Hello all, I am maffiagozer at PokerStars. After getting excited because of all the bets around here I decided I want to do something too.

Summary of proposition bet:
The bet will be that I, maffiagozer, will get 2000000 VPP before PokerStars resets their yearly VPP counter, this means before 0:00 January 1 2014 Eastern Time.
Every earned VPP counts, although I am planning on getting them with 6 max hyper SnG's.

Extra information:
My average buyin this year is $116, but because of this bet I am planning on playing mostly $100's and $200's and also the softer $300's and $500's. So this number will go up to around $160 is my best educated guess. Again, every VPP counts so, if I think it is necessary to play higher this will be allowed, but hopefully this will not happen because I am not really rolled for those swings.
This month I am getting 61 games per hour on average, for the year the number is 75.
Currently this are the VPP I earned:


Escrow:
The well trusted Mecastyles @2p2/Quadchrazs @PokerStars will be the escrow for all the placed bets.

Judge:
For now I do not have a judge yet, and since I'm completely unfamiliar with this community I cannot really think of somebody. So hopefully there will be some recommendations.

Webcam:
I understand that I am completely unknown here, so to prove that it is actually me who is playing I will stream a webcam where you will be seeing me in front of my computer monitor.

Rules:
Spoiler:
Preamble: All disputes will be arbitrated by the judge selected for this prop bet. His goal will be to determine appropriate judgments based on the spirit of bet, over the minutiae of the language. I have every intention of following these rules as faithfully as possible and will abide by the official decision of the judge.
1. This prop bet is that I, maffiagozer, will earn a total of 2000000 VPP in the calendar year 2013 Eastern Time at PokerStars.
2. Odds will be 2.75:1 in my favor. Bets 5k or more will be 2:1.
3. Every VPP earned in 2013 will count.
4. The bet will be void if poker legislation in the Netherlands means I am only able to play with players from the Netherlands (similar to the situation with pokerstars.fr) during the bet, if I choose so.
5. The bet will be void if PokerStars removes 6-max hyperturbo SnG's during the bet, if I choose so.
6. The bet will be void if PokerStars reduces the maximum number of sit and go tables that can be played at once to 17 or lower during the bet, if I choose so.
7. The bet will be void if one of my siblings, parents, my girlfriend, dies during the bet, if I choose so.
8. The bet will be void if the accumulated downtime of PokerStars will be more than 48 hours during the bet, if I choose so. The timer starts counting when I make a post in this thread, until it is possible to play again.
9. Server restarts do not count in rule #8, unless the downtime with a reset is longer than 6 hours.
10. The bet will be void if downtime lasts longer than 24 hours straight during the bet, if I choose so.
11. The bet will be void if my PokerStars account gets banned because of unforeseen circumstances during the bet, if I choose so.
12. Bettors must provide their PokerStars screen name to myself and to the judge. Bettors screen names will not be public if they do not want to.
13. The webcam stream will not display any part of my computer display.
14. In case of a disconnect, after reconnecting I can finish my running games without the stream.
15. If my webcam stops working for whatever reason, I have 24 hours, not including Sunday, to fix it while I can still be playing poker. In these 24 hours the 5 biggest betters can call me on Skype to check me. This may only happen once, second time I cannot play until it is working again.
14. The bet will start on October 28, after I confirm on that specific day that I have enough action in terms of $.

Uhm I didn't put much thought into an exact number yet.
About the minimum, somewhere around 20k I think to really give it a try.

There is no real minimum bet per person, but I don't want all kind of silly bets. So actually there is, let's say $100.
The deadline for the bets is listed as rule #14, October 28.

No, obviously I took this in account when setting up the betting terms. With the holidays in December in mind I can't take any free days now or something like that. So I have to start grinding at a 2M pace already, if I wait until November I won't have a chance.
Of course it is up to you to wait a couple days and decide if you still want to bet.

Edit:
On the other hand, you do have a point obviously. So I thought of something kind of reverse.
Bets placed today will be 2.50:1, bets tomorrow 24th 2:55:1, 25th 2.60:1, 26th 2.65:1, 27th 2.70:1 and the last day 28th 2.75:1.

If you get a panel of 3 judges, I could be one of them if you'd like. Obv play a lot against you and know a ton of guys we grind against personally but would judge fairly ofc. Wouldn't want to be the only judge though

7. The bet will be void if one of my siblings, parents, my girlfriend, my dog or the parents/siblings of my girlfriend dies during the bet, if I choose so.

"if i choose so"?

and gf parents/siblings etc ...i mean it's a lot of people/animals (i don't get by a year without one of the above passing away)
