rOOTlette 2022 Interest Thread

Sundry Chitchat
1

There used to be a fun game on 2p2 where we’d all pledge $$$ in roulette, honor a poster and let them pick your charity, and let it ride!

Any interest in this in the next week? It would be on 6/17 (friday) in vegas. Some logistics would be how to get the money somewhere, and finding a casino that’d allow a recording of it.

Qué?

one year i won and my charity was “anything that would upset thinman” and they decided a cat charity

4

you can bet $/number, straight bet, however you want.

I think a lot of the fun of this game, at least the time I was involved, was selecting other posters to honor and let pick the charity and number. I would be happy to fund a number (or perhaps many), but I enjoy the system of honoring other people.

yes

i dont even know how i won that year. I didnt give a dime and had been in exile, I just got a PM that told me I had won it. that must have been how.

I have no idea what this is; I’m in for $40.

so it’d go like this:

I pledge $2/number and 10% of any WSOP winnings

poster I’d like to honor:
@beetlejuice just for being generally hilarious, drama free, and a generally all around good dude with a silky voice. Choose your charity

Rules from the previous thread:

Here’s how it is going to work:

  1. We’re going to nominate and select 37 lucky OOTers and a few alternates.
  2. These 37 rOOTletters will get to choose a number from a roulette wheel to call their very own, as well as an IRS accredited 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
  3. I’m going to go to the Bellagio and place an $X (currently $5) bet on every number on a single digit roulette wheel in the high limit room.
  4. The winner gets their winnings donated to their chosen charity.
  5. I will real-time post the results in this thread.

Nomination & selection process:

  1. Only active OOTers who have a history of making good posts and who make OOT a better forum will be considered.
  2. You can nominate up to 5 posters.
  3. You cannot nominate yourself.
  4. Nominate someone by posting their name in this thread in bold, along with your reasoning on why they deserve a slot.
  5. Nominations of or by gimmicks/trolls/idiots will be ignored.
  6. Nominations will be open until 6pm Pacific time on Friday, March 6.
  7. After the nominating period ends, the best candidates will be chosen, along with some alternates. I’ll announce them in the thread.
  8. The selected posters will have 48 hours after selection to post their chosen # and charity in the thread. First come, first served. No duplicate numbers, no duplicate charities. If someone picked the number/charity you wanted, pick different ones. Alternates will be allowed to pick charities but will randomly be assigned leftover numbers, if any.
  9. I make the rules, and I may change them at any time for any reason. No crying if I change something.
  10. If you are too dumb to follow these rules, your post will be ignored.
  11. I’m auto including myself because that’s what you get to do when you’re the king. I’m taking #2 and Friends Of Homeless Animals.
  12. If we somehow don’t get 37 people, I’ll figure something out.

We don’t have to copy all of this, but it was fun to honor others and to be honored.

yea and something this community probably needs is a good old fashioned circle jerk! plus I’ll be hammered and recording it.

I remember the worst part of this was handling the $$$ though. I dont know the best platform to just dump money into semi-anonymously, that’d probably be best.

11

Aren’t there rules against recording in casinos? I believe chopstick got around that somehow, so maybe I’m mistaken.

12

yea usually

13

High stakes and getting permission in advance, IIRC

14

yea if this got enough interest over the weekend i’d start making calls monday
