WSOP 2016 Thread, brought to you by Staker
« on: May 19, 2016, 15:13:51 PM »
Hi all,

I"m delighted to see Tighty back, updating us on this year"s World Series of Poker, with special focus on our recently launched Staker game.



We believe the game can add a real sense of excitement to following the World Series of Poker, so I hope you"ll all participate.  To that end, we"ve agreed a promotion with Grosvenor which will see the top ten stakers of every event rewarded with Goliath sat tokens (1st - £30, 2nd to 10th - £5) and the top ten overall on July 18th, will each receive a £120 seat to the Goliath.

Here"s a quick "how to play" guide for those unsure of the way the game will work.




So to clarify, this is a free to play fantasy staking game.  You will receive the value of one buy in for each event, and each event will have its own leaderboard, sorted by your profit.  Be profitable and make the top ten and you win a prize, it"s that simple!  Plus it will make reading the updates from Las Vegas all the more interesting as you look out for your own stable of players.   Get staking!

So the WSOP starts tonight...

the first Staker event is Event 2, the Colossus II. Just expecting the 30,000 runners over 6 starting flights. Going to be easy to pick a few players you think will cash right?

Just go to www.staker.co.uk

1) Register via facebook 2) Choose an event 3) Choose your players 4) Confirm. It"s that simple.

repeat for each of the nominated events in the list.....

Through the WSOP, prizes as follows

For each event (starting with WSOP 2 tomorrow) 1st - £50 Goliath Satellite Token. 2nd to 10th - £5 Goliath Satellite Token

For the overall leaderboard as at 18 July: 1st to 10th - £120 Goliath seats



and over and above that, bragging rights. I staked a few players today and my balance is -$893

I need to beat Carl Pilgrim, simple as that really. Pressure"s on me

Does the opportunity to take part close as soon as an event starts? Or can you stake Day 2 players even if day 1 has started?

The black bar at the bottom of the screen with Twitter/Facebook on covers the bottom box that you need to select when you have chosen your player.
It gives the impression that your selection does not exist...

Not sure I understand Bill.  I haven"t seen any issues like that.  Can you send me a screen print to my FB inbox?

Not clear about the Facebook bit.

Why does  it want to access my friend list?

Is it going to generate posts on my FB or send messages to my FB friends?

Can I take part without giving permission to access my friend list?

Great concept and thanks to everyone that has given us the opportunity to take part.

Looking forward to the updates.
