WSOP Field Bet

[Dan Rutter]

One thing I think you have to look at is who is all included in the top 275 players. There are some players that would not rank in the top 275 players that are ranked by the betting sites because they have had some success in recent tournaments, and names are known by the public. There are some players who should be in the top 275, based on skill, but are not reconized by the betting public, so their names are not included in the betting sites top 275. When this is the case the field becomes even stronger. Look at someone like Josh Arieh, last year I doubt he would have been included in the top 275 because no one knew of him. This year after winning one tournament I saw John Stolzman, who won the Jack Binnion's Open, as a person to bet on for the WSOP ME. Nothing against John, but there are probably a number of pros, like Josh last year who have overall more skill or a higher chance of winning the tournament then him. They are just not included in the top 275 because not as many people in the betting public have heard of them.
