World Series Of Poker
2006 WSOP 10K No Limit Holdem (Main Event)
Odds to win Main Event (All bets are action)
Allen Cunningham
put in 100 in small bets on various players to make the event somewhat interesting although i didn't play in it and don't do tournamnents.
its only a small ten dollar bet that was i'm sure -ev when i made it, but here i am. 10 k payday if it hits.
i probably shouldn't even bother to hedge at all because its only ten bucks, and i feel he's far and away the class of the final table, but anything can happen, and probably want to lock in 1k or something like that.
i need help finding any book with will cunningham win- "NO"
as of now, pinny is only putting a yes/no on top 2 which does me zero good if he finishes second.
again, i really do honestly think he wins, but would probably be silly not to get something for my time.
if you do see a yes/no to win bet at a book of yours, could you please respond which book in this thread. i haven't looked around to hard yet, but was hoping pinny would do it, but it seems they don't want the hedgehogs. they must have written more future tickets than i think they are comfortable with at these ridiculous odds.
anway, thanks, gl and go cunningham
p.s. i played with him in the late 90's when he was just coming up and was a great guy back then, and all indications he still is. would be a great ambassador to poker.
also found this article, although i'm not too sure what to make of whether or not he means it about chip leader gold. thought a few of you might find this interesting(excerpt from espn interview):
In the middle of this is Jamie Gold the poker player, the real thing, running over what's left of the field of 8,773 players to take that massive chip lead in the greatest reality show in poker: the World Series main event.
Now it gets interesting. Now the question has guts. Now you wonder if Gold the agent would tell Gold the producer that the story was too Hollywood even for Hollywood.
"There might be a story,'' Gold said, "if I dump at the end because I don't want to be famous.''
Excuse me? "Dump at the end''? Isn't it every player's dream to win this one event?
"I don't want to be famous,'' Gold said while sitting in the Bodog lounge before Day 6 of the event Monday. "I'm not sure if I want to win. And I'm in control of that.''
The stunning epiphany hit the 36-year-old Malibu, Calif., resident earlier that morning.
"I just thought about what would happen if I won,'' Gold said. "Out of the goodness of their heart, a lot of people would feel like they needed to talk to me, they'd want to know what I was doing, cameras would follow me around. I don't want my life on display. I don't have anything to hide. I'm just not that person. I've always been behind other people. I like making other people famous. I'm not comfortable being in the spotlight. I like my private life.
"I also don't want to be responsible for being the ambassador of poker or anything like that. What Greg Raymer does is amazing. Good for him. I'm not looking to quit my job. I like the job I do. I don't need the money. I'm not doing this for the money. I love the competition.''
The money, though. It's $12 million.
"The money will help my father,'' Gold said. "But $6 million will help him, too. I would rather come in second.''
Suddenly, this raises the question of the way he might play his hands. The integrity issue comes into play.
"I haven't decided what I'm doing,'' he said. "If it's inappropriate, I won't do it. I'm just telling you that if I had to plan it out, coming in second would be more satisfying to me.''
