Irish Open Betting

speedytom

If anybody from Paddy Power reads this would there be any chance you could put up some match and/or group last longer bets for the Irish open. I think there would probally more gambling done on match bets than on the outright market.

karlh

we will be adding a whole host of markets in the next week including match bets.

we are always open to suggestions so if you have any you would like to have a punt on schtick them down here.

Gholimoli

can any one post a link to the odds offered on current players.
there was one about a month ago but i cant find it.

ditpoker

Nationality of the winner: ireland has to be favourite but i'd stick a few quid on sweden. bleeding scandinavians are taking over poker!

Final Table to feature any of the hendon mob: are they even playing does anyone know?

Gholimoli to win: 2/1 , well worth €5!

That was what i was planning!!

RoundTower

I remember hearing about a $100 tourney where the first 5 players (of 50 or so) to get knocked out would get $200 each. I always wanted to find a tourney with this structure.

Golf has a load of oddball markets. Poker betting should be a lot like golf betting ...... a big field, most players with little chance.

Examples

Player v Player ..... might not work in poker (possible collusion)
Player Groups ....... Young Guns; Old Fogeys ("Mature" might be more pc); Ladies; Dubs; Culchies; Foreign; ..... you could have groups of ten and offer ~ 8/1 each player.
Finishing Positions ...... name two players to finish in top 50; name three players to finish in top 50;

Or you could pay odds of say 40 minus the finishing position e.g. if a player finished 10th you would pay odds of (40-10) ..... 30/1. You could vary this. Andy Black could be 20, so he would pay (20-10) or 10/1. You would have to do some homework to fix the number for each and possibly limit the stake.

The problem is you need good info on who will play, and you need good info on finishing positions.


I've just had a look at the Paddy Power odds. They look sensible unlike the 8/1 Boylesports offered on the favourite in Citywest in January.

I really like this idea.

I think the player vs player bets could be very dangerous, and it would definitely lead to collusion IMO.

You could get a bad beat and win the pot.:)

Is there a reason why donnacha o'dea isn't listed on betfair?

The_Flyer

a little off the topic but does anyone know off hand how many places are left in the Irish Poker Open and how many runners there will be?

Karlh,
I know its not your specific area but pp have still only the one special market(last longest)?.
Could you point them in the direction of some of the suggested markets listed earlier in this thread?.
