WSOP Predictions .. who have you put a few quid on?

Culchie

To make final table, I've a few pennies on

Dan Harrington 50/1
Padraig Parkinson 80/1
Paddy O'Connor 100/1

If I can get a few prices for some of the boardies I'd throw a couple of bob on Oscar and Fintan Gavin, and all the lads for that matter.

I have a small piece of about 9 players from another forum I post on. The chances of an unknown winning are very high. I mean a third of the field qualified from PS (I think) I think atleast 2/3 of the field must be internet qualifiers. Of the well known players I'm going for Scott Fischman.

I would take 10/11 about Daniel Negranu,Howard Lederer,Scotty Nguyen,Gus Hansen,Greg Raymer,Chris Ferguson all not to reach the final table.

How about posting this special up paddy power?

Doh, don't you mean 5/1 ?

I'm not sending you in to any tricky negotiation talks on my behalf

When someone has 'a piece' of a player whats the usual deal. How much € do you have to give a player up front to have lets say 10% of him.

Theres no way the price would even be 6/4. Nearly 6,000 runners. if pp offered me even 5/4 im all-in.
if i were a price maker i would chalk this up at 10/11(paddy power feel free to offer me this job)!. If i was paddy power and the odds room priced up 5/1 i would be looking for heads to roll.

It's usual to have level equity ie 1% of buy-in for 1% of winnings.

€2 on Hasin Habib, €2 on John Juanda (one is 50/1, other is 66/1 - can't remember which).

Oh and a tenner double on Johnny Moss and Stu Ungar

If Harrington makes it three years in a row, I reckon that would be equal any WSOP achievement and a Hall of Fame spot beckons.

BigDragon

Eamon O'Reilly is on there but PPP Qualifier 'Pokertroll' nowhere to be seen????

Culchie

Come on Pit Boss, let's have all the boardies priced up so we can have a punt !!!

You'll make more from the crowd here than directly through paddypower.com !

I'd wait for the tournament to start before having a few bob on Eamon. Didn't the guy he beat heads up for the ticket threaten to shoot him in Vegas before the tournament started. I think Eamon called your mans all in bet with 64o and of course won. The guy followed him around the website for hours screaming obsenities at him. Nice fellow I'd say, well able to take his bad beats.

The group betting and match betting are probably safer territory. I would like to see prices to make the money as that would be an achievement in itself.

Dan Harrington at 7-1 to place better than

Phil Hellmuth
G Hansen
Phil Ivey
H Lederer
D Negreanu
Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliot
Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson
Johnny Chan
John Juanda

Hellmuth fav to make final table???!!!!

Lplate

Given that there will be 6000+ runners, picking players to make the final table is a complete lottery. However, I'm known to like a small gamble and I've backed all the following players for €4 (minimum bet allowed) on Betfair:

Surinder Sunar @ 119/1
Donnacha O'Dea @ 149/1
Simon Trumper @ 169/1
Jeff Shulman @ 199/1
Sam Farha @ 119/1

The first three are my favourite players, Sam Farha has been there before and Jeff Shulman looked like a nice name!!

Culchie

Betfair ... darn .... good idea.

P.S ...I disagree with your lottery comparison.

Just got my quote from Paddy Power for Fintan 66/1

Bit tight methinks (no disrespect to Fintan), Doyle Brunson is 85/1 on betfair !

I put some money on a few players to make final table too (on PP).

PP won't let me see who I backed now though as all the poker transactions use up my account transactions which only go back about 2 weeks. I know Dan Harrington was in there but can't remember who else. I also can't remember how much it was for

They really need to change that interface to show bets that are still outstanding.

Culchie

Did you select 'Unsettled' bets, should narrow it down (hopefully )

jimbling

Imposter... you can def check your bets from longer than two weeks ago... as culchie said... just check the unsettled box.. then change the date to last year. It ill give you all unsettled bets from the entire year...

Imposter

Oops, never saw that unsettled option before! - must get eyes checked.

So anyways I have a mighty 2€ on Negreanu, Hansen, Harrington, Willie Tann and Sam Farha!

califano

I have €100 on the 'Age of winner to be 29 or less' at 10/3 with ppowers. I figure at least 3 players on the final table will be under 29 so i'll hopefully have 1/3 of the final table. This age group should include the majority of internet qualifiers and a small percentage of pros so i figure 10/3 is good value.
