How Some Player Get Entry Help to Some Tournaments.

If a player is looking for entry help in a tournament, there are two ways to get this help.  The player can enter a small entry fee satellite and win it, thereby getting the entry in the tournament.  The other way is to pay the full entry fee straight up and guarantee that you will get to play.   This is the problem if the player cannot come up with the full fee.  Many players can go to their friends and sell percentages of themselves for the tournament.  But what if that does not work out.

The answer could be a website called ChipMeUp and offer to sell a percentage to people who want to invest in a good player for a big tournament.   This is an interesting way to get the fee for a big tournament and not bother your friends.

Many name players have used this fee service to get money for a specific tournament.

If the player does well in the tournament, the investors get their money back with a very decent return.  When a player like J C Tran or Nam Le uses this service to get money, then it makes sense to give it a try if you are a good enough player that people are willing to give you a chance at a specific tournament.  Really solid players can even get help for big cash games.

This concept is not new in the world of gambling.  Gamblers have always staked another gambler who had need of a stake.  Most of these deals were done on a handshake and not on a written agreement.  This deal will be more formal since most of the investors may not even know the player personally.  This idea now sheds more light on how some of these players are showing up in big tournaments in Europe or elsewhere.

Unless you are well known in Vegas to other players, you would have difficulty getting them to back you.  Your friends may not be interested in this idea, as they may know little to nothing about what you are talking about.  This site may well be the answer for your consideration.  The worst that can happen is there will be no takers for your proposition.  Sign up and join the Forum for some interesting conversations with live players and users of this service.  Good luck and may you find rockets in the pocket.
