Obviously.

2+2 mods don't even like me. Won't let me post my twitter handle. Give me infractions

Even if you are @ 4814th place you are due for full refund Sir !!

Everyone needs to chill out as far as money being refunded. Let NJ Gaming finish its investigation. After they are done Borgata will obviously do the right thing because of this fiasco. A large Freeroll for players probably will help solve the problem

A freeroll won't solve ****.

you are my new friend riverph7 lol

Lets all take tickets into the Main and call it even

that sounds about right lol

This is crazy but is it true that the investigators are focusing the three suspicious entrants named Chris Chipmaker, Connie Terfitter, and Doyle Brawtsome?

I may have run across worse attempts at humor in my life. But not many.

This was funny but this guy needs to be a little more professional.

A player should've NEVER been the first to realize, certainly not after its now obvious that the chips were in play for quite a while.

This is so awful it's hilarious

Also props to the guy that posted the cracker chips pic, and double props to the guy that counterfeited the cracker chips pic

gl to everyone with money at stake, chipchop/refund seems to be the fairest method all things considered

Actually, I think it's the other way around: if the chip dump happens into the money, the extra chips are worth less, not more. This is because some of the money was already given out, so each chip corresponds to less of the prize money. So refunding 1% of the buyin (in other words, 5$), to each of the tournament entrants is actually sufficient compensation in this case as well.


You're 100% wrong. 1m chips spread between 3-5 people is exactly the same as 50 extra people entering and then chipdumping to 3-5 people person. I don't mind being called braindead, but you might want to try to not be so blatantly wrong when you call someone braindead.


Jeez. Results-oriented thinking galore. These hypotheticals don't matter as far as EV is concerned. Appropriate refund is one that considers EV, not "the best thing that could have happened". And, amazingly enough, the appropriate refund is roughly 5$ per entrant. This is what all the drama is about.

Not really. With 50 more chipdumping entries the prizepool will be 50 more buy-ins bigger

lol agreed

$560 plus maybe a freeroll sounds abit better

I drove and get comped rooms. But I had to take off work one day. And there are others who had more travel expenses and paid for rooms. So just the $560 seems a little bit light.

But I'm 90% sure we will get back $560. 7% chance of nothing. 3% chance of $560 plus extras.

This

Really complex situation.say one of final 27 bought in four times. Are they going to get back an extra $560x3?

No matter what happens, and NJDGE will control the money end, I would expect some sick offers from the Borgata. You know the 3 free nights RFB and $500 is slot play and limo service and...

The NJDGE will use this incident to show their "muscle" or effectiveness.
BUT, it's already a week.
Do something.

worst part of it all is hearing 4000 people acting so entitled and their claims of what they should get for busting a turbo mtt.

Really sucks for the people who didn't wanna wait in the payout line after busting ITM and didn't get paid.

Easy to say when you didnt play

You left out bald senior citizen white guys (with poor vision) - like me.

Ok time some facts .
An arrest will be made Monday. Or I should say the responsible party will be turning themselves in on Monday.
There was NO inside involvement. This will be extremely bizarre as the reasons are complicated. There was never supposed to be extra chips added. It was more of a "set someone up" kinda thing. Any avid poker player knows its impossible to put 200 plus extra chips in play. If so the other 5 million would have been added too. What happened is some of the chips were "stolen" and put in play by probably several people. There are reasons and explanations that simply can't be revealed. Someday maybe? But the of the matter is this was NOT supposed to have happened. The state will be pressing the steepest charges they can by law. After all someone has to take the blame and punishment. I can tell you that the person responsible is at a loss for words at the mess. It is unforgivable, and for many never forgotten. One day the exact story shall prevail. Some time in jail will allow plenty of time for writing a book perhaps. Who knows.

The brainwashdodo of the Borgataboutit counterfeit chip scandal?

It's real. I'm the responsible party. Should hit the news Monday.
