i bet against the other guys, but leatherass is such a machine i think I'll leave this one be...

i dunno how people can do these sort of prop bets, to have not only the skill to grind out 3-4 ptbb 24 tabling 400nl constantly for a month but the dedication and endurance to do so, majorly sick. This is the opinion of a guy who doesnt play nearly enough due to boredom but i guess for the aptly named leatherass this sort of work ethic is almost normal, gl to him.

whatever happened with the wgcrider bet?.....and lol at all the "this is the most epic prop bet" comments. i mean after watching high stakes poker, I remember them commenting on how they could make more off the prop bets than they would on the felt. but i guess they're referring to on th3 interwebz

its definitly the sickest poker realated prop bet ive seen on the internet. He could easily get 1 mill in action against if he wanted to. i would not bet against this one though.

btw frosst, WCGrider lost his bet miserably.

His most recent post in the 2+2 thread:

I am a douche and can understand people's escrowing concerns, however I do like men and have noticed very very few people who actually want to put action on this that are complaining. The bottom line is that while some people may see it as unfair, I have my own set of issues. First of all we currently have no super reliable escrow. SO as it stands right now I beating it and am expected to put up $250k which is an awfully big number and someone could run off with it and I get stung. If someone runs off with it most people lose out on $10k or less and that is not likely to hurt any of these high stakes pros whatsoever. Secondly, some saying that they obviously know that I am not going to welch on the bet, but they are concerned about how long it will take to get the rest of the money. Well, on the day I lose I can just have some fellow high stakes buddies or fellow team members transfer me over the money needed and I will have it to the escrow in 24 hours or less. I can then settle with them privately.

But like I said before, I am a douche and this shouldn't be an issue and I am not forseeing this part to be a problem. Since there is so much action against me I plan on just handpicking those that I trust the most and taking their action. These people I choose will be the ones who clearly see that it would only compound my loss if I failed to pay them.

As far as me wanting less action goes, it is not that I want less, it's just that I would prefer to not go bankrupt by losing this bet...lol If I book all of the action against me I would be booking like 1.5M probably and that would be pretty darn stupid of me. The reasons I want only $250k is to minimize the reasons people may want to mess with me in some way, and also because I want to risk an amount that makes sense based on my financial picture. In the first post I made in this thread I said I was a douche and wanted a BARE MINIMUM of $250k in action. I didn't say that meaning that I really wanted 1M in action, but rather didn't forsee this kind of attention and wanted $250k or a little more. I toyed with $500k, but decided that that was probably a little too high given my risk tolerance. If I had 10 million dollars I would book every cent of the action offered in this thread. I am 100% confident that I will win this bet. But in life ya never know for sure and just in case I am wrong, I'd prefer not to lose too big of a chunk of my net worth than I can stomach.

I am a douche and am going to discuss more about the final terms of the bet and I will post within the next 2 days in a new thread that details everything in entirety and then we can go from there and hopefully come to terms and start taking firm commitments from potential bettors. I want this bet to go down and am looking forward to it like a kid on Christmas morning. I have mentally trained for something like this for a very long time and excited to prove to myself mostly, that all of the hard work I have put in on my mental game can stand up under the most trying of conditions anyone in the history of online poker has endured. This is not going to be an easy bet, obviously, but I thrive under these conditions and am excited for the challenge.

i edited some of it.
