Default 2006 WSOP: Tilley favored over 4 former WSOP champs?

Yes I know it's early, but I was suprised to see Jennifer Tilley as a bigger favorite to win the WSOP main event than 4 former champions.

Odds to win WSOP main event, (from Betusa.com)

Jennifer Tilley: 1500-1

Brad Daughtery: 2000-1
Noel Furlong: 2000-1
Chris Moneymaker: 2000-1
Robert Varkonyi: 2000-1

Other notables:

Joe Hachem: 1000-1
Steve Dannenmann: 2000-1
Fossilman: 750-1
Phil Ivey (favorite): 200-1
Tiffany Williamsen: 2000-1 (same as David Sklansky)

If that's not [censored], I don't know what is.

200:1 on Phil Ivey is ridiculous. Nobody is that much of a favorite

Tilly--fine being higher than those 4...although I would say that Varkonyi plays much better now than he did when he won....but I'm pretty sure that I have a bettere chance than moneymaker [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

wow nothing against steve dannenmann, but no way he's got the same odds as Sklansky

and Tiffany Willaimsen as well...wtf

they should both be less than even odds [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: oh and 200:1 on ivey...ummm I don't think that people understand how poker works

At what point would you put say $100 on Ivey?

1000 to 1?

5000 to 1?

And I noticed there was no "Rest of Field" option this year. Not sure what the field paid last year.

best bet you could make, and possibly the only one I would lay money down on, is that a man will win it.

You mean you wouldn't take Annie Duke and her 750-1 odds?

The more I look at it, the more I like Hoyt Corkins at 1000-1. He seems to be an "All-in" type of guy who either busts out early or makes a final table.

Not sure if you're serious or not, but no I dont think I would. A man is almost guaranteed to win, its pretty much a lock bet.
