World Series of Poker Betting Lines

tOK, I admit it, I like to gamble, to bet, to wager. My sports betting habits are however a bit strange. I am bored by whether the Tigers will defeat the Falcons or if the Bruins can beat the spread against United.

I like prop bets! And when those aren't available I really like nonsense bets against the odds, like the lines on various aspects of the World Series of Poker that came out today. Here are a few of my favorites:

Number of Entrants in the Main Event:

Under 2000 33 - 1
2000-2499 250 - 1
2500-2999 200 - 1
3000-3499 125 - 1
3500-3999 80 - 1
4000-4499 40 - 1
4500-4999 25 - 1
5000-5499 11 - 1
5500-5999 6 - 1
6000-6499 5 - 1
6500-6999 7 - 2
7000-7499 4 - 1
7500-7999 5 - 1
8000-8499 13 - 2
8500-8999 9 - 1
9000+ 7 - 2

I gotta go with the favorite here, right around 6700.
The under 2,000 number must be in case of terrorist attack.
The over 9,000 folks have been drinking heavily.
