Betting on WSOP

[z32fanatic]

Is there anywhere to bet on who will win the WSOP? I'm kinda curious to see what the odds on some of the pros would be. Anyone know of a site?

There have been a few posts here under different topics. You can run a search for them.

A few off-shore books have posted odds on about 200 players, with most of them paying 100/1 to 200/1, and nobody (not even Ben Affleck) higher than 300/1.

Worse yet, the favorites (guys like Ivey, Cloutier, et al) start at around 50/1.

My advice: bet on "The Field", if you can find it for less than -300 (it opened at -230).

I've never seen a place offer odds that are anywhere near good enough to bet on with +EV. With 1000-1500 players in the field this year, there is nobody who you can bet on for less than 400-1 or so. Nobody. And the guys who you might bet on for this price will probably be paying less than 200-1.
