Pokertropolis Posts Opening Odds for the 37th WSOP Finals
Pokertropolis (www.pokertropolis.com), has posted the opening odds for players to win the 37th World Series of Poker (WSOP) finals held at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino, July 7-15, and Hollywood A-Lister Ben Affleck is the current favourite to win at 450-1.
Pokertropolis, the first online poker site to post odds on celebrities in the WSOP finals in 2004, places Affleck’s celebrity poker nemesis, Tobey Maguire, at 500-1. James Woods is at 700-1, just behind Greg 'Fossilman' Raymer, last year’s winner, at 600-1. Other notables include: Matthew Perry, Don Cheadle, Shannon Elizabeth, Dennis Rodman, David Schwimmer, Danny Masterson, Chris Masterson, Mena Suvari and Charlie Sheen all at 1,000-1.
The biggest surprise is that the giants of the screen are well ahead of the giants of poker: Paul 'Eskimo' Clark is 800-1, Kathy Liebert and Phil Helmuth, Jr., are 900-1, while Annie Duke and Chris Moneymaker have mountains to climb at 1000-1. David Anthony Williams, who came second at last year’s tournament, is 1200-1.
Players betting at Pokertropolis can wager on celebs for their own advantage, while simultaneously shaping the day-to-day celebrity and pro player odds. Wagering is limited to Pokertropolis members, who may register for free.
