Bodog had 10:3 odds the winner would be between the ages of 21-25- or 12:5 between the ages of 26-30. Those each seem like great bets.

Odds for making the Final Table:
Steven Paul Ambrose 200:1
Jennifer Tilly 200:1
Jeff Madsen 130:1
Greg Raymer 70:1
Dan Harrington 56:1

These all actually seem like pretty bad bets to me.

This year will be different- I'm curious what the Prelim event FT ages were...or even the breakdown of the fields ages. I'm guessing with all the internet qualifiers- there will be A LOT of younger players in the field.

Also:

Mike Caro 200:1
Andy Bloch 150:1
Ben Affleck 200:1
Annie Duke 150:1

I'm too late to bet the ages- but I just thought the lines were interesting. I'm not betting on any of the players I listed.

Internet qualifiers is what made the WSOP so big in '04 and '05. There should be a proportionate # of younger players in this year's field.

you do realize any bet to win that is under 1500-1 is a joke
