The Rules:

1. 10,000 or more double or nothing SNGs must be played in the month of October, only $52 and $104 turbos and $54 and $108 regulars count
2. A profit must be shown at some point on or after DoN 10,000 is played not including any kind of bonus or rakeback (milestones, FPPs, store bonuses, etc. don't count). If Fossilkid93 is ahead of $0 on or after DoN 10,000, then the bet ends immediately as a win for Fossilkid93. If Fossilkid93 is at or below $0 on DoN 10,000, then Fossilkid93 can keep playing until profit is reached or October ends.
3. The bettors may not play in these double or nothing games during October
4. Should Stars discontinue these games or seriously alter their playability (location restrictions or game amount restrictions) the bet will be halted and a panel of judges agreed on by both parties will decide how to refund the bets.
5. If I have a medical emergency unrelated to the normal stresses of playing this amount of volume or a family member or close friend dies then the bet will be halted and a panel of judges agreed on by both parties will decide how to refund the bets.
6. No collusion credits or refunds of any kind will count towards the profit requirement.
7. Only games played by Fossilkid93 on PokerStars will count


The Bettors:

The Lee $6750 to win $2700 Paid
JimmyLegs $500 to win $200 Paid
rossi094 $250 to win $100

vs.

MegaFossil (Fossilkid93 on Stars) $3000 to win $7500 Paid


The Escrow:

Rays champs in 08


The Judges:

In the event of a circumstance beyond my control that seriously impairs my ability to continue playing or suspected foulplay by any of the parties involved that needs further investigation, a panel of 3 judges will be voted on by myself and the opposing bettors until judges are agreed upon. In the event an agreement cannot be reach, a forum vote will decide the judges.


Miscellaneous:

My User ID on PokerStars is Fossilkid93.
I will try to provide a daily progress update and post a graph at least once every week, probably won't do the updates after every session this time b/c I'd rather just focus on poker for the entire day before even looking at results.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, glad to hear that my play is inspiring a couple people to play harder. I couldn't really sleep so I'm gonna try and play 3.5 hours, take a break, then play another 3.5 hours and hopefully be about at 333 for the day by the time I have to leave for the golf scramble at 1. I'm planning on being ahead of pace by the end of tomorrow and staying there the entire month instead of falling behind early and relying on 14 hour days to catch up.

rossi094, you hadn't sent yet by the time the escrow went to bed, but I'm assuming we still have a bet and I've sent my $100 to cover your bet, so I'm guessing you will send some time today.

In honor of the California Marijuana Initiative hopefully passing next month I'm going to start this bet at 4:20 AM local time. I expect fully legal pot by the time I move to LA in March, don't let me down Californians!

Highly dependent on the lineup, when they take like 90 minutes to go off, then they can be some of the softest games I've played b/c there are usually very few regs in them. But other times they're almost all regs and are likely not profitable, but people are addicted to the extra VPPs.

Well, all our fold equity is basically gone if we fold here and when I'm called, at least if I double I'm in pretty good shape to cash. I doubt I get a much better spot next orbit. Most regs seem to be even looser than me in that spot.
