Chips: 554 | | | Re: Possible Prop Bet?? CT Bankroll Building Challenge The only problem is that it's not very easy to deposit money online. So for everyone to start with $50 in their account we would have to withdraw all but $50 of our funds then put it back after the contest. This would be rather difficult. Quote:

If you would like we can lay odds or just do it straight up. To add another twist we could shoot for a goal and if you hit it you win. I am game for just about anything.
Starting at $50 just makes sure we start at the same level... DONKAMENT TIME!! wOOt!!! |

frankly...even pulling money out wouldn't keep someone from cheating, of course. theoretically, couldn't i take a screenshot of my $50 and then just have someone transfer me $1000, or redeposit, or whatever?
IMO, this would have to be an honor system thing any way you work it. if you insisted...i could do it at FTP, where i have a more limited BR right now and don't care as much about moving money around. |

This way you can work with your current roll and then 30 days later you figure you % of increase?
If not we can do FTP if someone can tranfer $50 to me as I dont have a FTP acct.
And I do realize that its very possible for someone to cheat to win this however I doubt there are many uneithical folks here. |

we should definitely start with the smaller amount, though. i like $20 more than 50, b/c the risk of ruin is greater, so it makes the balance between accumulating and playing it safe more interesting. should i play $1 sngs or just go for the gusto? |

Chips: 554 | | | Re: Possible Prop Bet?? CT Bankroll Building Challenge I'm in the opposite boat. I have My role on FTP and Cake and only like $150 or so on Stars. It's not like the good old days where you just throw it on NetTeller for a month then put it back. Ahh the memories. Quote:

Thats cool with me... $20 it is, I agree that there is plenty more risk with a $20 roll than a $50. We can run with our current rolls then. Do you want to just PM screen shots or post them publicly?
Is there anyone else that is interested? |

Or just use the $24 ticket for a $24 sng. But $20 that makes the risk of ruin much higher. Maybe 12 table the $2.25's to start

When doubled head to the $10NL. When hit $25 head to 25NL etc, etc. If your running good well you just increased your roll dramatically. Of course you can stop whenever and pocket the profits.

As I see it...
We will run on P*, run it with our current roll then the one with the higher roll % increase win the $25 to be paid via PayPal or P*? You can play any game of choice with the exception of FPP events.
With screen shots of bankrolls will be sent to or posted where???
