World Series of Poker/WSOP Odds of Winning Main Event (May 21)

[Bill Murphy]

Agreed. Perhaps Ivey, Juanda, Daniel and a couple of others might be slightly under your numbers, but if someone(or someone casino) puts together an attractive, high traffic WSOP futures book they should have way the best of it.

there is obviously not going to be a field bet, it would take a huge advantage from the house. the only way they might let you bet the field is if you were laying -5000 or something, but even then thats still a good bet.

edit: i just saw the post from the offshore book. those odds are more like it. i still dont think anyone on that list will win it but atleast the odds are reasonable this time.

btw +30000 means you must bet $100 to win $30,000, 300 to 1.
negative odds work in similar fashion. -5000 means you must bet $5000 to win $100, or 1 to 50.

they seriously think phil ivey would beat a field of 6600 once every 25 times? good christ...i would say the best odds for anyone should be 1/100.

LOL... the original post shows Moneymaker being a better bet than David Chiu. Wasn't he player of the year 3 years back?

And the "respected offshore" sites have Moneymaker and Raymer even. Moneymaker was a first time player, Raymer is an accomplished pro.

Who writes these odds?
