Always one for a challenge, Daniel Negreanu has taken to Twitter to offer anyone with enough cash to bet on his chances of cracking the GPI's top 20.
Currently sitting in 31st place on the global tournament ranking system, Daniel is willing to discuss odds with people who'd like to bet he can’t move up at least 11 places by the WSOP next year.
Additionally he is also prepared to offer 3.5-1 against the proposition that he can't make the top 10 within the same timeframe.
Prospective punters can also bet that any player currently behind Daniel in the rankings will overtake him by the time next summer's Las Vegas tournament fiesta begins.

It's not an easy task for him, and although he is a very well known player, i guess it is too much risk to take to go on investing on something like this. And turning this public can also provoke some damage on his image, don't you think? He is pushing a bit too hard, wanting to go from 31nd to the top 20, the difference between them is more than considerable, it implicates not only play more often on big tourneys and get to the paid places as well winning some. If that doesn't happen, it will be a lot of money on the rail.

He doesnt get enough money from poker and now he wants to get even more by placing bets on his play? Not an easy task the one he is talking about. Probably another poker player maybe take his bet.
