PocketAcesA5 6 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I would sign a legal document. The point is at some point if you were to win "we" would be handing you $1500 to register in the tourney (assuming the registration is the same as last year) and then if you were to cash we'd have to trust that you are gonna ship X amount of dollars back to all of us. We are not hurting for people to join this tourney so Id rather be selective instead of choosing the first randoms that post in the thread. I cant imagine that you dont understand the logic behind what Im saying.again though Im willing to drop out if Im out voted on this. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Unless someone else can vouch for the bolded names I vote that these people get dropped for other playersI can say that Luke has made many bets in the sports thread and has always paid. I'll vouch for him. Aces on the other hand has zero history and shouldn't be included. I dont know how everyone feels about a binding legal document that basically states whoever wins agrees to give the decided upon percentages to the decided upon people and they have to sign and fax that to me before I release the money, but that is certainly an option.I think this should be mandatory. There may be tax considerations that should be ironed out before the start of this thing. Especially for the Canadian's. again though Im willing to drop out if Im out voted on this.Don't do that.

chgocubs99 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah, but we also have to worry about people winning the seat and cashing in the tourney then us never seeing them again.Edit. Also what suited said.Exactly.The point is at some point if you were to win "we" would be handing you $1500 to register in the tourney (assuming the registration is the same as last year) and then if you were to cash we'd have to trust that you are gonna ship X amount of dollars back to all of us. We are not hurting for people to join this tourney so Id rather be selective instead of choosing the first randoms that post in the thread. I cant imagine that you dont understand the logic behind what Im saying.again though Im willing to drop out if Im out voted on this.Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites
chgocubs99 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Also for those "vouching" for randoms are you willing to pay everyone their portions should the person cash and dissapear? Cause if not the vouch is kind of pointless. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I mean, I'd LOVE to just go with people I know in real life, or someone else knows, but that might be tough.I recognize Poppy but not Dubey.I'm not gonna be the one to make the call on this in the end though.

Cause if not the vouch is kind of pointless.I'm not willing to pay anyone's portion but my own and Allie. If Luke wins and absconds with the money or cashes and doesn't pay out, then I'll feel badly and rather embarrassed. If anyone took this line I'd feel the same way. All we can ever do is trust our reads dude. My post was to say that I have personal betting history with Luke. He's made and paid many bets on this forum with quite a few different people in the sports betting thread. If he runs at poker as well as he runs at NFL bets, he'll be in the bottom tier anyway. cough.cough.deadmoney.coughI don't have any betting history with many of the names on the list (like you for instance) but I'm somewhat familiar with the regular posters. This is the intertube and we all have to have a certain amount of trust to do this kind of thing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

gobears 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'll sign up and ship when I get home tonightAs for the low post count who are you folks who want to participate, I'm ok with it. In the end, the most I can lose is $110 so the risk is manageable. Of course I wish all forty spots were filled with FCP regulars but it looks like at least the majority of the slots will be filled with regs. Besides, if two FCP regs don't end up with the two seats, we obviously suck as a group and deserve to get ripped off.Even "respected" forum members can abscond with a bunch of $ so the risk is always there (Zsta cough cough) in an case Link to post Share on other sites
