In Topic: Daniel The Favorite To Win Main Event At 40-1

I'm the furthest thing from an expert sports bettor but I don't see how anybody could really be much better than 500-1 in the Main Event.

500-1 would even be too good of odds, imo.

In a 6000 person field, at 500-1, you're effectively saying that person is 12 times as likely to win as the average player.

I don't think you can go above 5 times, not even for Daniel or Ivey.

Probably as good as we're going to get. It also heartens me that the summary does not include a "bad actor" clause that seems to be popping up in every bill these days.

That said, California is on an opt out track, based on current legislative efforts in the state, which makes me sad.

The Cali market is big enough to stand on it's own for cash games but for big tourneys more would help.
I don't see why the states that share Powerball wouldn't one day pool poker players.

Two words: Indian tribes. They'll be the biggest player whenever California gets online gaming back.

It is interesting to note that the maximum buy-in for No-Limit Hold’em is 50 big blinds, and for Limit Hold’em it is 50 big bets

What does everyone suppose the reasoning for this might be?

That one seems easy on its face - if you win smaller pots, more of the money is taken out of the player pool in rake, meaning more profits for them.

A secondary thought would be to make players "bust" less, if they are able to get more play for their deposit. This leads back to the first point though.
