Hi there,
I've just seen the new format for the Kunkuwap ambassador challenge I think its a good idea (For those that like sports) Although a day out at a sports event doesn't appeal to me, Playing kunku wap DOES Therefore I would like to make a suggestion for the poker team to consider in the future As a poker player, I look to improve my game. We DON'T all get the chance to play pro's regulary Something like this tournament / League would surely appeal to ALL ONLINE players IF : We won cash prizes And / Or Maybe had the chance to play say a 1 hour session vs the betfair sponsored pro with a starting bankroll of whatevers accumalated throughout the competition, Or even for a seat in the main event of the year If the games say $5, We pay $7 or whatever it would have to be to make this possible to cover the cost John kunku wap Tabatabai is known to us for his POKER, And yet the prize is NOT POKER related C'mon kunku, Sort something out |

I'm into my 3rd year of playing poker, I typed that above because that way somebody DOES have a chance to go on and do something for themselves in the poker world
Big money opportunitys, At affordable prices Betfair have a pro to work with, And If they come up with some good POKER RELATED ideas. I believe TEAM betfair can discover new talent / Create more pro's I dont know the present situation, But it seems to me like betfair are losing more professional players than they are keeping Kunku has done it, He's a PRO PLAYER ---------- So why the prize on offer is a day out at a sports event with a PRO poker player is beyond me ---------- When he could be doing something in the poker world, And working towards producing more players and improving the game for the site which is sponsoring him whilst offering more opporunitys to other players |

Great prizes BF, I'm sure 5LEEPY will donate his prize back to the site in return for an hours humiliation playing hu with Kunku.

Please stop moaning about freebies 5leepy.

C'mon now,
Surely it makes sense to have the poker pro work with the players It's like going to a boxing dinner show, And the first prize of a competition being to go and watch the world tiddlywinks championship with tyson (I dont think this would appeal so much to boxing / Tyson fans) lol I'm not saying kunku is tyson, But I'm sure he could make more of a impact at the tables rather than at some stupid football match I'm NOT moaning about freebies, In fact If you scroll back to earlier in the thread you will see I suggested players pay more for a game to accumulate enough to cover the costs and to give an opportunity for someone to win a nice big juicey amount at the end off it If kunku's gonna be an ambassador for the game, They may aswell work together to his full potential (In the time they have) He is now the only sponsored PRO player that I know on betfair, So in my eyes it would make sense for betfair to introduce more games with opportunitys for the players to play the sponsored pro with prizes that make people say WOW, I want to play at BETFAIR which would bring more players to the game Give him a pay rise, Whatever He is supposed to be the face of betfair, I DEMAND betfair have fresh talks with kunku and give the customers what they want PS : I dont do the lottery |

regarding the prizes do u have to be english to win them
|

By:
As 2nd gets $250 I'd imagine Betfair will give you the prize and a travel allowance into the bargain. Reckon each package could be worth $1k imo.
|

By:
lol at 5leepy DEMANDing betfair renogotiate their contract with John.
I am sure John wouldn't mind you playing him. You can find him at the 2/4 and 3/6 cash tables. I am sure he won't mind if you sit. |
|
By:
If im on the verge of winning, im moving to live in australia :)
A return ticket to aus would be cool! LOL |
|
By:
5LEEPY would put Kunku in his place. 5LEEPY cashed in 14 straight 10 cents games in a row bet Kunku has never had that streak.

I do voluntary work on the rough council estate where I live on a Wednesday night, so can't really play this very often. Having said that the twice I have played it I've won enough to buy into a decent local live event, so not sure what the issue is here ?
There's cash to be won every Wednesday, theres a decent stash to be won from the leaderboards,and I've no doubt someone on here would give you a decent wedge if you had to sell the winners package. The games themselves run for about 4 hours, so the setup is ideal for the recreational player who wants a decent game/nights sleep. The standard is good given its about 4 quid to play, the crack at the tables is usually good ,it's restricted to the BF community, and you now have JT giving a running commentary on your play at the final table. Lets at least give them some credit when they run a decent promo. |

By:
I don't often play it, but fully respect the game and the concept behind it.
Its a good promo, excellent value especially for a recreational player, and I think the sporting prizes are super - there are zillions of poker prizes out there and having a poker prize linked to sports events might entice the odd sports regular to have a go at poker. THATS HOW & WHY I STARTED PLAYING POKER!! |

By:
I echo Chip. This and the invites. Well played BF.

not good prizes for a woman:( who h8s sports:(
|
|
By:
^^ [:o] a wee bit sexist with your comments there gabs [;)] why would a sports prize be gender specific?
|
|
By:
Well i have read everything and i would have to agree with Sleep, i use betfair for poker only and if im playin in a poker league i would expect the prizes to be poker related not to go watch some other sporting event which i more than likely aint intersted in. If i wanted to go to the sporting vent in the 1st place wouldnt i of alrady bought myslf tickets?

Thanks for the feedback.
Glad you like the look of it ! If you don't want to take up the sporting tickets I am sure we can arrange an equal value equivalent. |

Its a community tournie, its meant to be a bit of fun.We will be playing for hard cash every Wednesday, and the majority of the league prizes are also cash. If you are lucky enough to win the thing outright, you will have already won a tidy sum, so moaning about the prize, given its a freebie, seems parsimonious, especially as its a something which you can sell anyway.
BF are throwing a tidy sum at this every week already given the relatively small numbers that play it ( there was a 35% overlay a few weeks back ) so it seems bizarre that when they hoy in something extra on top of that, people still find something to gripe about. There's folk complaining that dont even play the thing !!!! |
|
By:
Chippy,
It is nice to see you bringing some classy vocabulary to the forum but I am not sure that you have used parsimonious in the correct context. [;)]  |
|
By:
Looks good to me
As for Gabs comment above, I am now picturing a day at a Spa with Ambassador Kunku for the ladies! |
|
By:
I know this ^^ has made Helmuthian rage right now! More sexist comments
 [;)], this time from Keith A. Now now HF, calm down, Im sure you too can claim a Spa day! |

By:
chuckling even more and at HF & Kunku on a spa day

Cheers for the reply BetfairPRManager,
I was NOT complaining about the prize on offer here, I was simply suggesting something I would like to see in the future Imagine your playing a video game and after each level you get to compete against the main man Well, The main man is kunku (Kunku would NOT have to take part until the end) A poker league / Challenge that will take dedication and skill, Where all roads lead to kunku. And IF the online player defeats him they have a seat in the WSOP MAIN GAME where they have a chance to become a professional just like he kunku - - - - - - - I also realise that the original thread did NOT state that kunu is attending the sporting event, And I'm sure a lot of players will appreciate the time he IS putting into this promotion already |
|
By:
Parsimonious means niggardly dont it ? stingy ? one who is grudging ?
Dunno, just seemed a bit mean spirited when you is gettin summat for nowt to be complaining that it could have been something nicer and saying you is not wanting it. Seems shan as owt to me like, similar to when i is getting all my family kittens for christmas last year innit ? |

In reply to Dooberama's 11th sept 17.55 comment
I DON'T usually look for players, But I cant seem to find him on the 2/4 or 3/6 tables I deposited especially too Boo hoo |
|
By:
I only ever avoided you and Wulfman on old Betfair 5LEEPY, I really hope you find Kunku and teach him a lesson.
|
|
By:
I can only take that as a compliment Ovalman
CHEERS ! MTT's + STT's are my main game But If I can play kunku on the cheap tables then I see it as a cheap self learning experience that I should be keeping my eyes open for (I wont spoil this thread any more) All the best vs others at the tables people |
|
By:
5LEEP i seen kunku on 5/10 d tables last night 6 seated plaing about 10 he was gl too u hope u show him how too play

i would just like too say what a promotion
1 u get too play kunku wap in a $5 game 2 then 250 addes value on game 3 u get mega prizes come on what u want a cherry# |
|
By:
Just a minor point Joker, but the $250 added, is not there now, so I guess they are using that to pay for the additional prizes. However the promotion is a good one and my name is down.
|
|
By:
Good luck everyone
|
|
By:
no 250 added joker
so thats a cherry less |
|
By:
no $250 added = given it to kunku wap, and a bit more probably
