APAT WCOAP Betting Market 2009

[WarBwastardo]

Will they update this market before kick-off on Friday?

[bigredders]

wow im 80/1...along with a plethora of previous winners, and fantastic players

must have got me mixed up with someone else!

Thanks for pointing this out Mark.  Mistakes do happen and we"ll get Blue Square to add the extra zero in the morning.  

no problem, knew it couldnt be right....everybody knows i blow up before the final table!

40/1 is hilarious, no-one should ever be 40/1
even 66/1 isn"t credible.

I"ll lay anyone even money that i think a player with odds of 150/1 or higher wins the main event, up to twenty british pounds

the first person to accept can consider the action booked

EDIT: WYoung83 action booked

me......whats you name? im playing friday. take that bet on.

I find it strange that in an event with around 300 runners, not one single player is 300-1 or, as should be, worse than this price. Where are the 400-1 shots? Can we all be better than the average for this event? (Note: that"s impossible )

How can 200-1 be the outsiders in a 300 horse race? No wonder the favourites are such poor odds!

Do they really believe poker players don"t understand odds and are ust ripping us off?

I agree with this John, but at the end of the day it is just a bit of fun. BSQ wont make much money on this due to the £20 limit put in place

[K3vl4rUK]

whens the updated list next getting altered?

i wanna bok myself! lol

rich hinds, playing friday too, if you are will young you were at my table at the start of day two in the irish championships.

also i got you E/W when you too were 150/1

but anyway, anyone wins with odds of 150/1 or greater at the start of play, I win
anyone wins with odds of 149/1 or lower, you win

i posted a copy of the prices in case they are removed by bluesq here:

Sweet. Cheers Rich. im a sucker for props....if you remember what i look like then come and say hi.

I agree with you about it beign crazy for 2 players to be 40-1. They may well be the best players in the room, but evan if phill hellmuth shows up, i wouldnt bother putting money on him to win, (and what would the 0dds be then 10-1?).
Apat events become craapshoots towards the end of day 1. And there is way too much luck involved, with surving coin flips over and over, i know most tourneys apart from the $10,000 main events go like this at some point. Maybe with 300 runners this tourney could be better though. More chips spread over the last 2 tables and final table etc....

Wow, iv just seen that i have gone from 150-1 and now at 80-1...., i should not be 80-1.such a big jump A few peoples odds have changed actually.

Will is the one with the  baseball cap welded to his head  

[Cyntaf]

Hi will, people probably had bets on you, or someone placed a huge bet on you.
Alternatively, B.S. are reading this...lol

I think the two being at 40/1 is less to do with the odds BS think they have of winning, but more a reflection of the amount that has been bet on each of them to win it (probably by the players themselves).  The new odds are just a reflection of the action on them.

in the case of neil blatchly i believe this is true as its indicated on other forums he has backed himself. but as for ben turnstill the price is laughable, ben was put in at 40/1 and hasnt had a penny on himself nor as far as i know nobody else has either.

i hope not anyway because ben isnt actually playing. he perchased a seat a week or so ago hoping to but has since tranfered it to a friend. apat were informed a fair while ago and was hoping blue square might adjust there market accordingly.
