I'd say its a fair assumption that most people from here who have cashed in the last while had a few percentage deals and swaps done. I'd actually be very surprised if they had 100% of their own action.

People aren't always going to broadcast what deals were done so you may not get many replies on this thread but I'd assume that 90% of the people on here who cashed for a few quid weren't the sole benefactors of their wins.

Also if you expand this query to include EPT/IO backing then you'd see a lot more people got money back from various people - the WSOP is mega variance afterall.

Roundtower and kpnuts have main event cashes too iirc, not sure if they had sold %'s though.

pretty much all of us who cashed in 06 had some % out or swopped.
from boards that would include me (47k), kp nuts (20k), roundtower (164ishk), smoothcall, robin lacey and im sure a few others i cant think of.
a friend of mine had a decent % in someone who cashed for over $1m last year, so these investments can worth out well from time to time.

Yes.

Part of the pleasure was hearing from the player how his main concern was getting past the bubble in the ME to get something for his backers.

Its just like buying a lottery ticket. You are hoping your player gets hit by the deck about twenty times.

I like a gamble (Washington Irving for the Irish Derby on Sunday 42s on Betfair)

the person who coaches me into a bankroll position to go to vegas comfortably gets half my winnings there.
