Utter Bollocks....

Really didn't want to add this but i feel i have to. Extract from betfair poker...


All the text below is betfairs wording. What part of a dogfight is there when it is a 31 day contest and 7 pm is top for 25 of the first 26 days? Only betfair could try and make a race out of a rigged outcome. Also the bullshit about lets see how wingding will do in the wsope when betfair knew from the off he wouldn't be playing. Then even MORE lies about STAX EVER being used again. If stax is ever used again i will go back to betfair poker and take back all i have ever said about the betfair rig. Its just so wrong to keep misleading the customers in this way. Customers want to see a formula for stax now the event is over, everyone knows it was a rig so betfair wont reveal the formula by saying it will be used again which EVERYONE knows isn't the case. Many people will tell you that live events cost a lot of money due to hidden expenses. I said i wouldn't play any live events for two more years as they simply cost too much money, stax is one of those events I would have made an exception for as I live in London and it wouldn't have cost me ONE penny in expenses. It is such a shame to be cheated by betfair out of a wsope seat for it to then be given to someone who sold it withing MINUTES for £8000 or less. After rakeback etc betfair will lose that in two months of lost custom from me.

STAX ends in drama!
The STAX# WSOPE promotion came to a dramatic climax last night with two more $23k packages being snapped up by poker players Babes10 and poker1976. They will now join overall STAX# winner Wingding2 at next week’s Main Event.
Overall Competition
Wow, what a dog fight this turned out to be!
In the end four Betfair Poker players; Wingding2 (UK), 7 pm (UK), fuzzard (IRE) and EnAnNi (GER) really fought to the wire to take down the title of the STAX Godfather!
All four managed to achieve mind-boggling scores by proving their poker talent at a range of disciplines and with the lead changing many times throughout the month, it was eventually Wingding2 who took down the title with a score of 99.79 – just 0.02 above second place! Many congratulations to him and unlucky to the guys who just missed out after such a brave fight!
We will be monitoring wingding2’s progress throughout the WSOPE to see whether our maths boffins got the STAX# formula right and predicted a potential WSOPE champ! Word on the grapevine is that heads will roll if he crashes out first! Latest: Wingding2 has sold his seat as is a teacher and can’t make event!!!
Cross Country Final
After a tense 12 man battle, Scandinavia triumphed with the Great Dane, poker1976 coming out on top after nearly three hours of nerve-jangling poker! He qualified for the final by decimating his fellow countrymen in the Danish division with a STAX#RATING of 90.65.

A large field of 815 players turned out for their free shot at a WSOPE package in the STAX# Top 10% Invitational and it was eventually Babes10 (Cyprus, STAX#RATING: 56.43) who took their chances by beating bingomite (UK, STAX#RATING: 63.53) and OmanSultan (Denmark, STAX#RATING: 69.85) to the $23k top prize.
