Post your WSOP "Final 9" inside

[phonepole]

Guys i'm kinda naiive at this, but...
there are 52 players listed under the odds to win (all in), the lowest payout i think is Negreanu at +24249... is it stupid to think you can throw in say $1 on all of them, the lowest payout would be $242 - 51 = $191 if any one of them wins... am i missing something???

[melonge]

are you missing something?

yes, the fact that the last 3 years random amateurs have won and there are over 5000 expected entrants...maybe not a bad bet at $1, but at more, probably not worth it...

I made my 15 bets back on June 22.... the odds have changed since, but I will post what I got with each player....

Hellmuth +4318
Ivey + 4082
Lederer + 4350
Negraneau + 4076

Ok, so I like favs here... Hellmuth has won once, and Ivey was 10'th and 23'rd (2003 and 2002)

Old timers....

****** Chan +6000
Eric Seidel +6821
TJ Cloutier + 6500
Chip Reese + 6809

...maybe one of these guys can pull off an Ungaresque comeback (like Stu in 1997)

Annie Duke +10,000 (she was 10'th in 2000)
Todd Brunson +7264 (well, yanno...hes a Brunson, after all)
Gus Hansen +4419 (he's a great all around player, seems due for something big)
Chris Ferguson + 5753 ( he won in 2000 and he's just so cool looking)
Dutch Boyd +13,000 (cuz my girlfriend thinks hes cute)
Marcel Luske +7264 (he seems weird enough to win it all)
Chris Johansson +10,000 (my grandfathers name was Johansson)

I need one of these to make the final table of 9 players....GL to everyone

Just got around to looking at this.

Took Negreanu to win 5 to win 1500
Final Table Bets
Negreanu 10/400
H Lederer 10/500
Ivey 10/300
Fossilman 5/500
Thunder Keller 5/700
Harrington 5/300

Looked at Luske, Hansen, and Fishman. That would be my 9.

Good Luck to everyone.

[melonge]

my 9

includes six people whose names we don't really know...then 3 of the 52 or so you can bet on...good luck...

Are they really expecting that many entrants? No wonder the odds are so high.

I've read that 6600 is where they're capping it.

That's why it's almost impossible to pick a winner. I think we'll be extremely lucky if any of us even nail one of the guys at the final table.

You could end up with 9 partypoker guys at that table.

[SwampDog]

Mule is right I guess.....its worth taking a shot though...for fun...GL

[Tigger]

It is very hard to do gentlemen, and that's why I wouldnt' advise anything huge on it, just a little small change on each player. I'll update the list each night when one of are consensus picks is knocked out, so we know whose left in the tournament each day.
