Dax, you should change the odds on me, I am not getting bet on and I am not making it into the top ten lists by people here, better odds (e.g. +2000) might get people to bet on me....
Cheers!

Wow at -1500 it appears that I am the overwhelming favorite in this thing. The rest of you don't stand a chance it seems.

i know it's supposed to be for fun. but if you bet on 3 guys at +800 or so each you are essentially getting less than 3 to 1 odds for taking way less than 1% of the field.
maybe if everyone was at least +5000?
casinos/lotteries are for fun too but at least they give you a fighting chance and don't have 90%+ juice...

I've had a rough May but I finished 2nd today and I'm -1500. Must have to do with playing so much SNG when it was open.

Try 900%+
I'll be putting out my own odds soon, much will be much more reasonable and also offer more interesting bets like player vs. player.

Im throwing a little on Thad would have done 4uk bud but your odds are ridiculous.
Do we know who all has a seat for the final table thus far? Or is that the list or just who people have been betting on. I agree with the logic where there is no point in betting on yourself.

depends on how you calculate the juice thaddeus. i was saying more than 90% of the bet is kept by the house unlike lottery online games/raffles/etc where it's "only" 50%.
you're right though if you calculate from the baseline.
i like buying $20 scratch offs for fun, but they return about 85% so on average i'm only donating $3/ticket (15%) to the state which to me is a fair price for the fun they provide.

Don't bet on me, guys. Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, I don't think I can even play.
Fishhead is offering 100/1 on any poster, I hear.

Wow, can I bet against this?

Actually, it means a lot of respect. Higher odds means less respect.

It sounds like you and Thad calculated about the same thing, just you're saying it in different ways.

I don't anticipate anyone being better than +3000, most will be +5000 to +10000.

I see. In that case, you are probably fairly close, although I wouldn't be surprised if the real % is even higher than 90.

If you added an extra 0 to Dax's odds for each entrant you'd still have a huge edge.
