WSOP 2010 is now underway, and so are the big bracelet bets. Earlier we reported about Phil Ivey's huge $5 million WSOP bracelet bet, and now also Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo and Tom "durrrr" Dwan tell about their bets.
Below you can see what bets Dwan is having/taking (from 2+2):
"I’m taking the following bets:
3.25-1 on getting a bracelet this year, london counts
2-1 on getting 2 bracelets in 3years, london counts as a chop (if i win 2+ in vegas i win, if i win 8 in london 0/1 in vegas we wash)
me vs ivey getting 2-1, london counts, if we both win a bracelet its a wash (even if i win 8 and he wins 1 its a wash or vice versa)
me vs negreanu getting 2-1, london counts, if we both win a bracelet its a wash (even if i win 8 and he wins 1 its a wash or vice versa)
most cashes at wsop (with or without london) vs anyone of your choosing i get 1.3-1
if you wanna bet 5k+ and will escrow (or have someone i trust enough to vouch) message me on 2p2 and we can bet.
I’ll look before the 50k starts, and book bets then, if we bet after the 50k i’ll need 3.6-1 or some other solution (could play a bellagio prelim w/ similar # of people etc) for the 1year bet, and 2.1-1 for 2 in 3years.
If theres any crazy need for arbitration (harrah’s closes wsop after 12 events etc) all bets will be settled at the same rate as the 2-3 biggest bets i have (which in most fields will probably be with ivey/negreanu etc)"
Obviously there is a lot of money in stake, and according to Cardplayer.com Dwan said that: “It would be worth at least $2 million this year to win a bracelet, maybe more”.
Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo instead has made a list of players who currently reside or are staying in the Panorama Towers in Las Vegas during the WSOP, and is laying 10:1 that somebody on the list will win a bracelet this year. Bonomo takes only bets that are a minimum of $1,000, and the rumors say that there are already a lot of money on the line.
Let's see how Bonomo, Dwan and others will do - already one bracelet has been won this year, Hoai Pham took down Event #1: $500 Casino Employees NL Hold'em for $71,424. To see all the tournaments that are currently running, go here.
