WPO odds released
Internet sportsbook Bodog, which also operates a poker site, has published odds on the upcoming main event at the Jack Binion World Poker Open. According to the site:
Personally, Daniel Negreanu has to prove something to me before I would list him as a favorite at any event. I know, I know ... He's the player of the year, many times over, for 2004. But I'm not saying he isn't a good player or belitting his accomplishments over the past year. However, I can't help but think back to his own statement about winning the Five Diamond Classic and, with it, the Cardplayer Player of the Year Award, shortly after losing the lead to David Pham: "I am not my best unless it is a high pressure situation and there is a lot riding on the outcome." Basically, he was saying that, after leading the points race most of the year, he was bored and just didn't have the incentive to play his best. Well, after that win and clinching the award, I just can't see him showing up in Tunica hungry for a win. He certainly has the skill to prove me wrong, but I have to see it to believe it.
