    Also this year ESPN will be webcasting during day 3. That has NEVER happened before. That force some tight play out of some of the players.


    You statistics expert cant factor in the above information.



    I mean seriously Lou. Someone who would have around 40,000 chips should have your +220 odds.

    Very interesting .... Just ask yourselves this...


    In the history of SBR, what happens when 100 % of the posters are on a particular side ??


    That being said.... I am going to make a homer pick , and risk 10 points on NO .

    GO FUZZYY !!

    Well betting the -250 isnt really appealing.


    I am not saying that you will make it to day 4 for sure or not, but the line is Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off. I mean it is not even close to being correct judging from the amount of chips that you have. By the way, are we SURE that you actually have the amount of chips that Lou said that you had?

    I do tend to agree with what PO is saying. I haven't watched Fuzzy play, but I tend to think he has a better chance of making it through the day than +220 suggests.

    Yeah normally these things don't tend to turn out well when we're piled on one side. This time I prefer to think that all of the No bettors realise the line is too high and we're following proper gambling strategy here. Plus, usually when we're betting on something it involves overpaid athletes, many of whom have peabrains. Fuzzy's in this to win it. May be his one chance to dance so I know he'll bust his ass to make it through.

    Playersonly69,

    Are you still in Vegas? How did you get knocked out of the tourney?

    It would of been great if you were still in it.

    Would be funny, if on the very last hand of day 3, Fuzzy has an allin hand, but just to be on the safe side in case he loses, he keeps 1 chip back to stay alive to ensure he comes back for day 4,

    How crappy would that be like the guy said above, even for any player.
    The last hand of the day and you end the day with like 100 chips or less.

    Imagine it was at the end of a day where you don't come back and play for 2 days.

    I'd just head home

    Good point, but I know in playing online poker a lot of us have had those miracle comebacks from like 100 chips to getting back into the game. Maybe not at these blinds though, would need like 10 double ups.

    ESPN3.com will have coverage early on. No way of knowing what tables will be shown.

    ESPN2 I think picks it up in primetime (7 PM EDT).
