Default A bet

I would like some opinions on this bet.

Even-money.

The bet is whether one person, any person, will win more than one bracelet at this year's World Series.

Tell me which side you take.

just look at the last five years, how many times has it happened? the field sizes are getting bigger but if it has happened regularly id go with it.

maybe you don't understand that EVERY event is going to be roughly the size of last years ME, with the possible exception of the Razz tourney, and some other smaller-ish events.

there's very little chance someone will win two bracelets in hold'em or omaha events. maybe someone can take down one of the big one's and one of the small one's...but even that is a longshot.

how many events are there? not every event is going to be huge. and every event is going to be 2K players plus? ok sure. maybe there will be a 3-4 1K+ ones other than the main event, but there are a ton of events.

Yeah, I'm thinking that. The much bigger events plus the removal of many of the limit events - including the mix games - makes me think I've got the best of it now. It's close. Only fourteen fixed limit tournaments.
