Don't know if this will interest anybody out there but there are a few English bookmakers starting to price up on who will be on the final table at this year's WSOP. With so many entrants this year finding a player who reaches the final table may be like looking for a needle in a haystack but some of you might be interested.

The minimum odds you can get on ANY player is 50/1 to make the final table.

There are four firms betting at the moment. They are Victor Chandler, Blue Square, Bet365 and Stan James.

With 6000 entrants his year, throwing darts at a dartboard is more likely to pick the right name, than actually looking at who is playing well. Last year there were 1/3 as many players and still Dan Harrington, and Marcel Luske were the only players that anyone had ever heard of in the final hundred.

Um

Didn't josh arieh get to the final table?

yeah but he's an asshole.

you can ask for a quote for your friends on bet365, it's about 400:1 I put 10$ on 3 friends
hope they will have a good tourney

I know its your friends and I would do the same thing for a small sum of money, but if they do have 6000 or so people 400:1 is horrible odds. Talk about a large -ev play. I'm not sure I would take any of the top pros only getting 400:1.

Rhound, I think the 400:1 odds are to make the final table, not to win the whole shabang. Or is it shebang...whatever. In which case 400:1 isn't quite so bad.

If I'm wrong and it is 400:1 to win, than that's criminal.

Even if its to make the final table those are still crappy odds, but a little better i guess.
