WuDu Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @GotWhatItTakes wrote: Honestly, I don´t wanna start grinding the 2€ games. If I m going to grind them, I would start with a 2€, move up when I have 1 *10€ ticket and try to win a 50€ ticket. If I do so, I would exchange the 50€ into 5x10€ and go from there. I don´t know about Copenhagen yet, but there is 3,5 months of time to get one 2000€ package. If I take it somewhat more seriously and grind some satellites every day, chances might be quite high to win a package. Sure, you can also invest 200 Euro and buy into 20 different UO 10 qualifiers. Why not? I mean, the UO2 satellites are almost free money, since Unibet gives those tickets out like candy whenever they can, but to each his own...Did you know that if you're an average player and you're buying into 10 different UO 250 Euro qualifiers, your chance of NOT winning one package is 30,32 %? I believe most guys that try to take shots are going to fail. Let's assume you're a great player and you make 25 % ROI playing the UO 2 and UO 10 satellites. Then you just have a 6.25 % chance of winning an UO2 tourney and go on to win the following UO10 satellite. We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!"

GotWhatItTakes Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates the past couple of days. Nothing exciting happened and I don´t want to bore you with that. I promise to update more regularly in March though. 😃So, London is only a few days ago and today I was looking for my passport and when I found it, I noticed it has been expired (in early January already :O). My ID expired as well and I really need to get some kind of temporal passport if I want to get past the security check in. 🤣 No worries though, I will do that earliest thing tomorrow and they will give me the identification I need the same day (at least that´s what I hope). I will be arriving in London (Stansted :/) on Thursday, around 7am local time. Does anyone take the Ryanair plane Cologne-London Stansted at 6:something AM as well? Or does anyone arrive in London at the same time as me? Would be great to meet up and get to the city together. I already booked the transfer from the airport to the city (return trip costed me 27GBP).I m not 100% sure about the public transportation system in London, never been there before. Can anyone explain what ticket to buy if I want to stay from Thursday until Tuesday (6 days) and my apartement is in Zone 3. Do I need an Oyster Card?In case, I will get to London in time, I plan on playing the following tournaments:23/02 20:00 Satellite to the Main Event 110£Depending on whether I qualify for the Main or not:24/02 UO Deepstack Day 1 20:00 330£25/02 Turbo Bounty 20:00 165£26/02 Freezout 15:00 110£+ Community Event 😃 (really looking forward to that one) Because I have never been to London before, I want to do some sightseeing along the way. I think there are a lot of things to do and see in London, I m not sure what to do yet, though. I will probably get some short updates / pictures in here and do a big review when I m back home (28/2 or 1/3)Hope to see some of you in London and good luck at the tables! :Peace: NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.

BonusPater Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 @MarcoV and I will arrive in London Tuesday, but we're busy till Thursday morning :)Regarding transport: if you have a contactless credit card, you don't need to do anything. Just use the credit card as you'd use an Oyster card. If your credit card isn't a contactless one, I'd recommend you to buy an Oyster card - it's just easier :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WuDu Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 😀 "Government rats" is the watered down version I use in public settings, now imagine what I think of them in private...especially here in NRW where incompetence seems to be a requirement to be considered for public service. Not out of the Trump word pool though, 😃 come on, it's not like I have a life-size cutout standing in my living-room I salute every morning like the guy from yesterday:huber-trump-cutout Or should I say, not yet...😛How much did you pay all in all for your flight, transportation and hotel? I'm currently standing at 840 Euro in Unibet Open tickets, I'm getting closer and closer to attending a live event as well... We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win.

GotWhatItTakes Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Nooo, I wont change money at the airport ever again. That is a total ripoff, I learnd that the hard way in Romania 🤣 I have some UK-money left, don´t need it as fast as possible. I just want to exchange as good as possible.

jonny2192 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Normally the big supermarkets have an exchange or any post office.Try here to see some comparission between compnies http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/ You can exchange UO tickets again all is unicorns and rainbows in Unibet land.

MoreTBC Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm with Stubbe on this one, it's probably best to just use your card and the Bank will probably just use a spot EX rate to convert. I'd check with them to see how they handle overseas purchases. You won't really need cash apart from tips for meals and things I would guess so the money you already have should cover that. If you do want to convert a quick google suggests you're getting the best rates from Debenhams, which is a department store. The nearest one appears to be on Oxford Street which it a bit of a trek but may get you a few more £ for your €.I'm pretty sure you can't use your accoutn money to fund buy-ins. Pretty sure I read it somewhere, will find the link. Have you read my blog HERE... It's long isn't it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotWhatItTakes Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks for your advices, guys!

WuDu Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 @GotWhatItTakesI don't know, why don't you go to the next bigger "Sparkasse" or wherever your main bank account is and ask for the current exchange rates? Or check online? Point is, even if they rip you off for 2 or 3 Euro, that's just a drop in the water given the fact that your trip costs you around 400 bugs excluding poker buyins, food, drinks and money for hookers and blow! 😏Do you really want to waste holiday time on searching an exchange shop that might rip you off as well? Some currencies you cannot get here easily, like the Chinese Yuan, however US-Dollar and British Pound shouldn't be a problem. We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!"

GotWhatItTakes Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 You are obviously 100% on point. My thought process was that there were a lot of exchange rates that are close to a scam, but it seems there won´t be a huge difference in the outcome.Don´t know how you came up with the following though: "excluding poker buyins, food, drinks and money for hookers and blow! /html/images/emoticons/Asset7.png" 🤣 🤣 Thank you for all the support and help, it is really appreciated! :inlove: NO MORE HALF-MEASURES.
