    Default BR Building Competition

    I'm interested in developing a bankroll over a 3 month period starting with $50. To add some extra spice to the challenege I'm looking to take on a challenge with one, two or perhaps three people in the form of a prop bet. We each start with $50 and can play nothing but SNGs or MTTs because these are easy to verify on sharkscope. There's no cap on the volume of games you can play.

    The rules of the challenge are that you must follow strict BR management throughout. The winner of the challenge will be the person that has amassed the highest bankroll at the closing date of the competition (3 months from start date) tentative start date for challenge 10th April. Subject to obeying the BRM rules.

    The exact BRM rules can be agreed before comp start by those entered.

    Betwise I'd be happy to bet anything up to $500. By doing this I'm hoping to attract a bit of interest from those that might not nescesarily be grinding the pennies at the moment, no limit on who can take the challenge on. Only that they must disclose their SN to those involved, play nothing but SNGs/Mtts so they can be verified on SS, and be a regular. If you think you'd like a go at the challenge just reply in this thread.

    wow, sounds like fun. I think it's hilarious though that you're willing to bet up to $500 on a challenge where you start with $50. I understand that you're hoping to get some top tier competition, just seems goofy.
    Good luck to all who do it!

    This has potential to be the worst idea ever.

    Well if anyone thinks they can build a greater bankroll than me in the set time, following BRM - then this should be a no brainer. This is fun first and foremost. Hence me taking anyone on, but be warned - I do apply myself fully to anything I put my hand too and will be putting the hours in. I'll play Vs anyone person for $500 prop.

    The greatest thing is that it is a prop bet to build a bankroll at microstakes and he's willing to bet FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS

    no no no, this isn't a bet to develop a bankroll.

    This is a bet to develop discipline. I'm obv not playing penny stakes for the accumulation of wealth. There is a subtle difference m'lad ye see? =p

    seems like the loser would be extra screwed as he would of lost his BR probably and then out five bills. How on eartth would you keep track, I say just build it and let us know how it goes.
    I would rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal labotomy
