Snooker World Championships sweepstakes (with a difference)

[Valor]

This whole thing about someone getting to pick Willaims from nowhere, and noone having O Brine is total fucking bullshit. I'm not saying its your fault Tony, but its a fucking joke that thsi fucking busto fish enters and then cant pay up $40 dollars, and then fucks up the whole thing for everyone else

In fact I kind of change my mind, it is kind of your fault, because your shouldnt have taken the promise of such a busto fish for the money

It does fuck it up a little but not really Tony's fault. I don't understand why but alot of people seem to think that DBC is not a little weasel busto retard anymore, Tony was obviously one of these believers and was too nice to tell him to just fook off. The sooner the inevitable happens and he is site banned the better for everyone.

When you look on the thread to see that you got the bottom ranked player in the field and then the next page someone able to just "buy" a top player like Williams leaves a sour taste to be fair.

Its a good idea to have an interest in the snooker though and none of this would have been organised if it wasnt for Tony and Aya giving up their time so I thank them for that.

Now Shortstack, whats your stars username and I will ship the $15?

Hi Gavin,

Right, i've organised a ton of events on here/boards over the last few years that involve people having to transfer cash left, right and centre. Numerous headsup leagues/cups/BCOOPs/sweeps etc etc.

I have always been willing to give people a little extra time to pay up when they seem to be struggling and have given me a promise. I reckon i've been involved in escrowing over $30k in bets and while it's hard to find a happy medium, i don't think i'm managed to make too many bad decisions or piss anyone off too much in the process.

I really wanted EddieDurking to pay his fkin entry, because whatever he thinks about himself, i thought it would look really bad for him and didn't want to kick him while he was down. It is not a groundbreaking some of money, and i didn't see how he couldn't pay it.

Up until the tournament started, there was still 3/4 that hadn't quite paid in time. I offered to look after them myself and they can fix me up later, but they all went that extra bit and got the money transferred in time, apart from Chris.

I'm more pissed off than anyone else, trust me, but what you say about Williams is total bullshit. Before the tournament started, i posted lots of times in the thread and sent numerous PMs ( which i will post because it's make me look like a fool ). I said his 2 players would become available to the first 2 people that wanted to get in. I never, ever said once that a person can select which player they want, i said it would a random draw.

There's 12 players that had 2 picks, it's just a chance for someone else to get involved. Ciaran was the first person to ask for a 2nd pick, and no-one has since asked for the 2nd player. How you can say he fked it up is beyond me. I'm sure Ciaran won't mind giving his 2nd horse back and i'll transfer him back the funds if it's going to upset you so much. It's only a bit of fcking fun to keep people interested throughout the tournament and winning or losing is hardly going to change anyones life forever.

If you don't want to take part, i'll happily refund your entry fee and leave your picks idle.

I'm pissed off over the whole Eddie Durkin thing on this forum, and despite 100% knowing he wouldn't pay, i took his promises and his swears as face value because i honeslty didn't think anyone would fuck me around when i gave him every opportunity to get out.

Thanks for what you said Eoghan. Cheers mate

For the record, just so you know that i'm not taking the piss, i really tried behind the scenes to get the funds off him, and as much as i had no intention of posting any PMs, i'm doing it so show how much of a ride i was taken for.

I dont think there's a chance that you'll get this done tomorrow. It is Sunday and then you're into your prop bet. Will have to let the players go if its not done in the next hour or so. I'm not taking the hit for this one.

Tony

17/4/10 12:17

[eoghan104]

Tony,

Thanks for that post but you didnt need to go to that effort. No one for a second could be pissed off with you after the amount of time you put into organising things both here and on boards.

You obviously realise now that ED is just a disaster and cant be trusted with anything he says. The sooner more people realise the better.

This is just a bit of fun to have an interest in watching the snooker and yourself and Aya did a great job making it happen.

I hope this wont deter you from organising other sweeps and the likes as the boards would be a worse place for it.

[Guest]

lol busto?

Ive also offered to pay for fergals and williams losses WITHOUT taking any winnings so stop throwing toys out of your pram valor.

[Aya14]

Valor you are taking this too serious imo, this sweep was meant to be a bit of fun.

Now Tony did put it out there in previous posts that should Eddie not escrow his players become available. We get 1 person expressing interest. If 2 or more had shown interest then a random draw would have been done. There isn't much more Tony could have done you can see the PM's that went on between him and Eddie.

Tony about shipping back to Ciaran its too late I spent all the loots on hookers and coke and am now waiting for Shannon airport to re-open.

Bon Voyage

Also last point Eddie should never be allowed enter a sweep again taking up space and causing problems.

[eoghan104]

lol busto?

You offered to take two horses in this too and never did after LOADS of chances so what makes you think we should believe you when you say this?

[Wolves]

Did Ciaran take Wiliams? If not then wolves can just ship 15 to the person that slaughters poor Fergal. I will still provide 20 to the overall winner or runnerup.

God you're some piece of work. I won't be shipping anything for Fergal that's for sure.

Ciaran PM me stars details for Williams.

Also I won't be entering any more sweepstakes that this idiot is allowed into whether he has paid or not. Hopefully others will do this too.

[Megatron]

No problem at all giving the second horse back.

I only took it as I didnt want to see anyone stuck.

[Wolves]

Nah he's yours now. You get $15 off me anyway but can't see him winning it the way he played yesterday.

[Valor]

Was a bit drunk when I posted that, so apologies for any insult

I do appreciate what the organisation, the thing that mostly pisses me off is
"and despite 100% knowing he wouldn't pay,". I mean everybody knew that, so he just should not have been allowed in

I'm not saying Ciaran shouldnt taken Williams, or I dont want to take part, I'm just saying it fucks it up a bit and takes away a decent bit of the fun, when you know there's someone involved in the game who almost certainly wont pay up to start with, and then what if you get drawn against him? I'm not chasing up $15, but I dont want to get fucked out of it either

"Ding Junhui needs only two frames to reach the second round of the World Championship after storming into an 8-1 lead over Stuart Pettman."

Anywhere online I can watch the snooker given I'm not in UK and cant use BBC?

[White Knight]

Good result for my 2 horses in the 1st round ...

I think my opponents owe me:

Luckysparky on stars or tilt or pm if anywhere else suits ...

$30 shipped on ftp, why did I owe 30 again?

[White Knight]

$30 shipped on ftp

Cheers!

why did I owe 30 again?

The loser of each tie, will send the winner $15. If the losing player has a higher rank than the winning player, this must be doubled to $30. As each player can only lose once, the max spend is $20 entry fee + $30 match loss.

e.g

John Higgins (1) v Barry Hawkins (17)

Mark King (16) v Steve Davis (23)

if Higgins beats Hawkins and Davis beats King, then Hawkins owed Higgins $15 and King owes Davis $30

[shrapnel]

ok - i shipped Valor $15 on FTP yesterday.

Who was my other donkey and who do I owe money to?

FU Tony for setting this up imo.

greene is your other donkey playing mine at the minute. match isn't over yet

[shrapnel]

ok - i shipped Valor $15 on FTP yesterday.

Who was my other donkey and who do I owe money to?

[Wesley Harms]

Go on the Graeme Dott. Ship ship. Who has Maguire?

This lad has a big chance of earning you a few more quid

[TM2204]

This lad has a big chance of earning you a few more quid

He could hardly get out of bed a year ago; suffered a massive bout of depression & was close to packing the game in completely.

He's certainly turned things around for himself...

[Valor]

Graeme Dott wants to go into property when he is all grown up

[connie147]

Graeme Dott wants to go into property when he is all grown up

I remember being at a Steve Davis exhibition one night and he was having the craic with a few jokes for the crowd. He said his favourite memory from the crucible finals was when Graham Dott won it, and then went for a swim in the cup. I lolled quite hard.

Connie
