So our German PokerStrategist boku87 who is well known in the German ps.com community for his blog detailing his rise from beginner to SuperNova Elite has recently announced quite an interesting prop-bet.

He will start with $100 (so twice the starting capital) and grind it up to $10,000 in just 15 days. He will do this playing nothing but SNGs with a maximum buy-in of $16. He will start with the $1 SNGs on PokerStars. He will play mainly 18 and 45 man SNGs.

He is giving 3:1 odds and will be taking 35k vs 105k in action (and pretty much already has that much)

Is he crazy? Can he make it?

yea, using google translator to read the blog.
He is 1 interesting fellow, will love to see him do the $100 to $10000 challenge. I would like to follow what he is doing too, but of course i dont need to get to $10000 in 15days.

His terms... He starts on 3rd of March.
His webcam:
http://www.justin.tv/boku87

Alright, Stars answered they made an escrow Account P5contest (city Isle of man)

Rules for 100$ into 10000$ in 15 days
1. I have 15 days from starting point meaning 360 hour. Starting point will be announced at the beginning of march. Its most likely 8th March but I might start a few days earlier
2. I can only play Sngs with a maximum buy in of 16$
3. 180man or 90man do not count
4. If I go broke at any point I lost the bet
5. Profit only, Rakeback and Bonus do not count
6. I will have to run a webcam when I play.
7. I won the bet as soon as I reached a 10000$ bankroll meaning I made 9900$ in Profit
8. Money must be sent before the bet stars to the Pokerstars escrow account P5contest (Isle of men)
9. I get 3-1 odds so for every 100$ from me I will get 300$ from you.
10. I will bet up to 30K to your 90K at this point but I will most likely cash in a couple of K so action may go up to over 100K
11. People who bet against me are not allowed to play at my tables unless it is their regular limits to create a realistic atmosphere for micro stakes playing.

Those are the rules. Anything important missing?

There is one thing left though that bothers me a little. Though it did not happen in 15 month I once disconnected completly for an hour or so and blinded of at every single Sng I played which cost me about 2200$. So I want an extra rule for this bet ONLY for the first 2 days that if I disconnect for longer than 20 minutes for reasons that are not my fault I will get a refund of all tournaments that I blinded off. I won't make any profit of this, its just to make sure that I don't start my first session and disconnect and lose 70% of my roll the first day.

If that is a problem we might talk about that rule and it is only for the first 2 days, if it happens later on it is my problem and I wont get a refund!

If you accept the rules you can send me a PM with hiw much money you want to bet and send your money to the escrow account. I already sent 10K to that Account (maximum per transaction) and will match up all the bets before I start
