It eludes me why PokerStars won't act as escrow in these prop bets. I know for fact they did in a previous prop bet. I thought it was a spacegravy prop bet (after he became a sponsored PokerStars player) but I scanned his prop bet threads and didn't see any posts from confirmed PokerStars reps. Must have been a different prop bet but I'm certain they did at least once.

I'm pretty sure it was Boku87, or if it wasn't then I think Stars escrowed for him too, although I doubt they are willing to make a policy of it.

Are you currently only accepting bets via PokerStars? If you aren't what other forms of banking/escrowing are you allowing?

I got no answer from the other possible escrow, so it will be done by me, jdawg91 and TeamTrousers. Judges are Cragggoo, jdawg91 and I will get one more guy in case there will be 1:1 decisions.

I will PM every guy who reserves his bet with details of escrowing (e.g. where to send his bet (neteller/MB/paypal etc))

Phase, can you guarantee a minimum avarage buy-in?

I think it's necessary, because, for example you play only a few $200/$100 fifty50's, and you win $10k. Then you decide to play only on $30,$60. It secures you to make profit, and you will have enough tables on $30 and $60 to complete your goal.

I know Sharkscope has become a little flaky over the past few months, and I know of a number of people who haven't had all their games tracked.

Taking this into account, what is going to be the final decider with respect to how many games you have played, and what you final profit/loss situation is?

Yea I'd assume judges/PS representative would be sent a playing history audit and that would be a final decision maker if it was close

Thanks - I assumed that would be the case, but it's just nice to get all this stuff down in black and white before the prop starts.

Maybe im just being ******ed but you can't really act as escrow in your own prop bet. The idea in an escrow is for someone impartial to hold the funds and well... you're not impartial

Your welcome for that.

So far I never took part in a propbet but I am convinced this one isn't feasible. Still wish you GL though.

Since I play the micro stakes Fifty50 and take some shots at the higher buyins from time to time I have to ask if I can bet against you, right?

So: Am I allowed to bet against you?

If yes, then my $150 against your $50.

To be fair, you only allowed a week to announce the bet, arrange escrow, arrange payment methods and then give people time to book action. I think you'd probably have gotten more if you'd announced earlier tbh.

This is disgusting. I didn't even know there were 24,000 SnGs. Say hi to everyone else on Stars for me.
