Week Two: Action for Sale

There was a lot of interest in my action for Week One, so I've put together a package for Week Two. Again, I'm not a professional player, and I'm not going to set up some kind of staking account to handle this. Let's keep this friendly.

The Package:

  • Event 25: $500 NLH Freezeout OR Golden Nugget $500 HORSE (two bullets)
    • Which of these events I play will depend on my results later this week
  • Event 28: $600 NLH/PLO Mix  (two bullets)
  • Event 37: $1500 HORSE (one bullet)
  • Event 40: $1500 Razz (one bullet)
  • Price: $55 = 1%
Yes, that's a mark up of $3. No, I'm not trying to price gouge anyone. The round number is simply for ease of my accounting.

Terms:

  • For everyone 1% a backer purchases, that backer will receive 1% of the prize pool remaining at the end of all four events.
  • Any unused buy ins will go back into the prize pool. That means that if I don't play an event, or if I don't fire a second bullet in an event for which I've budgeted a second bullet, you get your money back for that event/bullet.
  • If I cash the event: (1) 100% of the original buy in will go back into the prize pool; (2) 75% of any winnings above the buy in will go into the prize pool.
  • For example: if I buy into an event for $1500, I cash, and I receive $4500 then the prize pool would be as follows. First, the $1500 buy in goes in. Then 75% of the $3000 profit goes in, which is $2250. So the prize pool from that event would be $3750, and a backer receives $37.50 per percent they own.
  • The 25% downward adjustment in the profit covers the IRS withholding rate on gambling winnings.
  • EXCEPTION: In the event of a substantial prize, I may adjust the payouts to reflect actual tax liability. Basically, if I win $1 million dollars or something, the taxes will be more than 25%, so I'll have to adjust the payout percentages accordingly. This is the kind of problem we're hoping to have.
  • I am not promising or guaranteeing that you'll get any money back at all. Buy at your own risk.
  • I will sell up to 25% of my action. First come, first served.
Feel free to ask questions if you have them.
