World Series of Poker Betting - How Many Players Will Compete this Year?

Date: 4 Jun 2011 - Category: Online Poker

Ladbrokes has today opened a book on the size of the 2011 World Series of Poker - WSOP - field. The betting firm believes that following April 15th, poker's Black Friday - when the FBI effectively barred online poker to US citizens, there will be fewer qualifiers for the 2011 event than last year.

The gaming company, one of the world's biggest and oldest bookmakers who have been in operation since 1886, believe that the fallout from 'Black Friday' will have an effect on this year's WSOP. So much so, that the firm is offering betting odds of 7/2 that there will be less than 4,249 runners – 3,000 less than last year.

The firm is also offering odds of 15/8 that there will be 5,000 to 5,749 runners, the same bracket as the 2005 event six years ago. It is also 15/8 that there will be between 4,250 and 4,999.

Last year there were over 7,000 runners, the second highest in the tournaments history, but this year Ladbrokes believe this will be much lower and is offering betting odds of 5/1 that there will be more than 6,500 runners.

In other markets the bookmaker is offering betting odds of 50/1 that a woman wins the main event. However, only one woman player has ever made the final table of the WSOP main event, Barbara Enright in 1995. Ladbrokes price the chances of that feat being repeated at 9/4.
