    $10,000.  That's why I haven't played it yet.  I have to win a smaller buy in tournament that pays about $250,000 to $500,000 for the winner.  Then I'll enter it.  Hopefully, next year.

    Maybe we can invest in the entrance fee for a percentage. LOL

    • My definitions:

    Gambling:  Putting money on a proposition that is purely chance or the odds are stacked against you.  Examples -- slot machines, lottery

    Investing:  Putting money on a proposition where skill and intelligence can put the odds in your favor to come out ahead.  Examples:  Stocks, poker

    It's a fine line.

    • In the 8 weeks of the WSOP, several records were set.  WSOP attracted 230,000 entries.  The Main Event attracted 10,112 entries with a prize pool of $94,041,600.  All three set new records for the WSOP.

    • Jeepers, one probably has a better chance playing the Texas Lotto. Gulp.
