I made the bets based on information I obtained. Very +EV for me considering how good I think the information is even if it doesn't happen. If you spoke with the same person as me you would have made the bets as well.
If my source was some schlub I wouldn't have taken bets and offered to book more. If I lose then I lose. It isn't a huge deal to me. I have lost much bigger bets in the past and it is just part of gambling.
I was told the same 2 days ago as I was last week. The major groundwork of the deal is completed and my source is waiting for the announcement as well and is very surprised it hadn't taken place yet but is still being told the deal is sealed and nothing is going to stop it from happening.
There are many reasons they want this done asap and it has absolutely nothing to do with any of you or me.
The WSOP is right around the corner and they want to make a a big splash there and there are other BIG plans surrounding this deal. You will most likely hear about these plans when a deal is announced OR soon after.
If I didn't have a solid source with what I believed was good information I would never have come in this thread and posted what I was told and I would have never went to the extent of having my information verified. I have too much to lose now to blow smoke up the communitys ass.
I got this information on May 1st. I posted this deal was going to happen in a rough time frame around the third week of May. I was the first one to post that on any forum or poker media site. About 10 days after my post a bunch of poker media sites had a very similar story to mine. Some of them probably copied it from other sites who may have copied it from me I am not sure on that. But there are some people who posted this story whom I don't think would post such a story without having credible information and wouldn't have pulled the old copy paste job.
Now I was told 99.9 % by end of last week or early this week to expect Pokerstars to have a press release regarding this matter. Am I frustrated this hasn't happened yet? Yes very. I could use the money I have locked up on there because the WSOP is right around the corner and I have a few people whom owe me money from stakes and loans.
I have been part of the online poker community since 2004. I have made 100s of friends online , most of whom have read this thread and have messaged me on Skype or thru PMS and firmly believe and know I am telling the truth about what I have said. One thing I can tell you is that anyone who knows me knows I am a very trustworthy person.
Now here are my plans for the future of this thread
1. I am done answering questions because it does nothing but derail the thread. I have told you what I can tell you and that's it.
2. If I am told anything and I am at liberty to report it whether good or bad
I will
3. IF there is no announcement by the end of the week I will stop posting in this thread until an announcement is made.
And this is just my personal opinion of why an announcement hasn't been made yet. Pokerstars was late into the game as the Tapie failure announcement was made. They are trying to ram and jam all of this together before the WSOP but it has to all be laid out and agreed upon. As of last week they thought it would be done MUCH sooner than today. They are almost there but they can't announce anything until it is official. And again they have never denied there is a deal that is taking shape or form right now.
That said I still firmly believe what I am being told and that is that an announcement is very VERY close to happening.
