Not offhand, but you'll be able to pick on eup in the airport. They'll have a range of adapters showing what countires they are for.

flipper, you can buy a box adapter thingy in the airport which covers conversions to all countries, its about 20 quid i think, handy to have.

Looking forward to this one. Had to skip Dublin EPT for first time due to bankroll issues, so I could definitely use a result out in Singapore next week. Have had this one ticked since I heard about it back in April/May as my best chance of big result this calendar year as Betfair has been my main online site for past 2 years and I will be familiar with the game (or lack thereof!) of the majority of the players in the field, as well as having much more live experience than most of them, especially in deep-stacked events. Win, draw or lose, a few of us are going to take a wee break up in Thailand afterwards for a few weeks. Hope to post an update or two during the trip. Should be fun. GL us!

Best of luck guys.

Marq

Best of luck guys. With such a strong group of young but experienced Irish players I can see at least one big result in this tourney.

Enjoy Singapore - go to the Night Safari if you get the chance. Don't go to the "Beach", wait for Thailand.

Does anybody know (flipper basically) if we're gonna be able to withdraw from and deposit to betfair accounts while over there and if not are you's just bringing mainly USdollars or what?
Btw that was a very helpful post on needing the europe to asia adapter pillowtalk.. you really should be going

Hey hali, I spoke to David Wilson about that and he said no - but he didn't sound like he really knew. His number is 0874164392 if you want to ring him.

I'm not taking a huge amount - probably $5,000, some euro, a VISA card and a Neteller card. I'm not even sure if there's going to be cash games over there but there's tourneys every day.

PS: the banks (AIB anyway) don't carry Singapore Dollars but one of my friends just came from there and she said that the US dollar is as good as anything over there. Are you on the same flight from London on Saturday?

halibut2

Yeah i've been talking to wilson already. The general consensus seems to be that you can't use ur acc over there but if there's no cash games it won't really matter. I'm sure we can find something to amuse ourselves anyway. I'm just gonna bring whatever US$ i can get tomorrow so which i'm sure will be quite an unspectacular amount. Going on a slightly later flight than you lot, leaving london around 2200 i think so will see u over there

Flipper

Hali, just got off the phone with Betfair about something else and they said that you 100% cannot use you account balance and there will 100% be no cash games. Sit-n-go's will be running alright.

halibut2

ok thanks flipper. wont need any cash so
