If there’s one thing that is more fun than playing in the weekly $10,300 entry GGMillion$ on GGPoker, it might be backing your favorite player to play in it on your dime. In recent weeks, many players who sell some of their action to the online event of the week on PokerStake have been very successful. We’ve broken down exactly how you can back a winning player to hit profit again this week and boost your own bankroll in the process.

The Most Profitable Weekly Event Online?

The GGMillion$ could be your most profitable event series of the week, and you don’t even have to look at any hole cards. The action is fast and furious, the betting odds are provided by GGPoker too and if you’ve invested in one of the final table players, the sweat on them wining a six or seven figure score can be an incredible way of sweating the action.

In recent months, qualifiers to the GGMillion$ have done amazingly too, with one player earning six figures from a single $100 qualifier. That’s the kind of ROI (return on investment) that every poker player on the planet would want to have. Online, it rarely comes along outside the GGMillion$.

So where do you start if you want to search for a player to invest in? Put simply, PokerStake. It’s easy to register, then all you need to do is log into your account, head to the staking page and pick a winner… or winners.

There’s no stopping you spreading your bets across multiple players and with the help of GGPoker’s exclusive pre-game show on their YouTube channel, you can find out who is the best value along with Jeff Gross and his weekly special guest co-commentator which in recent times has featured Michael Mizrachi, the world champion, or Rayan Chamas, who himself has vast experience playing in GGMillion$ finals.

Here’s what happened in this week’s GGMillion$ final table  show:

Betting Odds and Markup

Once you’ve found the staking page, scroll down a little and you’ll reach the promised land – the GGMillion$ players who are selling poker action. With just one event able to be sold to at any time – the one that starts on the Sunday following anyone’s investment – it’s easy to take your pick from the players involved. This week, for example, features crushers like Ivan Deyra, Alexander Tkatschew and ‘Clickwork’, all of whom have not only run deep but made final tables in the past on a regular basis.

Once you’ve found the players, you’ll see that they have a percentage of their buy-in up for sale. While live events often see players selling just 10% or %20 of their action, some GGMillion$ players sell up to 80% of their buy-ins, meaning a shrewd investment on your part could land you yourself six figures if you buy enough of the action.

This week, Germany’s Alexander Tkatschew is selling 77.7% of his entry fee into GG Million$. This week’s top prize was a little over $300,000, so if you were to invest 25% of Alexander’s buy-in for $2,500 plus a 1.04 markup ($2,600), you’d walk away with $75,000 if he wins the event with it having the same prizepool, yielding you a profit of $72,400. Even if you only invested 10% of that amount ($260), you’d win a chunky $7,500 for your backing.

Research Your Entry and Follow the Action

Following the action on GGPoker couldn’t be easier. Simply download the client and you can go into the lobby, look at each table and watch your pick make it to the final table. If they get there, you can boot up YouTube, put your feet up and sweat exactly how much profit you’re going to make because the team featuring Jeff Gross as host put on a great show on YouTube.

From the pre-game show to betting odds analysis that allows you to spread your action if your chosen player(s) make the final, the show has it all. Throughout the action, the revolutionary GTO Wizard is utilized by the presenting team to highlight marginal hands where the players battling for glory see the optimal move displayed on screen with their eventual decision.

In this weeks’ coming event, we love the chances of three players specifically. We’ve already mentioned Alexander Tkatschew. To him, we would add the Brazilian Rodrigo Selouan, who is selling at a markup of 1.04 and has 50% of his action on sale. The Austrian player Roland Rokita rounds out our talented trio, with him also selling 50% at a markup of 1.04.
