SOLD SATELLITE RAFFLE for The Dunes Set (6 tables filled, collecting payments) (4 Viewers)

Should I admit this now?
If I win these chip they are going to be right back on the market. My bankroll simply won't allow for me to keep that much $$$ tied up in one set of chips.

Or course that would be after I take selfies of me and my new chips at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, on top of the Eiffel tower, and inside the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Then unfortunately they have to go up on Craigslist where, knowing me, I will probably get half what they are worth.

Am I still allowed in the raffle?

What you do with your satellite raffle money, and ultimately the chips if you win them, is up to you. Around 8pm I'll send the 6 winners their $110/each and after that point they can do with the money as they please.

I'll put this in the OP as well, but if for some reason the main raffle doesn't go off (for any reason), the winners of the satellite raffles will get the $110 instead.

JMHO, but this gets kinda sketchy, as it becomes a unsanctioned lottery.

Just don't want anyone to get in any trouble.

To be safe, I would suggest that the reserving n number of seats in berg's raffle (I'm sure Berg will work with you if you are helping him fill seats). If the raffle goes, start awarding the satellites. You can do multiple satellite draws in one day using lottery numbers for multiple states. If berg's raffle doesn't sell out, return $11 to everyone.

I understand your position, but as per the OP, these satellite raffles are not directly associated with the main raffle. I specified in the OP that even if the main raffle does not take place, the winner will get the $110. If the raffle does take place, it is expected that the winners use the fund to purchase a raffle ticket, but I am not going to police that either.

And to be honest, it's likely an unsanctioned lottery whether or not the prize is a $110 raffle ticket or $110 in cash. Not sure the prize itself has any bearing on the legality of the raffle. But I'm not a lawyer, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Sell one chip, get your money back... Bankroll all square...:rolleyes:

If I won, It would be $11,000. These are great chips but I'd rather have an RV that I could travel the country in.

On the other hand, I would not enter a raffle to win $11000 in cash, so go figure.
Maybe I really do just want the chips. Nobody ever said this chip-collecting-thing made any sense:)
 
Thanks for all the work you have put into this, bentax.
 
You know when you sit down at a poker tournament just as it begins and you wish everyone "good luck" but you dont really mean it?


Good luck everyone !!

Dammit!!!!! I never win.....

Anyway. Congrats to the winners and thanks for putting this together. It's always fun.
 
K9 Again...FU! Im torn. I would have liked to win, but back of my mind Im thinking if I hit the Satellite, I probably wont win the main event.
 
Sweet. Thanks @bentax1978. Now just have to pick the correct number in bergs drawing. Cheapest set of chips I'll ever own. All while being the most expensive set I'll ever own.
