Making SuperNove Elite...

[Talking Poker]

A guy at PTP (very respected MTT player) is making that he will make SNE this year... WHILE maintaining his regular MTT schedule.

He's taking up to $50k of action. I'm betting $1k against (for now).

Given the below rules that I typed up myself, what are your thoughts? I think this will be EXTREMELY difficult.


----------
1. Mossified84 will reach Supernova Elite (1,000,000 VPPs).
2. Mossified84 will play a minimum of 2930 scheduled online MTTs between Stars and FTP, with an average buy in of at least $150.
3. Mossified84 will play a minimum of 200 scheduled online MTTs in each of the months of October, November, and December.
4. Other than the above tournaments, Mossified84 will only play $1/2 NL and lower cash games.
5. Mossified84 will play at least 50 live MTTs during the year.
6. Mossified84 will not play cash games while playing 4 or more tables of MTTs.
7. Mossified84 will not play any cash games between 4PM ET and 11PM ET Sunday through Wednesday of every week.
8. Any points from SNGs Mossified84 plays will be deducted from his total at the end of the year when comparing to the 1 million point requirement (ie, SNGs don't count).
9. Mossified84 will not let anyone play on his account at any time during the year, except to take over for him deep in a tourney upon emergency. Mossified84 will set up a webcam upon request.
10. Mossified84 will honor this bet under all* circumstances, including but not limited to family/medical emergencies, natural disasters, etc. Mossified84 MUST reach SNE status (1,000,000 VPPs) in 2009 in order to win the bet.

*The only exceptions to #10 is if Poker Stars leaves the U.S. Market or does away with their VPP program. In that case, the bet will be void.

i'm planning on doing it this year. anyone want to bet some action against?

[Wes]

and he has maybe 1% chance of getting there with these restrictions, and that is with me being optimistic.

[Talking Poker]

I don't know enough about the Stars VPP program and how difficult it is to earn points, but this seems nearly impossible to me, given all the restrictions, that he will be playing a full schedule at the WSOP this year, etc, etc. I "only" bet $1000, but I'm tempted to bet more like $5k.

Aaron Bartley bet $25k against him.

[Talking Poker]

Oh, and without the above or similar restrictions, absolutely no way would I bet against you. GL.

[JDMcNugent7]

Is someone escrowing all the $?
Do you have to give him the $ now and can't touch it all year?

[Talking Poker]

He is not escrowing his side (like I said, very respected, trusted guy - I met him in Vegas over the summer). For the other side, it depends if he knows you or not. I didn't have to ship anything and most people taking the bet don't, but if he doesn't know the person, yeah, they would have to escrow.

1. Whats escrow??

And that is a hell of a lot of restrictions. I guess he could get his MTT schedule over by the wednesday then multi-table $1/$2 x 12 or something. Even with this, i say 5% he makes it

[JDMcNugent7]

well can I bet through you then? I don't want to have $ locked up for a year but I do want in on the bet most likely.

I'll prob bet 2k or less

[Talking Poker]

Now that TPers have bet over $15k against Moss, I just HAVE to post this so-awesome comic made by GambleAB.

Here's hoping it's accurate.

[Mogul4]

LOL. Classic.

[Spidey44]
