocket Fives (!):

In this thread people say that the event will be streamed on wsop.com from the very beginning, but the site itself says that only the final day (July 3rd) will be streamed (http://www.wsop.com/2012/live-video/live-video.asp).

Who was the idiot that set these odds? Chamath is incredibly rich and is a good player. Its worth it to put 1k on all of the "Fish" and try to get a 100k score. SportsBet is going to lose a lot of money.

Rolande De Wolfe 22/1 and Chamath is 100/1. When was the last time DeWolfe had a big score?

And NO PERSON is a 125/1 dog in a 48 person field. SportsBet must enjoy losing money!

isn't there huge juice in those lines? you may be right on the relative valuation though.

i don't see 125/1 dog as being out of line. roughly suggests chance of winning is 0.8% vs. average player at 2%?

funny there is actually only one player whose odds are near that 2% average. seems as though people are perceived shark or fish. no in-between

Edit to say that the entire list of odds is out of whack, not sure who/how they arrived to such conclusions, but there is money to be made off their errors. For some reason i do think de wolfe is going to take this though.

It starts in 2h19 min ?

I'm lost with the timezones (it's already 18h52 in France

), so i guess since i'm in the UTC+1 and Las Vegas is in UTC-7 it will start at 21h11 in France (so in 2h19 right ?)

Thx for the help

Any free streaming btw on espn (paid 4€ for the ME FT streaming last year) ?

Clearly they dont know Paul Phua, that guy is a sick player! Gonna bet on him if he`s still 100-1. Check him out, I think there`s some vids of him out there, clearly knows what he is doing and bluffs when it actually makes sense. Most of the other odds suck btw, especially the ones for the pros.

LOL@Perkins getting 80-1 vs Phua 100-1...

Somehow in the WSJ article on one-drop yesterday there was no mention of the charity element of the tournament, how do they manage to overlook that? The tournament wouldn't exist w/o the charity, such tilt =/

For some reason I thought it was going to be on ESPN3, and I had to jump through hoops and use my neighbor's internet connection to access that and then I realized that it's not being streamed there today.
