    Their is nothing scam about that. I think bigdogpckt5s might be asking for a bit too much markup but still if their is any event in the year to do this it is the WSOP ME.

    Many pros don't even sell for the main they swap a little action with other pros so for someone who has won a lot of money online if people are willing to pay for a piece of them then so be it.

    In my opinion their was a time years ago that bigdog was probably worth that much markup but he's only been a part time player for the past few years so whether he is worth that now imo no but if others think so then they can spend their money how they like.

    No way in fucking hell is he worth that much markup, even in the ME. The people that are charging that much are scammers. . .

    Jesus, Daly. I can't believe this is coming from you.

    It's free enterprise. This looks pretty open and transparent to me.

    Years ago, Timex opened my eyes to markups. ALL markups are stupid. A rule of thumb you can work with. Loved the way he made several clever markets/plays based on this stupidity. Mad mad respect for Timex's creative and original thinking.

    Perhaps you and Druff would like to see this lightly regulated too? Protect weak investors from themselves?

    Isn't such poor pricing the cornerstone of prop betting?

    I am appalled and am considering asking for your resignation.

    Ok let's start from the beginning here. I am nearly pointing out that someone else was asking the question.

    A fool and his money are soon parted. I don't want to see this regulated.

    He can charge whatever markup he wants in my book, no issues here.

    That said not a chance in hell in jumping on board.

    So I decided to go back to look at this to see how it's going and it's not even close to being funded. Only one more person has jumped on the investment train since this thread was created with 65.9% still available.

    Again, it's not a scam but it's a markup price that the public has determined is is ridiculous.

    People should be allowed to charge whatever they like without being called a scammer. It is up to the investors if the price is fair, if it's not (1.8 lol) then they don't invest, if it is then you invest. Maybe people aren't informed of the math, but them not being informed doesn't = them being scammed.
