The World Series of Poker begins today and the betting odds
give investors sundry opportunities. Most of the key action for poker handicappers will commence in mid-to-late
June.
One can ante on whether or not Phil Helmuth
gets his 12th bracelet at the WSOP. Sports
bettors can also wager whether or not Doyle Brunson or Johnny Chan will be
awarded their 11th bracelet. But NewBodog allows
the interesting proposition bet of one or the other, neither, or both getting
the bracelet.
Event 45 is the $50,000 buy in HORSE event. Which player
will last the longest? Daniel Negreanu, Barry Greenstein,
and Phil Ivey are the co-favorites at 9/2. The next group to have the wining poker strategy at 6/1 is
Doyle Brunson, Patrik Antonius,
Allen Cunningham, and Freddy Deeb. Coming up the
rear, Eli Elerza, David Williams, and Chris Ferguson
are all at 15/2.
Which celebrity poker player will win the most money in
Event 54? James Woods, Jennifer Tilly, Yevgeny Kafelnikov, and Shannon Elizabeth are the favorites
at 5/1. Long forgotten Boris Becker, Don Cheadle, Ben
Affleck, and Norm McDonald are 9/1.
Odds are also posted on Tobey
McGuire, Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Montel
Williams, Brad Garrett, Sully Erna, Jose Conseco, Lennox Lewis, Hank Azaria
and Penn Gillette.
Betting odds on the Sex in
the City movie, propositions on the National
Spelling Bee and the possibility of an NFL
lockout are among the possibilities at various sportsbooks.
