Boards SSF Last Longest ''Horse Race'' Bet

BigDragon · 21-12-2006 10:57am #1

Right, same as last year:

You get a random boardster as your ''Horse'' in lucky draw just before the off. That ''Horse'' lasts the longest then you win.

Open to all boardsters in attendance. If you cant come then you can send money in with someone else, or get someone to front for you. There will be no money transfer bollox allowed as we want to hand over ALL the cash on the night.

The event, even though it warrants it, shall not be covered by antesup.com, unless Dev is knocked out early and sober.

€20 entry. Winner gets 50% SSF gets 50%.

I will be on the dealers desk upstairs to collect.....no money no ''horse''.

Collusion only illegal if its blatant and you are caught.

Names here please.

Good luck.

Last year every fecker wanted to change their choice and the late arrivals had no choice. This way I can do the draw a level in or at the last minute and still get as many as poss in.

Shut up whinging....its for the kids.

ollyk1 · 21-12-2006 11:32am

Looks like i'll be there so obviously I'm in.

BigCityBanker · 21-12-2006 11:42am

Drunk, tired, narky, hungover - talk to BigD.

so what time does this card game kick off at? how much is it to enter? what format? (freezeout/DC/gamboooool fest)? and what charity is it for? any other relevant info would also be appreciated.

karlh · 21-12-2006 11:47am

Me please, i'll even wear my pony outfit.

DeVore · 21-12-2006 12:29pm

Disturbing in OH so many ways.

BCB
Kicks off at 8:30, reg at 8.
Its a 50+50 single rebuy.
Its in aid of www.santastrikeforce.com which is a charity closely associated with Boards, funded by Boardsies and run by me at Xmas because I was a bad bad person in a previous life seemingly.

There is a thread in the Events/Tournies for it.

HalfBaked · 21-12-2006 6:12pm

I'm in, with value such as Olly in the game I would be foolish to play anywhere else....:p

Doc Farrell · 21-12-2006 6:28pm

I'm running late but I'll be there for kick off. there had better be someone dressed as Santy or there'll be tears!

BigCityBanker · 21-12-2006 6:29pm

currently consuming half pound of sausages along with a half pound of rashers, a stick of white pudding, toast and tea and then I will be in.

i could respond with some taunt involving a novelty side bet but as I will in all likelihood be donating tonight given my current state of tiredness and the fact that it looks like I'll be going straight from work I have to agree value there is.....

See you later Peter.

I wouldn't worry Olly, my taunt will surely result in me being the first one out.;)

karlh · 22-12-2006 10:29am

good horsey!

have a sugar lump!

brianmc · 22-12-2006 11:09am

I'm very jumpy this morning. I'm awaiting the terminal sound of a shotgun. :-|

DeVore · 22-12-2006 1:17pm

My horse knocked me out then refused at the last fence.

Its getting turned into glue the next available opportunity.

DeV.

Solksjaer · 22-12-2006 1:29pm

In honour of Karl...

My lovely horse running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist,

My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the night.

Jaysus Ted, I think I'm going mad

ollyk1 · 22-12-2006 2:37pm

I have a nervous nagging feeling that Des might learn how to put pictures on the interweb......

Solksjaer · 22-12-2006 2:42pm

Many happy returns sir!

DeVore · 22-12-2006 11:53pm

omg... the amount of min raising, it literally became a joke.

DeV.

kincsem · 23-12-2006 1:55pm

For researchers of the poker archive in future years what about these "Bad Santa" presents in the Santa Strike Force charity game. :eek:
AA v AQ ...... flop QQx
QQ v AQ ..... flop xxA, turn Q, river A
I wasn't involved in either hand, other than suggesting pre-flop to the esteemed boardster holding the AA in the first hand, that if he lost there is a bad beats posting section on boards.

5starpool · 23-12-2006 4:08pm

Don't forget about the lovely hand where I raised with JJ, Tom limp reraised me all in and I call to find he has 77. Flop KK7, then I start shouting for Tom who was dealing to give me a K, and it duly arrives on the turn. If the 7 came on the river it would have been rigged, but it didn't.
