Tweeted a pic, At around starting stack (t12.5 k)

Fml on wait list to enter tourney they have a huge bad beat jackpot and won't devote enough tables to the tourney.

I'm alternate #25 and they called #5 just now.  May get in, may have to refund
BTCblade and Crosby.  Either can cancel if they want as well. 

FML really want to play this / so many horrible old ppl that play like 2005

1st coins to hit the hash gets it.  Alternatively, a Seals Xfer is fine too.

grabbing a shower, gotta leave for tourney soon, check this thread in 10

because I'm selling 2 shares into a tournament, I'm going to post updates on twitter tonight to prove that I entered and played the event.

Then this venture will have an underlying business unit, i.e. something that could make money, not just a story about arbitrage.

"BTCBlade" from Seals snapped up the first share

This may be fun for this community and I can tweet pix of my chips and update on the tournament status throughout the night.

The tournament in question tonight:

Location:  The Orleans Hotel & Casino
Start Time:  7pm PT (in 1.5 hrs)
Buy in:  $125
Top Prize: ~$5,000 (based on entrants, o/u 200 show up for this each week)
current Gox USD / BTC price:  $12.27
Markup:  1.2   (i.e. for 25/125 of this tournament you pay $30)  This is also expressed as "20% markup" and is very standard for buying a piece of this tournament.  In fact, my ROI is extremely high in this tournament and I'm selling this at a discount.  Of course with variance, there is a large sample size needed to realize this.  I may keep doing this if it's good for everyone.  
Price for 20% of my tournament tonight:  BTC2.45

I am only going to sell two $25 pieces of this tournament for ~$30.  i.e. you will have 25/125 or 1/5 or 20% of my tournament winnings for $30 USD.  I will update my twitter:  twitter.com/bryanmicon about once per hour tonight with chip counts, prize pool info, and will take some pix of the stack regularly.  I'll do this until I bust or win.  The tournament starts at 7pm and a winner is declared usually around 4am PT.  I have won or finished top 3 in this tournament about a half dozen times, although of course it's easy to bust this.  It's a poker tourney.  

Some things to consider:  

1)  A good poker player loses most tournaments.
2)  But the times you score it's huge, like 50x your buy in.  
3)  There is little time before the tourney starts.  only 2 shares available, and if some1 wants both that's fine.  1st come 1st served.
4)  If I win more than $1k then I'll need a day or so to head to a bitinstant bank and ship coins out.


So, if you would like to buy 20% of this tournament tonight send 2.45 coins to:

First 2 get the pieces, if a 3rd or more sends I will send back.  

1)  If I lose the bet, I'll give the 5% commission directly to a hash of PatrickHarnett's choosing.   Next excuse for not betting me now?

2)  Sadpanda and others that hate me & love PattrickHarnet:  I know you will disregard these words now, but I do hope in the future you can look at this post and again understand I'm trying to help you here:  This is a "Confidence scam"  or "confidence trick"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confidence_trick 

PatrickHarnet has worked extremely hard to foster a community of supporters, currently there exists an almost Catholic level of allegiance to this user.  It is transparent to some users familiar with these types of scams.  Sandpanda + others - you will hate me right now because of the confidence trick, but please in a few months I really hope you return here and see I was working for good.

+1 and I respect you betting the other side.  Nice to have an escrow service to avoid the next Matt Wright fiasco, even for small amounts.  I barely understand the betsofbitco.in process.  I wish they would simplify it.  I paid .1 BTC to make the statement (seems wrong to pay to help them have more action) but I see I do get 5% of total bets in commission.  That means if 100 BTC gets fired on this I'll make 5 coins.  In 3 months.  Doesn't seem like a huge money making venture to me or I would make statements all the time.  I just fire one on there when I think I'm right and others think I'm wrong. 


symbolic 1 coin, symbolic bet.  I barely understand the betsofbitco.in payouts - it seems like their system could use a tweak - but I'm firing and putting BTC where mouth is.

I bet a token 1 BTC that Patrick will not pay back investors by the end of this year. 

http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=696

Plain and simple, escrow-ed, I bet 1 bitcoin that PatrickHarnett does not pay back all investors in this program by the end of this year. 

think he will? 

"I trust Starfish" ?

let's see how much you trust him in terms of BTC bet on him paying back everyone in full with 3+ months to do it.

tytytyty

over 150+ players in tonight's DonkDown freeroll.   

Freemoney has worked so hard to make this site as popular as it is today - I have to thank him again for an amazing system he keeps running. 


Major improvement to affiliate system underway.  If you own a large site and want to market Seals, that's the biggest way you can help us out and also of course make BTC for each player for life.  >>>   affiliates@sealswithclubs.eu   <<< 

updated to keep up with the new scams

that is fucking awesome.

updated this slightly, needs much, much more work unfortunately 

what if he offers 4% per week?

and you?  what's your plans?

well this the definition of FUD.  totally inaccurate.

1)  Pirate has the scammer tag.  Here look:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35827

2)  Hashking "trying to pay back people best he can" is horrible logic IMO.  This guy is just like the others:  borrow at high rates, use future borrowing to pay past interest.  it's not a sustainable system.  It's a scam.

3)  I willing to escrow a large bet on Kluge not paying everyone back in full in a timely matter.

scaring people to get a kick out of it?  hardly.  we're trying to help bitcoin from being associated with these scams.  We don't profit from this, save if anyone bets us that they are scams and actually pays.
