I know more about Star Trek than I do with this thread.

There’s coffee in the back.

Seattle Totems opened as the favorite to be the name of the new franchise

Ugh, that's absolutely terrible.

Seattle Vanishers?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

It doesn't end with an 'S', but how can it not be the Kraken?

 

[Magua]

Seattle Starpucks. Boom. That was easy. And terrible. But easy.

Because Gritty will switch team allegiances if you name anything “Kraken.”

For those who play poker, the bad beat jackpot hit twice at Harrah’s in Chester in 3 days, and apparently involved the same guy. Nice cool 150k in three days. Crazy

Am I missing something here in the fine print?

You bet $5 and win $500. Then you have to wager that $500 to be able to withdraw it. So essentially you need to win two bets risking $5 of real money in order to win $500+?

I bet Jets and Jackets tonight. That’s going well

The bonus is mainly to give you a bankroll, and you can bet it all at once or slowly. For example, I got a $100 for referring my friend, and was able to withdraw it within a week, putting $5-$10 on any game I wanted to bet

Well yeah, but if you win the second bet, you'll have ~$500 in your account free to withdraw while only risking $5.

There has to be a catch. It's not like it's 100 to 1 on any team to win the Super Bowl. It's two options.

The only catch is that it’s site credit and you need to wager that amount in bets. If you do it all at once, you’re good. The promotions on FanDuel are really good and meant to get people hooked. This weekend is $25 parlay on the wild card games, risk free. If you win, you win; if you lose, you get it back as a site credit

Well yeah, I know that but basically you need to win two bets and you get $500 while only risking $5.

It's absurd.

Really $1000 if you win both. Try it

I'm already a user and forgot to have my wife sign up before I left for California this morning.

Ouch. I’m in Arizona for the weekend and they’re doing a $25 risk free parlay. Out of luck on that one. I wonder if the promotions will die down because they have been really good.

I guess I'll mention this here.

One of my best friends in poker, Jackie Burkhart, entered an essay contest for a chance to win a $30,000 trip to the Bahamas, including entry to a $25,000 tournament. I gave her some minor help and she won. In return she freerolled me 3% of her winnings and I bought another 1%. She made the money today and is in pretty good shape with under 200 people remaining. $5M up top.

 

[baudib1]

Update: 77 left and she's guaranteed $45,700. She's on secondary featured table but short.

Burkhart Uses One Time, Doubles

 

[baudib1]

52 left, up to $69,100, this is getting to be serious money now.

I've had plenty of friends win bigger scores (last month a pretty good friend won $1.6M) but this is probably the most excited I've been railing a tournament. I'm looking at plane tickets for Bahamas right now.

 

[baudib1]

My girl is still in with 38 left. Got $86,400 locked up, next pay jump is to $105K with 7 more eliminations. On to Day 4.
