Default Re: Odds on all players in National Heads-Up Championship

the odds are calculated with (betting) popularity taken into consideration just as much as skill rating for a given player.

jamie gold's short odds are to do with the fact that he's a big name.

the same with phil ivey - although he's also very good at poker.

if a lot of people are going to bet on player x, they'll shorten the odds to cover their asses.
