The November Nine betting odds
With one week to go before the big one, check out the odds for the final and some free sports betting offers we have for it.
The 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event resumes next weekend and it is one of the few poker events which has a big betting market attached to it.
A number of our partner rooms have markets on who will win, and if you are new to them you can get one of many free sports bets after depositing, to add an extra element of fun while railing the Main Event. These include offers from TitanBet, Betfair and bet365.
Given that the WSOP Main Event always attracts a quality field, as usual the betting odds tend to reflect the chip stacks more than the individual accomplishments of the players, with current leader Jorryt Van Hoof the big favourite.
However, at the time of writing, the much admired Martin Jacobson is at 8/1 despite being one of the shortest stacks at the table. Here is how the best odds currently line up:
| Player | Chips | Odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Jorryt van Hoof | 38,375,000 | 3/1 |
| Felix Stephensen | 32,775,000 | 5/1 |
| Mark Newhouse | 26,000,000 | 5/1 |
| Andoni Larrabe | 22,550,000 | 8/1 |
| Dan Sindelar | 21,200,000 | 8/1 |
| William Pappaconstantinou | 17,500,000 | 11/1 |
| William Tonking | 15,050,000 | 16/1 |
| Martin Jacobson | 14,900,000 | 8/1 |
| Bruno Politano | 12,125,000 | 18/1 |
*Odds are correct at the time of writing
You can also bet on the Nationality of the winner with bet365. Currently the odds are 6/5 he will be American and 8/13 from the Rest of the World. A good bet if you fancy a particular cluster of players rather than an individual.
Who is your pick for the Main Event? Should Martin Jacobson be priced so low given his short stack? Is it always the chip leader's event to lose? Let us know in the comments.
