Interesting WSOP ME - Sportsbook Bet.
So, pinnaclesports.com has what i consider to be a very reasonable wager being offered for the WSOP ME. I've reviewed many sportsbooks to see if there were any value bets to be made, and this is the only one i've come up with. id be interested in seeing what you kids think.
The way it works is you pick either Group 1 or Group 2. In each group you get 10 assigned players. The winning wager will be decided depending on which group of 10 players makes more money in the WSOP ME. Group 1: Phil Hellmuth Dan Harrington John Juanda Chris Ferguson Johnny Chan Barry Greenstein John Phan Tuan Le Michael Mizrachi Antonio Esfandiari Group 2: Daniel Negreanu Howard Lederer Ted Forrest Erick Lindgren Layne Flack Erik Siedel Doyle Brunson Scotty Nguyen Mike Matusow Scott Fischman When thinking about the list, i think one side should clearly be favored over the other. however, they're offering each side at -105 (meaning, bet 105$ to win 100$). Then, i sent the list to my friend who felt whole-heartedly that the other side would win. So, what do you think and why? |

Bodog is offering odds as well on the ME, but I believe you can actually choose a player. I believe the lowest odds I saw were like 180-1.

I actually think it's pretty close.
If I had to pick, I'd pick group 2. |

Re: Interesting WSOP ME - Sportsbook Bet.
While I agree I think group one is stronger this is by no means "easy money" due to the escalating pay scale. Group one could outperform group 2 but one deep finish is likely to decide the whole thing. That being said, -105 is very low juice, so it's probably a good bet, it's just tough to be a great bet.
