You give me 1.25 to 1 and I'll put up $1K on Dwan. What do you say?

IMO really important thing you need to consider is that jungleman12 has played maybe like 15K hands total $200/$400+ (maybe more if he plays that high on other sites than FTP), durrrr has played that high probably 10x more hands and for years.

Jungleman12 probably has excellent mindset, but there could be still some kind of mental breakdown or something if things aren't going well from the start. I think Jungleman12 is better NLHE HU player, but considering the fact how big this game is I think durrrr has an edge. Obviously not 3-1 edge though, so still +EV to play for Jungleman

JUNGLEMAN12 will have the edge if he gets his protein each day (THE CHALLENGE IS FOR LONG TIME) DURR COULD stick it to jungleman if he chooses to processs the knowladge of the cribblegar which sounds ruff but might just be profanic

LOL history certainly dictates this is the opposite of what will happen. What won't be sick is if we get a 20 page thread of trash and the thing never happens.

the money wagered is actually a small part of whats really at stake here. this is promotion for ftp.. this is to get people on the site to watch and play.. this is for people to start 4 tabling more. this is a great show.. tune in every now and then.. you never know when they will start playing..

this is about being the best.. this is about getting good.. being so far ahead of anyone else for them to catch up... and of course the money is good.. i wouldn't be surprised if there were some nice bonuses for both players...

cliffs: "its exciting" "theres nothing else like it" "action! action! action!"

experience the RUSH.. only on ftp.net... patent pending

If durrrr believes that he is, on average, a 5bb/100 ($1mil profit after 50k hands) or more winner, than laying 3:1 odds doesn't diminish any edge. Yes variance could obviously still kick in over 50k hands and he could lose 1.5mil+ but it's still +EV as long as he's expecting that type of winrate against any other player.

Now whether or not you guys believe he has that kind of average winrate against any player is a different story, but even if he doesn't actually have 5bb/100, it's still definitely +EV for all the coverage and popularity he gains. I do personally think jungleman12 would ship this though.

This is probably old but Matusow stated that durrrr would've won ~12 mil if he had won the bracelet instead of finishing runner up.

It's mentioned in the below link. The dang brothers talk about durrrrs prop bets and his mood after finishing runner up.

I would like to put money on Jungleman at 1:1, anything up to 2K.

I am reputable but can get this escrowed by someone if needed.

guess i'll be next in line for

"Ill take durrrr up to $200 as long as you're reputable because I don't want to escrow for a year"

if you're not reputable, you can ship me the $200 first and i'll ship back $400 if you win. I'd like to bet between $20-200 for the sweat
