The winners of the 2007 World Series of Poker won't be the only ones cashing in.
betED Props is offering bettors a chance to make some money on the World Series of Poker without even playing a hand.
At BetED Props, bettors can wager on which poker player will make it to the Final Table at the 38th edition of the world's most prestigious poker tournament, set for June 1 through July 17, 2007, at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. You can even bet on what will be the winning hand.
The top five favorites to make it to the Final Table, with betED odds, are: Phil Ivey (+1200); Daniel Negreanu (+1500); Phil Hellmuth (+2200); Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson (+2200); Erik Seidel (+3500).
The WSOP features 55 bracelet events with buy-ins up to $50,000. Among the additions to the schedule are $2,500 HORSE event and $5,000 Mixed Hold'Em Events and a $5,000 Heads-up No-Limit Hold'Em World Championship.
"The 2007 schedule offers something for everyone," said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the World Series of Poker. "As part of our commitment to innovate for the benefit of all players, we've added nine bracelet events and created more opportunities for both amateurs and professionals to win poker's most coveted prize."
The 55-event 2007 WSOP schedule compares with 46 events in 2006, when more than 42,000 entrants from 56 countries generated a total prize pool exceeding $171 million - the largest purse in competitive sports. The 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event - the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold'Em World Championship - attracted a field of 8,773 players. More than 870 players won money in the 2006 WSOP Main Event, including reigning world champion Jamie Gold, who captured the top prize of $12 million.
In addition to an expanded schedule, the 2007 World Series of Poker will offer players more space, with up to 300 tables available for tournament and live-game play. The additional tables will enable tournament officials to reduce the start days for the WSOP Main Event to three. As in 2006, World Series of Poker officials will allow players entering the WSOP Main Event to choose their start dates as long as seats are available on the selected dates.
The event will be broadcast on ESPN.
