World Series Rape

[ChicagoBill 0]

So I was poking around on Cardplayer and noticed that the total payout for the Main Event this year was $82,512,162. If my calculations are correct, it means that Harrah's took nearly $600 from each of the 8773 entrants as a fee. Does this not seem a bit high since the WPT events charge about $300 for a 10k buy in tourney? Am I missing something or is this accurate. My simple math is listed below$82,512,162 / 8773 entrants = $9405.239 per entrantor8773 x $10,000 = 87,730,000 - $82,512,162 = $5,217,838 (this is the figure Harrah's brought in just from the main event) / 8773 entrants = $594.76 (entry fee per entrant)

you are correct i believe, but that amount includes the percentag that is withheld for gratuity for the tournament staff

Does not really matter where your decimal point is at it was alot of money. That is one reason Andy Bloch glew a gasket when he showed up at the 50K event ahd found they started the tourney with USED/MARK cards....geeze

Hey Bill, why don't you go fck yourself instead. The forums are for discussing poker, and you can do it without using "rape." Go spend a month in prison or give your special lady to a serial rapist and see if it feels the same as an 18% tourney fee.

That's just as fun.

no they aren't.you pay $10,000 to get into main event, not $10,000 + $x.and 10% is an internet standard, that isn't even applicable at the higher buyins, 200+15 anyone?you are telling me that 10,000 + 1,000 would be even remotely acceptable? ya, Harrah's deserves over 8M dollars for running the main event. Let's go fella's use your heads.

[showstopper24 0]

It's likely the OP does not know 6% of $10, 000 is $600.
