Betfair recently ran a promotion called Completely Nuts where Betfair would award $100K to the first person who won the Annette $20K Guarantee as well as either the $6k or $5k guaranteed tournament in the same month. Because you’re reading about it here you’ve probably already guessed that it took all of one day for player redmist7 to score the $100K prize.
Not trying to take anything away from redmist7 but in actuality it wasn’t all that tough of a challenge. Looking at the currently listed tournaments on Betfair, the most players they have listed in any event is 925 in a freeroll. The Annette $20K that ran on Aug 4 attracted only 78 players and their $5K and $6K guarantees seem to pull about a similar number of players.
Doh!
Does that mean there are massive overlays at Betfair? I’m heading over there!!
and the sad thing is that most of the promotional mailers were probably waiting to be sent…
