chipsnski 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 So I was reading the posts about D.N. success from 2004 and was wondering if anyone wanted to make a wager?I am laying $20 AMERICAN he doesn't make the final table of ANY OF his remaing 4 big tournaments. If he doesn't play them, oh well it's still counted as a zero.Just one final table out of four tournaments.I made this wager back in June for the WSOP and 2 of 3 people paid up. Only Daniel N. himself didn't pay up.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...4066&highlight=his schedule:http://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-forums/v...opic.php?t=8251Any takers?

Here are the quotes from him though:"It's bizarre talking about this without coming off as arrogant or boastful, but I'm going to share my opinion anyway. If you count all of the WSOP events I would be willing to bet even money that I make THREE final tables. If I only make two final tables I lose, but if I make three I win. As for my mental state for the WSOP I couldn't be anymore ready. I've cancelled an LA Trip, New Orleans, and most other distractions for the whole time period. - I have my assistant Travis covering for me for the whole month. -My mother to cook for me. -My agent handling all things business. -My fiance handling all of the wedding plans. The only "distractions" I'll have are those distractions I always have. Writing my Card Player articles, Blog, and my Syndicated Newspaper column. Sounds like a lot, but I can handle that no problem. Add to that some heads up matches when I bust out of events early. I've given a lot of thought to the WSOP this year. I want to be MORE prepared than I was last year and I want to do better as well. Last year I was distracted with the WSOP Fantasy Pool, but again this year I have Travis monitoring and I hired someone to calculate the scores. All I'm sayin' is... don't count me out yet."Once again, this thread wasn't about the past and a semi-joke, it's about anyone wanting to wager on 4 final table finishes?

brian67 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 There is no spread? To lay even odds that any one guy makes one final table out of 4 major tourneys is a bit of a stretch. I don't think i would take that bet unless it were at least 4 players. Is this bet supposed to be some sort of shot at DN? If so, it's a terrible excuse for one. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I would like to make a wager.I bet the day comes when I meet Daniel Negreanu, either by chance or by me stalking him at The Wynn, and when I do I'll tell him I'm a member of his forum, he will ask me my screen name, and when I reply "Ron Mexico", he will reach from heavens and slap the taste out of my mouth.Keep in mind that I probably dwarf him, but he will still do it on principle and I will accept it as my punishment for making a mockery out of general forum.Anyone want give me some action?
