Dodger Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special Don't know how many played but think I'll play these from now on. Will it be Home [1], Draw [X] or Away [2] ? You decide! 1-X-2 is the exciting new concept in tournament poker from Betfair where your opinion could win you a share in ADDED tournament prize pools....but only if you can predict the correct result! The next 1-X-2 Footie Special featured matches are: VfB Stuttgart Vs Barcelona- Tuesday 23rd February Inter Milan Vs Chelsea - Wednesday 24th February This week's 1-X-2 Tournaments have a $1 buy in and will kick off at 19:30 GMT on match days. Here's how it works: On selected days we will pick a televised football match as our featured game for the 1-X-2 Footie Special. All you need to do is join the tournament which you think the result of the match will be. For example: AC Milan Vs Man UTD If you think AC Milan will win the game, join the 1-X-2 AC Milan tournament If you think Man UTD will win the game, join the 1-X-2 Man UTD tournament If you think it will be a draw, join the 1-X-2 The Draw tournament At the end of the match, $1,000 will be added to overall prize pool of the tournament that corresponds to the correct result e.g. If Man UTD win the match then $1,000 would be added to the overall prize pool in 1-X-2 Man UTD tournament. You can only join one 1-X-2 tournament, so be sure to study the form and choose wisely if you want to be in with a shout of scoring your share of the $1,000 in ADDED cash! TIP: The number of entrants for a 1-X-2 tournament will be affected by the likelihood of that result happening. So just like placing a bet, you need to consider the chances of each result before you make your selection. For instance, if you join the tournament that represents the less fancied team in the game, you will be playing against less opponents meaning your share in any added money would be more however, by joining the less fancied result, you are less likely to win a share of the added money since this is the least likely result.

avongirl Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special Entries tonight Barca win 139 Stuttgart win 28 Draw 54 Showing as $1 entry, no fee. Not clear how the added prize pool is paid out (currently showing winner takes all for the buy in pool) but massive added value tonight for those in the right tourney. :ok (well done Martyn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
step1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special payout structure is the same as normal mtts. the 1000 is divided pro rata. they should get the prizes right in the lobby but we are talking about betfair.

Chapman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special Today's 1X2 is the Barcelona V Stuttgart game with only a $0.01 entry fee for the 'result' game of your choice, so basically if you enter the Barcelona game it is a $0.01 MTT with $1000 added. :tongue2 Just under 50 mins to go and the numbers entered so far are, 114 - Barca, 12 - X, 10 - Stuttgart. Might be worth 1cent to gamble on an upset draw/Stuttgart win, might pay off nicely in the morning. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special What does "Holding tank" means? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special Considered the draw but in the end joined the Barca tourney :tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special 267 entrants, finished 25th, so just in the money :) A real donkfest with all-in's all over the place. Barca up 3-0 with 10 minutes to go so should yield a $ or two :lol EDIT: 25th should result in 0.7%, that's $7 (according to Betfair website) Basically a $1000 freeroll :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special Welldone mate. :clap In a moronic moment I decided to go into the 'X' game, had about 12k in chips and sitting 3rd, then just shoved all in every hand as soon as Barcalona scored their second as I was in a few other games anyway - just glad Stuttgart failed to pull off the miracle. :lol 'Holding Tank' I think is just there so Betfair can see who cashed in the winning game and pay out accordingly within the next day or whatever. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scholey Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Re: Betfair 1X2 Footie Special these tournaments aren't too bad, would have been over the moon if i had got into the Inter Milan 1, there was only 35 or so in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
