I have bet on the field to win at 1/1 odds(bodog), so that is a pretty good bet to come thru. I just threw 1/8 unit on Raymer to win. Anyone else have thoughts?

[TheGrifter]

Other than the field, none of those bets seem good to me. I actually remember Greg posting about how none of the WSOP odds were good enough to lay down a bet before the tourney started...guess he was right.

[Clarkmeister]

There is no field right now, that's just wagering on every single remaining player.

Given his chip position and the number of players who seem to be dead meat, I think the price on Raymer isn't too bad.

[TheGrifter]

I'm a fan of Greg's as well, and I very much want him to win. But at this point he only controls 7% of the chips in play. That is a long, long way from 100%. Also, there are two former champions in good shape as well. The price on any one individual should be no less than 15-1.

what does +1050 mean?

[Uston]

Risk $100 to win $1,050.

If you risk 100 you win $1050 (plus you get your $100 bet refunded).

[adios]

I'd love to see Greg win it. He's been posting at this site since it first started up in the summer of 97. Go Greg.

With that said you make an interesting point here. Based on purely on chip counts odds are:

GREG RAYMER 1303.707803

So it looks like pinnacle has some idea as to the ability of individual players (perhaps it's a reflection of what the public thinks). Greg appears to be one of the best bets on the board but I concede the odds may not be right, don't know really. The worst bets seem to be to long shots who don't have very many chips.
