You obviously dont read the news BetfairPokerPR [;)]
it could have been worse, you could have made it a Liverpool game!
Ten days ago, i was frantacially trying to find out how I could cancel bids on ebay. I made a bid on a mickey mouse outfit and was four minutes and 7 seconds away from owning Liverpool.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Klup.

Well, put it this way, "Is there a cash alternative?"

Can i suggest a prize - player with most rebuys and add ons gets a prize of sorts!
Good idea - winner gets 1 Man Utd ticket, runner up 2 tickets etc, etc. What a total fiasco. Betfair should look seriously at their support of Man Utd.
They back Barcelona as well! UnReal, i was forced to watch a Barcelona game through gritted teeth!
But - for what its worth Lord BetfairPokerPR - i will be playing in support of this worthy cause!
If I cash - you have my written permission to deduct the cashed amount out of my account and credit it to the charity.
If i win a seat or package prize, then I pledge 25% of any subsequent winning as well

I've been to a couple of Betfair bashes. Had an invite to play in a poker tournament in Leicester Square and won two tickets to see basketball at the O2 arena. In both cases especially the latter, the hospitality was unbelievable.
In addition to this I organise a charity race night in aid of our local hospice every year and the Betfair marketing department for the last 3 years have provided me with fleeces, caps etc for prizes - this year they were especially generous.
I might have a bit of a moan about the poker software, but I've never played anywhere else, it was a logical extension from my sports betting. They have some fantastic promotions on here - big apple coming up.
The Man United comments were tongue in cheek. Should think whoever wins them will have a great day/evening out.
It will be a pleasure to play in the charity tournament. Wish I could be as generous as the Klup, had a bad run of it lately, but, intend to be loose and hopefully buy in a few times and add to the pot.
Hope the forum supports the game and it is a success.

Can't see how that improves it klup and surely it is too late anyway?
You should all give up now, if I play this I win. I am the king of betfair charity poker tourneys, so much so that they don't invite me anymore!

20% of $30 = $6 contribution
50% of $20 = $10 contribution (therefore $4 more per player)
$30 buy in with a $20 rebuy, rules out more low stakes players.
My view is that lower stakes and less time for rebuys and softer levels will encourage more players to take part. I would rather see 100 players as opposed to just 60.
Whats the bet, whoever pencilled the game in, has requested it be set up with 5 or 8 minute levels as well? Imagine a 90 minute rebuy with 5 minute levels! LOL - betfairPokerPR please be honest, what the blind levels were supposedly going to be?

No, you don't get invited anymore as the best VIP/Key Account manager doesn't work there now ;)

Keith - you are ten because your bounty will be won. Doobs on the otherhand could go on to win this.
fwiw 100% agree with Klup on buy in etc. $20 would be much better along with $10 rebuys. I'll play regardless but think you would get a much larger field, hence more money for charity with a lower buy in.
i will play if im around because its for charity, but for future reference i suspect more people hate man united than like them .
i genuinely wouldnt go and watch them unless you paid me.

If i win Man Utd tickets, you have my permission to burn them. As long as you post a video of the act
