WSOP 2007
Wednesday, May 30, 2007
The 2007 WSOP starts in a matter of hours, this is my last ditch plea to get in on some of the action. So, this is me, officially declaring that I am looking for any and all prop bets. If you are interested in one of the following bets, for as little as $1 and as much as $20, leave a comment. Even if you can't be at the 2007 WSOP, at least playing along will be fun. I've only got two ideas currently, but I'm open to others.
1. Over/Under amount of players in the Main Event- You send me your over/under number and I'll choose to go over or under.
2. Pick'em Horserace- You choose one or more professional players and I do the same. For each bracelet won by your or my player(s), the other person pays. This will last for the entire WSOP, and could accumulate some nice dough...or none at all. We can even offer a lesser amount for each final table, such as $1 for final tabling, $5 for wins, or even $5/$20.
I am reserving my right to cap the betting and reject any offers, but I'm interested in getting some action on this thing, so hit me up with a comment or email if you are interested.

#2, I choose Brandon Schaefer and Carl Olson--I'll let you choose any two besides Chan/Brunson/Helmuth.
$5 for final tables, $15 for wins? -

I like it, MeanHappy. I'll go with Carlos Mortensen and Phil Ivey. That was easy!

i'm interested in some bets, but won't be at the WSOP. Will you do paypal or FTP transfers?

I won't be there either. FTP is preffered, and PayPal is acceptable as long as the sender adds a little extra dough to cover the transfer fees.

Unimpressed:
1) I'll take the Under.
2) I'm tempted to reject this one, since I think the Poker Brat will have a good year, but hell, let's gamble. I'll stick with Carlos Mortensen and add James Madsen.
Good luck. -

Actually, Unimpressed, I'd like to change one of my pick from Madsen to James Van Alstyne.

Not particularly, but since its a longshot, what do you have in mind? We can even add a last-longer in the main event thing, assuming all players we picked are going to play. I might want to pick different horses for that bet, but I'm open to sticking to the ones we have. What do you have in mind for a prize? It might be fun to do something that doesn't involve $ directly, but I'm open to a $ figure.

we'll leave it as is. Though what kind of non $ bets were you thinking about?

Unimpressed, I'm thinking a t-shirt of the winner's choosing, or a banner placed on the loser's site for a month advertising the winner's blog. Of course, the t-shirt costs money to the loser, but its a little more interesting than some $ figure.
Bayne, deal. I'll take Carlos Mortensen and Greg Raymer.
And I think that will close my wagers. Thanks everyone. -

Sorry, Ebs, but I'm going to have to pass on the Ivey/Ferguson bet, partly because I think those are great picks and partly because I already have picked Ivey for one of my bets.
As for the Main Event Over/Under, I'll take the Under. -

Ebs, my calculations for my Over/Under are a closely guarded secret. That and I think they are wrong in hindsight. But all of my bets stand. As for your Ferg/Neg bet, I'll take Mortensen and Raymer.
