PROP BET: 500k hands in 45days at midstakes PROP BET: 500k hands in 45days at midstakes

GG krmont, real winner of this bet. I too don't believe anything shaddy went on there (not that it matters what I think). Good evaluation of the situation, good knowledge of villain, good bet - case closed.

Curious to see Joey take a run at this bet

Lol at people who thought it wasn't always gonna end this way. Lol Urubu, what a loser

^ posts like that should be deleted.

There's so much blatant abusing going on it's mind boggling. Show some class people.

am i the only one that feels like something shady has been going on?

judging by that sick flipping graph where urubu lost hundreds of thousands and yet somehow still found a way to come back to the tables and grind it out, quitting now makes absolutely zero sense from a rational standpoint. so far during this challenge he's down 22k which is peanuts compared to the swings from said graph AND not even that much for the challenge itself all things considered (stakes, PLO, also below EV).

of course fatigue, tilt etc. could have gotten the best of him but i find it highly unlikely that you can be this unprepared mentally for a scenario like this before offering the challenge in the first place, therefore making his decision to quit even more questionable.

krmont offering these extremely inviting odds for all those urubu fan boys and then cleaning urubu out in that HU match a few days later, which basically put the nail in the coffin from a mindset perspective, has shady written all over it.

i am not saying that this was intended to be a scam from the get-go but it really feels like at some point urubu was just fed up with the challenge and wanted to save himself some dough by advertising krmots bet on the brazilian forums and reeling people into this whole ordeal.
now we reached full ******.

Meh, its about as much class as Urubu ever shows. If you make a public prop bet like this and get feted by the fan boys then you gotta expect the opposite when you fail. Especially when you fail in this manner after encouraging the fan boys to bet on you and lose their money. Better posts like mine than more telling him how awesome he is and glamorising his pathetic actions

stay classy fellas and remember to embrace winner's responsibility

gg urubu, too much hate itt
05-12-2014 , 04:28 AM
The personality type that blasts off 20 buyins tilt shoving everyhand in PLO is not the personality type that pulls off elaborate scams via prop bet lmao.

people have been questioning urubus decision to quit the challenge multiple times on the last few pages and as stated in the first part of my post i am just as clueless as to why he did. all i did was expand on it.

i am well aware that my assumption sounds ridiculous but i don't think i have to remind people that we've all seen some pretty messed up stuff happen in the past.

also ad "character assassination": i specifically put the disclaimer first so that people would not bring that up. i think you have to draw the line at some point and distinguish between "speculating" and "accusing" otherwise why are we posting in here anyway. i am obviously just speculating and if i offended someone i do apologize.

Huge lol @ quittting down 50 buyins with 350k hands left. If he runs at 1.5bbs the rest of the way, he wins.

he's got a point. The fanboys and everyone that bet on him and showed him support have a right to get pretty pissed off for the way this ended. You really can't blame them for wanting some blood.

I was sweating this pretty hard. A day or two after this started I instaregretted when he posted his 17k hand day graph or whatever it was. A couple a really good players told me I was lighting my 10k on fire...and with seemingly the whole community on urubu's side, you can imagine my delight when I woke up today Can't imagine ever winning a bet like this again.

He gave it 5 days and was looking to quit already. It's like he didn't even think about this bet properly and prepare to give it a real go. The real losers in this are those betting his side thinking he would at least grind it out until it was actually an impossible feat.

Exactly my thoughts. After seeing the first days I thought I would never see my $6k again, oh well. However, before I made the bet I was pretty sure that all it would take in urubus case is one/two bad sessions and he would for sure spew money like he did.

Regardless of how this plays out, there's going to be winners and losers. The losers complaining should have given it a bit more thought before betting on something totally out of their control. That's life man, so you lost. No need to start trashing urubu; you guys make it sound like he didn't lose anything in this.

Roy did you already start paying the bettors ?

If not please hold a bit. Im gonna try to talk to urubu to convince him to finish the bet. Im machado28 on stars but for some reason my old 2+2 account cant post replies probably because i havent used it in quite some time.

It's not nice to kick a man when he's down. Please, stay classy.

From my experience with him, urubu is a very emotional guy who often gets caught in the moment and lets his feelings run over his mind. I'm sure he'll regret his decision to give up in a couple of days, but it's done deal now and it's better if we all move on.

No, I haven't started paying out yet. I am still waiting for my transfer limits to be increased.

I told urubu on skype that it would likely be another 12-24 hours before any payments begin and that if there was any reason for me to hold off on paying out to let me know.

I think the other judges and I need to decide whether the bet is already officially over or not. If there's any reason for it not to be over I think we need to hear from urubu as soon as possible as the last real communication we have from him ITT is him stating that he's giving up.

you should have offered great odds like 50:1 that he loses, you'd be super rich by now.

You remind me of people who say "of course he was bluffing"... always after showdown.

i know now he can be pretty bipolar, and can switch from taking on the world to quitting poker the next day...but im pretty sure after he said he forfeit he cant just go on and say he didnt mean it.

too many vultures in a urubu thread
05-12-2014 , 06:05 AM
Well I havent spoken to him yet. Gonna talk to him when he wakes up. He might not want to continue anyways but as i was told he wasnt continuing for lack of funds so i'm willing to offer him a chance to continue and then he can come here and figure out with you guys. Its just sad to see it end because of this. I didnt bet on this so im totally unbiased.
05-12-2014 , 06:07 AM
there was an official forfeit by urubu, end of story.

and why do half the people need a new account to post here?!

it's not an argument I expect to win but it's quite the double standard to expect the people who've won the bet to not celebrate in any sort of way when we all know if urubu had won, the entire thread would've erupted with VAMOOOOOOOOOS etc. while we would have to graciously accept the loss.

It obv. really sucks for urubu and the worst of it is if he actually is busto, who will stake him after this huge of a **** up?

Basically this. Gloat and be happy and fist pump if you won (if that's your style) and be angry and disappointed and frustrated if you lost but flat about abusing urubu is just pathetic. Nobody deserves that.
