I was just looking at a the odds on who will win the WSOP main event and I was slightly surprised at the odds on offer for the players. For example,the favourites are Ivey,Negreanu,Hellmuth,Esfandiari all at 175-1.Some others include Doyle Brunson,Laak,Blom,Greenstein are all at 500-1. None of those listed I would consider betting on but some other great players like Schemion,Nitsche,Van Hoofe are all on big odds. Dan Colman 750-1.....Jake Cody 275-1.....Kevin MacPhee 1000-1.....Anthony Zinno 500-1..... For Breaking Bad fans there is a MR Walter White at 1500-1 Ray Romano and Brad Garrett both on 1500-1 Obviously picking a winner at this stage is not easy but with all of the BRM mobsters and their wealth of knowledge we should be able to pick a couple of good picks out.

this is really hard to tell no one can actually know , it doesn't matter who you are in a big field tournament , it is anyone game i would not waste a cent on those but still the odds are so high you can turn 1 dollar into 500+$ so easily but if anyone want to take a chance , i would say don't bet big amount good luck mobsters , i would be watching the main event such an awesome event

those huge odds represent only one thing- no one knows who the fcuk will win it. poker is a strange sport, can't imagine say wimbledon having odds of 1000:1 that djokovic will be the eventual winner, or premier league 699:1 for chelsea to be repeat winners.

IMO best thing to do is pick 10-20 player that you think that can make it and bet on them 1$ or something simular... If some of them win you would have a lot of money!!!

I don't imagine that anyone could realistically pick the winner with much confidence but I was thinking in the same way as StheP and picking a few solid players at big odds and if they do go far it would be a foundation for further bets down the line. If you could do a final table or E/W kind of bet it would make the play very interesting.
