Some of you may have noticed a shifty looking gentleman that loosely resembles a character from Sin City popping up on your Facebook and Twitter timelines. Some of you may have already started carefully selecting your horses for the current WSOP in Las Vegas and, like myself, may be struggling to pick anyone capable of making a Day 2! Some of you may have absolutely no clue what I am waffling on about, but that’s nothing new.
Staker is a virtual fantasy staking platform, brought to you by the brains behind the APAT Poker Tour, in which you select pretty much ANY player that you want in certain events, stake them as you would like to in real life and just sit back and watch them rake virtual money for you. Why would one want to spend time going through possible players for new real reward, i hear you say?
For the current WSOP schedule, Staker are working in tandem with Grosvenor Poker and awarding Fantasy stakers with satellite tickets for the upcoming Goliath Poker Event that is held at the Ricoh Casino in August. Somehow even I have managed to accumulate £70 worth of tickets, so i would definitely get yourself involved as soon as possible. On top of this, if you finish in the Top 10 of the WSOP Leaderboard, you will be rewarded with a £120 Goliath seat. As this leaderboard is calculated in profit, you can still join in now and have a great shot of the prize!
You can also win £250 GB pounds (granted the value isn’t as great after Brexit! – Ed) just by being the most profitable staker in the WSOP Main Event. Easy, huh?
In a time in which the poker industry is busy buying actual pieces of friends/known poker whizz kids, constructing your Fantasy Football line ups for your high stakes leagues, and getting to grips with the scoring system of DraftKings, I cannot see any reason not to add Staker to your Monday night “To-Do” list.
Hope you all do well, and i’ll see you at the Goliath.
Run Well
