Title: £10 sweepstake this saturday
Post by: ThePiranha on January 07, 2008, 18:15:47 PM
in an attempt to add a little bit of extra spice to this weekends comp, does anybody fancy doing a £10 in, last man standing, winner take all sweepstake for saturday.

me and my mates usually do it for a bit of a laugh when we go to casinos on a weekend, and i was just wondering who would be up for it???

if we could get about 20 people interested, the winner would have a free wekend and then some!!

anyone interested? let us know? ask questions if you like on how they work also

Is it last man standing who doesn"t cash, or just last man standing?

Thats a good idea, the person who gets into cash does not need it, and an incentive for the last non cash person to play it like a freeroll, which will make it easier to play, and less bubble like...

I so want to be there...

Not necessarily. It just means that there"s another pre bubble bubble but only for people who are in the sweepstake. Could get complicated........

Anyway count me in if it"s for the last non cash finisher (or last day 1 finisher)

Yes,like the idea of last man standing who doesn"t cash.........couldn"t stand someone luckboxing his way to that first prize AND the sweepstake ! ;)

yeah sorry i should have mentioned that, obviously, as last prize is £400, the money will go to the last non cash winner remaining.Anybody interested meet at the bar at 2pm, seems like the best idea.

For those of you who are interested and dont know me, i am a tall lad 6"4 only look like 16, and i will probably be wearing a blue and black striped t-shirt

Jeez if you get enough people in this, it might be worth being the event bubble boy. lol

Post by: ThePiranha on January 08, 2008, 17:31:21 PM
the idea is, nobody minds losing a tenner that badly, and its a bit of fun, and will make somebodys weekend a lot better if they happen to bubble
Title: Re: £10 sweepstake this saturday
Post by: tumblet on January 08, 2008, 19:41:30 PM
You should get a load of little yellow stickers that people have to wear so other people  in the sweep know they are in it... ;)

Count me it too. This is my first event so looking forward to meeting some new friends and poker playing buddies. C u at the bar @2pm

i would gladly do the whole yellow stickers thing if we could get enough people interested in it.

Obviously, if 10 people are in it, then there is no point.

But if like, 25 people are interested then sure, it is just for a bit of fun anyway. The whole idea of the APAT is to bring people in the same boat, or playing at the same poker level together, and i dont think there is any better way of doing it than this

ok, so we got 12 people so far, impressive, and of course as im sure you are aware, nobody is unwelcome.

But i want the serial posters on this website to join in a.k.a, the Riorodent"s, the Jon MW"s and the kinboshi"s and all the rest of you that seem to have a thousand posts.

Where are you all????

Sorry, not making it this weekend. Donked out of the Regional before the first break and then followed suit on the Online Satellites.

I"m up for all that in Edinburgh and all future events though - the games the night before, the early games before the Event ...

any idea on what i can use as a way of identifying who is in the sweepstake and who isnt?

for people who like move tables, i want them to be able to find other people in the sweepstake.

Any ideas, something that i can buy in the shops? and that doesnt look daft?
