It's completely free to play and if we get at least 50 runners I'll do my very best to ensure that the winner gets an undertitle saying "WSOP 2018 Guesstimania Champion" or similar.

I'll reveal this a question at a time once we get some answers. If I find the energy and time then I might tease some questions before they are revealed.

For instance

1). Guess the number of runners in Event #1

-Four people put the exact same answer
-The difference between the biggest and smallest answers given is 192
05-30-2018 , 10:26 AM
Are 4 people potential satanists?
05-30-2018 , 10:43 AM
Pretty sure that’s the two of us, for starters
05-30-2018 , 10:52 AM
For those of us competing in all three of Peehs, Fantasy and Guesstamania, I think adding up our total finishing positions to determine the PFG would be appropriate.

PFG, of course, standing for Pokercast Friendly Giant.

Interesting that the 4 that submitted 666 are 4/6 in the PFG

Is this a sign of things to come for Xander and Wilbury?

wheeeeeee

2). Guess the number of starting tables in Event #3

If you survive your day 1 table in Event #3 then you get paid.
They are paying 50 places.
I therefore conclude that there are 50 tables

Kind of. I picked a number for the runners and was supposed to divide it by 7.5. Forgot to do the divide.
Doh!

Oh well, everyone needed the headstart.

I like it. Thinking realistically, I feel like I can make top 5.
06-03-2018 , 06:21 PM
Just to confirm for question 3, the official final table is 8 players?
They combine at 9, but 10th and 9th earn the same money.
06-04-2018 , 01:36 PM
Final 8 players count for Q3 since that's the official final table

3). Guess the combined number of bracelets held by members of Event #5's Final Table

Here they are:



Could have been a big swing on this question if a Negreanu, Ivey or Hellmuth made the final table, but the correct answer was 7

Yep, this is precisely why I went so high... figured there would be an Erik Seidel or Negreanu type at the table. The funny thing is, I thought I would be the highest guess. Not even close!
06-04-2018 , 06:05 PM
Thinking of quitting my job and becoming a professional Guesstominiac!

Does anyone know where my fellow professionals reside for tax purposes?
06-07-2018 , 06:04 PM
no money in guesstimania, everyone's solid

In other news it's reveal time!!
06-07-2018 , 06:05 PM
4). Guess the number of nationalities represented in Event #16

Country
Australia
Austria
Belarus
Brazil
Bulgaria
Canada
China
Finland
France
Germany
Greece
India
Israel
Italy
Netherlands
Portugal
Spain
Switzerland
Taiwan
UK
Ukraine
USA

is the correct list of answers as far as I can tell. There were a couple of players I couldn't find Hendon Mob pages for, so if I'm wrong then I'll adjust scores

Glad to see I'm drawing live in this contest, because I'm laying a gigantic egg in the other.
