Poker NewsMuch more than just a poker blog...
Three time WSOP bracelet winner Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi has launched blastlonger.eu, a website where poker players can make last longer bets with their friends or with members of the community. The site is currently in beta stage and can be viewed on mobile devices aswell.
Last longer bets are very popular amongst poker players, it's mostly a trend in live tournaments, during the WSOP even sportsbooks offer these kind of bets, but due to the huge field sizes, players can only bet on a few select pros and in the last few years most sportsbooks only offered bets for the WSOP Main Event final table.
Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi saw this market gap and decided to launch blastlonger.eu, which is basically a simple interface where members of the community can make last longer bets.
Players can use a certain percentage of their buy-ins for betting. In online tournaments you can put up 10, 25 or 50 percent of your buy-in for the bet, in live tournaments these numbers are 1, 5 and 10.
The site is currently in beta mode so only online tournament betting is available, live tournaments will be added later on.
The most interesting opportunity in Blast Longer is probably the betting against the other members of the community, which could give a positive experiences to many players, who can win money even if they don't manage to go very deep in a tournament.
