$12K WSOP Prize Will Go for Under Ten Bucks -- Wanna Bet?! 2007-05-22 17:14:00 OK, this confirms it: I'll gamble on practically anything, anywhere, anyhow...If you read my blog then you know about the auction that's going on at PlayersOnly.com. It's a "low bid" auction which means the prize goes to the person with the lowest unique bid. They're auctioning a $12,000 WSOP package -- the $10,000 World Series of Poker registration fee plus travel expenses to Vegas -- and if only one person bids exactly fifty cents then that person could get the whole thing for under a buck!I personally think it might go for under ten bucks. Think that'd be just too good to be true? Think I'm crazy? Wanna bet?!I placed a friendly bet at Gottabet.com. It's for "peanuts" (the currency at the P2P betting site). And just for fun. ;)$10K WSOP seat will go for less than $10 in PlayersOnly.com online auction. Check it out -- there's some really whacky stuff that you can bet on!
