CrizzyConnor:
Hypothetical situation:
You buy a lottery ticket for £1.
Agree to sell it to someone for £1 + 15% of any winnings...
No added value in this?
You"re being given the chance to participate and have the chance (no matter how slight) to win money without having to invest any of your own capital, and in the case of poker, time and skill...
I"ve got a seat to Walsall so not really minding what the outcome of this whole situation is right now. I just like debates... :D

Nope, you bought for a pound and sold for a pound - the 15%"s not worth a jot today. The actual added value you"ve received is in making someone very happy, as presumably this was the last lottery ticket in the country.
Question back to you. Would you go out and buy something on the strength of the 15% you"d secured?

Alright Boshi, I"m hoping to play a few of the live events. I know I cant make Ireland :( due to a wedding but all the others are on my radar. I"m also gonna play the regionals on a Sunday night although am yet to post my colours to a mast so to speak.
And everyone will want a percentage of me......surely?!?

I don"t agree at all. I personally think there"s added value because you"re still in with a chance of winning something. Yes it"s worth diddly squat right now but it could be...
At the end of the day we"re all gamblers and love a punt - no matter how we justify our poker habbits to ourselves and the missus - at the end of the day poker is gambling (albeit with favourable odds). I"ll agree to disagree for the sake of peace though... :D
