Since I didn't get round to sorting out a draft at the start of the event I'll try this instead.Simply, you get to buy a player for a shot at $50. The more likely the player is to win (according to betfair), the more you have to pay to have a shot. It will be winner take all for whoever has the player that wins the event.Only for people who can send on PokerstarsPlayer CostsPlayer/Chipstack/Cost1. Antonio Esfandiari - 39,925,000 - $13.63 - rcgs592. Sam Trickett - 37,000,00 - $13.86 - HighwayStar3. Guy Laliberté - 21,700,000 - $6.04 - Governator4. Brian Rast - 11,350,000 - $5.15 - FCP Bob5. Phil Hellmuth - 10,925,500 - $5.42 - Outsider136. David Einhorn - 8,375,000 - $2.35 - HighwayStar7. Richard Yong - 7,475,000 - $1.63 - HighwayStar's Dad.8. Bobby Baldwin - 7,150,000 - $1.92- Outsider13Total : $50Limiting to 2 per player.Post your pick and send money to Blue Baboon (United Kingdom) on Pokerstars.To create these $ values, I took the odds on betfair around 30 minutes ago, scaled them so they added up to 1 and flipped it over to create a cost for each player.Screenshots of odds/calculations:Posted ImagePosted Image
