Who"s priced me at 100/1??  I purposefully performed appallingly in all previous APAT events so I"d be a 200/1 shot for this event.

I think it was worked out on the basis that even a dart thrown by a small child might at some point hit the middle of the board.  :D

While, statistically speaking, "the wall" does have many pin holes, the price also factors in a very decent performance at the 210 runner APAT UK event at Aspers in December 2006.

I think I see a little value is that list.  :-\
(Edit: I have now had my £10 EW on the 150/1 shot)

But, it certainly isn"t me at 80/1!!!  :o

Not used to this betting lark - just want to make sure nobody is tempted to put a bet on me. I"m hoping my odds will drift to at least 200-1
Title: Re: World Amateur Championship Betting Market Open
Post by: AMRN on August 21, 2008, 09:02:04 AM
I"ve never cashed in an APAT live event, nor an APAT online event. I"ve never scored a single APAT point......  I was given 125/1 for Blackpool and failed there too...... but now I am at 100/1 for this event. Would have expected to see myself out beyond the 200s.   No idea what logic applies here.......  perhaps someone has cottoned on that I"m actually Phil Ivey in disguise! :)

Still, I will donk off £10 EW anyway.

i know its sounds trivial but top 50 sounds better than 91st!

Yes, agree with that and for what its worth, when APAT submitted the proposed odds list to Blue Square, Paul was at 80 to 1.  However a number of the proposed prices have moved, one being Paul - as to why, I"ve no idea.

Your performance in cashing at one of the largest NLHE events ever held is why you are at 80"s.

Who on earth decided I should only be 125/1  :o , surely I"m only worthy of being a minimum 200/1 (or much higher TBH  ;) )

I still wouldn"t bet on myself  :D

My FT result for blackpool is also incorrectly put under a Ross Johnson of Irish decent who is a player with a decent record. Unfortuantely he and I are different people and he doesnt even give a % of his winnings.


Thanks for letting me know, that"s corrected.

Steve Hedger 100- 1 (Me) Very poor value even at 1000 - 1

Briny Stone 200 - 1   Excellent value 10 x Better Value than me. My £10 Bet is going on her.

Could Blue Sq do a  "Make the Final Table bet" ?????

Surely Vicky Coleman is the stand out bet at 150/1. After all, she won the EPT event at the same venue a couple of years ago.

Hi - will the recent seat exchanges get updated on blue sq? I luckily got a seat last night and wouldn"t mind having a little flutter on myself - 500/1 should be about right...  ;)
