The 50k H.o.r.s.e Prop Betting Thread!


Recommended Posts

OK, a few days to the big HORSE tourney and I figured FCP would be down for some prop bets.We did some stuff like this for the ME last yr and it worked quite well. I'll lay out some possible bets below, and if there's anything else people want to bet on, I'm sure we can arrange it. I'll escrow all the bets if it pleases everyone. If you do want a part of a bet, make a post clearly stating a) what bet you are making exactly B ) your PokerStars handle, and c) how much you have transfered. Please transfer to HardcorePawn.OK, some of the possible bets we can have:(1) The Final Hand will be dealt in what game:$5 pool/$20 pool/$50 poolHE - Moneyball16 ($50)O8 -Razz - Jam-Fly ($50)Stud -Stud 8 -(2) WinnerEach poster picks the player they think will win the tournament (players may be picked a maximum of once). Whoever picked the winner, wins the bet. If no one picks the winner, whoever picked 2nd place wins the bet. If no one picks the winner or 2nd place, whoever picked 3rd place wins the bet etc.We'll start with everyone picking one player to begin with, and if interest seems to die down a bit, we'll allow people to pick more players if they so please.In this, there will also be a $5/$20/$50 poolLIST OF PICKS:$50 poolPHIL IVEY - MoneyBall16 $20 poolDANIEL NEGREANU - Jam-Fly(3) Final TableCompletely seperate from (2) Winner bet. Each poster picks the player they think will make the final table of the event (players may be picked a maximum of once). The final table payouts will be split between the posters who accurately predict a player to make the final table. For example, if there is $1000 in the pool, and 4 FCPers correctly predict 4 players to make the FT, then each FCPer will receive $250 (regardless of the players finish AT the final table).Again, a $5/$20/$50 pool in this one.LIST OF PICKS:$50 poolPHIL IVEY - MoneyBall16 $20 poolCHAU GIANG - Jam-FlyOkay, hope they're clear enough. A little more ambitious and complicated than last year, but hopefully it will work! Let me know what you think!

The first pool is kinda dumb. You've gotta offer some odds for people to come in on the split pot games. There's no way it's as likely to end on O8 as it is to end on Holdem.

Why are you telling people this instead of putting money on Stud?

Because I'm assuming that nobody is going to take O8 or Stud8 seeing as how it's an obvious sucker bet.
