In the unlikely event of someone picking a FT player what is the payout as this will be played in November?
3) As the final table will take place in November and for the sake of this competition, final prize money will be deemed to have been won based on the final chip counts of the 9 finalists. For example, the chip leader will be deemed to win first place prize money, etc. Actual prize money will be used from positions 10 and down. This will enable us to conclude this competition in mid July.

Just wondering - if one of your picks happens to not play in the Main Event do you get the money you have "staked" to them back in your bankroll? Realise it may take too much work to look out EVERY player but if you can prove they"ve not played via some sort of link I mean...

lol, no - sorry!
quite a few people have picked Durrrr, was gonna pick him myself, but then this thought came to my mind
....he is a cash game specialist, and he will not take the event seriously,
look at it from his point of view?
"why am i sitting here, im board because im just playing 1 table, for like 10 hours, and to make money i will be playing for 5 days straight when i could be playing 8 tables on Fulltilt making $1000s every hour from Gus,...stuff this -EV im losing money without my laptop...... im going all in".

Dwan knows how to apply constant pressure, he will fire bet after bet after bet.
what he hopes for is people think he has air when he has a monster, he will get paid a lot for his image i think, or he will bust early playing for the win

Durrr wouldn"t enter if he didnt want to win. He knows it"s a several day grind before making any money, and a much lower EV than playing PLO on FT - but he will be expecting that, and be prepared for it.

Not really. You and a lot of people have 10% of 10 players. If one of them cashes for the minimum you"re only making around the $2,000 mark (the min-cash at the 2008 WSOP was $21230). At 10% stake of a player and having one player cashing, like you said, you would need (basing my calculations on the 2008 payout list) one player to break the top 63 to beat his $10k.
2008 payout:
64th - 72nd = $96,500
55th - 63rd = $115,800
While spreading your bets accross 10 players gives you a greater chance of having a player make this top 63 in all reality you will either need multiple cashes or one MAJOR cash to beat the $10k that he"s keeping in his pocket. Like someone already said though - there"s no fun in keeping the $10k in your pocket.
Thank you please.

Transfer via Full Tilt or Pokerstars good with you?
Firstly my taking two days to reply didn"t change any of my factors - the $10k isn"t going to change, we are nowhere near the money and as far as i"m aware none of your picks had dropped out of the events. However in the following few days around half of your list had crashed out, call me cynical ::) I already said I don"t gamble other than poker and the odd poker bet, you were the one wanted to bet in the first place. You"re right though, the fun has gone out of it.
Stuart is still going to be in the top 5 with his $10k when the final figures come in ;)

I just reread the OP and i dont get this bit am i missing something?
If we have already given Phil Ivey 7K/Gus 2K/Kabbaj 1K, why do we deduct 10K off the total? That means we are paying twice. Unless of course you are working on Profit in wich case the lads who kept their 10K have now got $0.
Here is an example of a Fantasy Staker Scorecard:
1) Phil Ivey - 70%
2) Gus Hansen - 20%
3) John Kabbaj - 10%
If when the tournament has concluded, we find that Ivey has won $100,000 and Kabbaj has won $50,000 then your return would be 70% of $100,000 ($70,000) and 10% of $50,000 ($5,000), or $75,000 in total. You would have to deduct the $10,000 in stakes leaving you with a final Fantasy Bankroll of $65,000.
