All I need is 1 mirrion backers at a dollar @.

Or better still, put a $1bil guarantee on it

Also, if they don't fix those God-Awful payout structures I am not watching it.

Yes, play a meaningful sample of these like 10,000 and yes it might be hard to beat

I have dreams of this and it's 40 million backers with reddi whip and time on their hands.

Jimmy bob's got a point. A legit celeb or donk lottery ticket winner that people can get behind definitely wouldn't hurt.

if they didnt cap it and started sats for 11$
every donk would be chunkin change to try for it
think of the rake a site could make from it
or use stars highest sat buyins and add levels up to a buyin to this
somebody get in off a freeroll to sats from stars ROFL

The cap is def because the business tycoon/whales don't want to -or can't- play a long tourney. By ensuring it will only be 2-3 days more amateurs will enter.

What if the Lottery seat went to the Hall of Fame inductee with the most votes for that year?

How many sats with a field of 100k giving away 1 ticket do you think they could run?

They need to get guys like Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck, JayZ, Rhianna, Spiderman, and Bill Gates to play in these things.

I hope they have a more even balanced pay structure. The last one was horribly skewed.

Whether that's true or not I don't know

I'm pretty sure the entry fee will serve quite well to keep the field small...

I played this tourney 2 years ago, the payout structure sucked then, and it sucks now. I told Guy he needed to fix the payout structure but judging by the structure sheets, they didn't bother.

111k in vig, total crapshoot at the end, people who played way way to slow (bc OMG its $1m bucks) would not repeat.

A million is nothing to coltranedog. He writes off more than that from a year worth of Edog stiffing him.
