We believe the game can add a real sense of excitement to following the World Series of Poker, so I hope you"ll all participate. To that end, we"ve agreed a promotion with Grosvenor which will see the top ten stakers of every event rewarded with Goliath sat tokens (1st - £30, 2nd to 10th - £5) and the top ten overall on July 18th, will each receive a £120 seat to the Goliath.
Here"s a quick "how to play" guide for those unsure of the way the game will work.
So to clarify, this is a free to play fantasy staking game. You will receive the value of one buy in for each event, and each event will have its own leaderboard, sorted by your profit. Be profitable and make the top ten and you win a prize, it"s that simple! Plus it will make reading the updates from Las Vegas all the more interesting as you look out for your own stable of players. Get staking!

Hello everyone, I am going to be updating you all on Staker through the WSOP.
I thought I had escaped but no, Des got me in the end......
Title: Re: Staker
Post by: TightEnd on June 01, 2016, 18:51:05 PM
So the WSOP starts tonight...
the first Staker event is Event 2, the Colossus II. Just expecting the 30,000 runners over 6 starting flights. Going to be easy to pick a few players you think will cash right?
Just go to www.staker.co.uk
1) Register via facebook 2) Choose an event 3) Choose your players 4) Confirm. It"s that simple.
repeat for each of the nominated events in the list.....
Does the opportunity to take part close as soon as an event starts? Or can you stake Day 2 players even if day 1 has started?
It will be day 1"s for the WSOP promo, JP, but we do intend to start offering day 2"s thereafter.

So the WSOP is underway
731 players in event 1 the casino employees, this compares to 688 last year
23 players remain and it was a pleasant surprise to see a Union Jack in the list of chip counts
Kerryjane Craigie, who is the Manager of the London Hippodrome card-room, sitting 2nd overnight and in the hunt for the $75,000 first prize. Nothing like starting the series with a bang, hopefully
For Staker, our action gets underway today with ColossusII with six starting flights and in some quarters expectations of up to 30,000 players
Of course for an event of this size, a staking strategy is a bit different to many other events.
Looking at the leaderboard, players have so far chosen 70 players. Haystack, meet needle.
http://www.staker.co.uk/leaderboard.asp?t=&e=10
In terms of hints and tips it will be a bit easier for the weekend stud event, with 100-150 runners tops at $10,000 buy in and a pretty defined player pool. I"ll run through some of the possible runners and riders tomorrow
It"s GUKPT Walsall this week too and there is a leaderboard running there. Whilst not as straightforward as a $10k stud to work out who is playing, we can at least go to past GUKPT results, rule out those we know are in vegas, and choose accordingly. A GUKPT will have a fairly constant pool of players supplemented by local qualifiers.

Standard Facebook login app, John. We don"t want it to be invasive at all - so it should not be automatically sharing anything with your friends. If it is please shout. We do not receive any information on your friends - just your name and email address. You have the option within the game to share stuff with your friends, which is probably where the friends list comes in. But that is completely optional for us all.

A reminder that for the first of the WSOP Staker events, which starts tonight (Event 2 Colossus II ) your stakes need to be placed before 9pm UK time tonight.
After that you can stake for future events on the list, but not Colossus

I"m favouring the methodical approach, David.
So, for event #3 $10,000 Stud Championship.
I"m using the "Study the Stats" link on the Staker homepage to go to the Hendon Mob rankings page.
Scrolling down brings me to all of the WSOP stats that I could ever hope to see.
I"m immediately going to do a search on the WSOP Stud rankings to see who has shown form over the years. I might pick 3 or 4 of those guys - lowering the percentage for older players, maybe increasing it for newer players (perhaps more likely to be there as their achievements are more likely to have been recent - definitely not a science though!).
Then I"ll click through to the WSOP 2015 results and search for Stud.
I"ll go through the 2015 $10k Stud Championship result in detail. I"ll probably pick 3 or 4 of those guys and take a decent percentage of each.
I might then go through the results of the 2 or 3 other Stud events that happened in that series at lower buy ins.
I"m generally looking for names I"m vaguely familar with, suggesting they are regulars and stud players and more likely to be back.
Ultimately, none of these guys are guaranteed to show. Hell they might walk into the venue with $10k in their pocket and be accosted by someone they owe money to, or just go off and play something differerent. That"s one of the very human things about poker - you just can"t predict what will happen!
When one of your guys turns up on a live update or as an end of day chipleader - it"s quite a buzz though!
Best of luck with the series.

No problem at all, Charlie.
If we start with the WSOP rankings.
Navigate to this page: http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/rankings/ (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/rankings/)
Scroll down until you see the WSOP rankings section, which looks like this:-
You can see from the image, that a single click will get you a list of the WSOP"s best performing players in many categories, including All Time Stud. This would be your primary search and it would give you a list of several potential players to select.
To look at a recent set of results, you could take this link to the WSOP 2015 results.
Once there, you will see the 60 odd events from last year"s series. Then if you search the page (CTRL F on your keyboard) and type in Stud to the search box, you can scroll through the 5 results - one of which is last year"s $10k Stud event. Click through on any event to see which players cashed and that offers you another selection of players to choose from.
Try that for starters! :)

Event 1, nearly a bracelet for the UK as KerryJane Craigie of the London Hippodrome finished 2nd behind Christopher Sands for $46,000
Event 2 Colossus II
two flights yesterday and 1b is ongoing
1a 108 of 2153 are reported through but will wait for the official end of day sheets to be made public to be sure.
Plenty of British interest near the top of the chip counts including Max Silver
there are another two flights today at 10am and 4pm Vegas time, then another two tomorrow
Event 3 the $10k Seven card stud championship begins tomorrow. that"s a Staker event and last year ran as event 27. This time its much earlier in the series and I wonder if that will affect who plays?
Last year 91 entries and it was won by Brian Hastings. Max Pescatori, Dan Kelly and Scott Clements finalled
the winning hand began 2d 5d Jd with the Jd showing. Fish, i tell ya.
Anyway who might we expect to play this?
Well Brit wise i think we have to focus on the usual suspects
a) who plays mixed games regularly? b) who has $10k to play Stud? c) are they in Vegas?
My candidates would be
Stephen Chidwick Matthew Ashton Richard "Chufty" Ashby Adam Owen
Whilst to categorise this as an "easy" bracelet to win is wrong, for the big boys who want to win multiple bracelets, and i know of some prop bets going around this year....this is a good shot at one
so we"d expect Negraneau, Hellmuth, Mercier, Seidel etc all to be in the line up...

After 1a and 1b of Colossus there are 5402 entries
over the four starting flights last year there were 22,374 players
Tom "Middy" Middleton is right near the top of the 1b chip counts. One Staker player has staked him, for £143. Well done Ross Warren!
other notables who played on day 1 are
Allen Kessler, Phil Laak, Dutch Boyd, Barry Greenstein, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi, and former Main Event champions Carlos Mortensen and Joe Cada. Maria Ho (through and staked on staker) Scott Clements (through and staked on staker)
"While these players get a rest, we still have another four Day 1 flights to play and if they so wish, players that have busted 1A or 1B can re-enter into a later flight, even if they have finished in the money. This allows players to cash more than once in the Colossus, as each flight pays 15 percent of the field and will play into the money. All remaining players will reconvene on Sunday at 2pm for the combined Day 2 of play."

* There will definitely be a new champion this year. Last year"s winner ,Brian Hastings, chose not to defend his title.
* Steve Weiss overnight chip leader.
* Other big stacks and notables include three times WSOP bracelet winner George Danzer (274,000), Chad J. Brown (238,000), Frank Kassela (199,000), Jeff Lisandro (141,000), Brandon Shack-Harris (79,000) and 14-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth (65,000).
* Stephen Chidwick in 9th and Adam Owen 23rd remain for the UK
* only 33 players bagged up chips and the top 14 spots will be paid.

Four events have been taking place overnight as follows
- Colossus is down to the last 40 or so. It looks like one Brit is left, Ben Heath. Full summary when the end of play stuff comes through
David ODB Baker is the highest profile name i recognise left
- the $10K 7CS is on the final table with 7 left, i will put the result up when it has finished
Quite the seven players. Benjamine, Danzer, R Mizrachi, Forrest and Chen among them
Stephen Chidwick and Adam Owen cashed in 11th and 12th respectively
both of these were Staker events. anyone claiming staking a casher or final tabler before the results are calculated? I expect there are a few ODBs, Danzers, Mizrachis and Chidwicks around...
In non staker events

- the $10K 7CS is on the final table with 7 left, i will put the result up when it has finished
Quite the seven players. Benjamine, Danzer, R Mizrachi, Forrest and Chen among them
Stephen Chidwick and Adam Owen cashed in 11th and 12th respectively
both of these were Staker events. anyone claiming staking a casher or final tabler before the results are calculated? I expect there are a few ODBs, Danzers, Mizrachis and Chidwicks around...
I"m feeling confident here. Staked Forrest and The Grape ;)

The result is in for WSOP #3 $10k Stud Championship.
The high buy in and small field of 87 runners made this our highest risk event to date. Stakers participated in volume, placing 183 stakes at a value of £322k.
The players did not disappoint either, bringing in 21 profitable stakes. Indeed, stakers owned a piece of the top 4 finishers and 7 of the 14 players who cashed.
With those figures, we might have expected a bloodbath in payouts. However, the percentages held by stakers were relatively low and the final outcome of £133k paid saw the big guy with the baseball bat win once again.
Congrats to Leigh Wiltshire who topped the leaderboard, with a profit of just over £40k in the event.

We are declaring Colossus as the first win of the series for the Stakers!
With none of this evening"s 9 finalists backed, we"ve applied your cashes a day early and are pleased to say the Stakers took £26.8K in payouts, from £19.0k in stakes.
A massive 42 of the 136 stakes placed were successful, with Roddy Farmer recording the single biggest return of £2.3k, thanks to his 63% ownership of Scott Clements.
It was Matt Whitting who posted the best overall performance though, with profitable stakes on Kelly Minkin, Maria Ho and Matt Marafioti giving him a £2.6k profit on the event.

WSOP #11 Dealers Choice Championship - the $10k Championship event
this starts tonight.
Deadline for stakes is 9pm UK time
tomorrow"s event is WSOP# the $1500 Seven Card Razz. Now this should be a chance for profitable stakes and some detective work to find out who might be in a smaller field than some other events
this starts tomorrow
Deadline for stakes, you might sense a pattern here, is 9pm tomorrow

My feedback on Staker is that it"s great fun and has real potential. I think that if you stake a person in an event and they don"t take part then that stake should be classed as a non runner so a neutral outcome to staker. It"s difficult to know who is taking part in events and you can "lose" 10k without even having a run for your money. It"s only a bit of fun I know that and administering that is almost impossible so I think I"ve changed my mind before getting to the end of my post. 😀

I agree with this, non runner scores 0 would make the game a lot more attractive (and i am enjoying it a lot as it is, so no complaints)
As to whether the admin is feasible, don"t know

On events of this size the admin would be horrendous trying to see if somebody ran or not.... Colossus, Millionaire Maker, Main Event - imagine having to check all Stakers selections to see if they ran or not, nevermind finished in the cash..

Yes agree great fun.. Would also like to see if the profit margin for those who have staked most. Say you stake a couple of tournaments and lose only a small percentage of stake compared to those who have staked every event. Wonder if someone who is sitting in top 10 come near end of series has a profit but only stakes a couple of events doesn"t bother to stake anymore?
