Chris Moneymaker (200:1)
Phil Helmuth (90:1)
Doyle Brunson (50:1)
Joe Cada (100:1)
Phil Ivey (50:1)
no value at all on Phil Helmuth... the best players know he is extremely predictable, and if he did manage to get to the final table he would be abused...
best value would be on long shots who don't have the name recognition of some of the more well known players...
Honestly, I would put them all at 99-1.

as you know, books make odds to get balanced action, and that wouldn't get balanced action... if you were trying to make true odds (without booking any action), i think making the favorites around 90:1 and the dogs no higher than 110:1, with more favs than dogs, would be about right...

Ice4Blood is back. You talk so much shit about covers and the MODS saying you will never post here agian.
Your cover is straight BLOWN. welcome back 1ce4blood
okkkk... and who will i be tomorrow?
Your ice4blood. I know for a fact you were comming soon, guandin, spanlish and eglish. That was confirmed by a very realiable source.
Your attempt to hide is just absurd and disgraceful. First off, don't get your accounts DELATED one after and another and do the exact same thing with each new account you open. You came to my post with with 4 differnet accounts and bashed me. Your account got delated each and every time.
Its very OBV that your ice4blood. It's very clear you guys have the exact same personality and TYPE THE EXACT SAME WAY.
welcome ice4blood. your cover is straight blown 
see, this is exactly why i think this was an interesting topic... that's a great question!
first off, i would have to ask... how do you determine the "top 100 poker players in the world"? is it based on tournament winnings? all earnings? consistent top finishes? public opinion?
beyond that, i think there are two ways to look at it...
1) obviously guys like Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson would be among the favorites... first, because they are popular public personalities, and second because they are at the highest skill level...
2) a smart oddsmaker would not skew the field very much from top to bottom... allow the public to load up on the favorites, because, when it comes down to it, everyone would have a fairly equal chance of winning the whole thing... not truly equal, but also not as skewed as most people would like to believe...
just my opinion... remember, you are going to have guys like Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan, Mike Matusow, Eric Seidel, Chris Hansen, Jesus Ferguson, Eric Lindgren, Johnny Chan, Patrick Antonius, Men the Master, etc.... it is a pretty deep field... there is very little separating the top 20-50 players... so it would come down to who gets the cards at the right time...
the only reason to skew the top few players is because of name recognition and public foolishness...
let's compare the typing. These are three different posts that you made. You don't ever use Captial letters in your sentences BESDIES when naming people. You always use short paragraphs and always seem to press the enter button. Another thing is you always end your sentencce is .....
First Post
for those interested in basketball analysis (i know... what site do i think i am on, right?)...
tonight's officials are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS favoring the home team in the playoffs... same crew that was assigned to Bos-Orl game 6 (leading Donaghy to suggest Orlando should get their golf clubs ready)... and also game 1 of this series (where Ray Allen and Tony Allen were hit with 5 fouls in the first 10 minutes of the game, leaving nobody to defend Kobe for the rest of the game)... both Pierce and Allen spent most of the game in foul trouble...
these refs have one job in the NBA... get the home team a win...
Cs are the better team, and i never bet ON the refs, and i rarely bet ON the inferior team... but i do stay away from any big bets when i know i am against them...
fair warning...
Another Post
i never said this series was over... YOU said the series was over after game 3, and that anyone who had money on Boston should buy out of their bet laying (-300) on the Lakers...
anybody who followed your advice had a gun to their head after game 5... whereas, anyone who followed my advice was able to cash out their bet at (-110) instead of (-300)... guaranteed profit...
since i was already up 13 units, i decided to ride my bets...
but unlike you, i have never said the series was over...
Last Post
Mods... pure and simple... i'm giving you 12 hours...
ultimatum time... get your shit together or i'm outta here... and while i know that is exactly what you want... some of your most respected cappers do not want me to leave, and are going to be really fucking pissed when they find out that i left because you guys failed to ban someone who obviously should have been banned about 10 death threats ago...

Mikey... to debrief you... someone suggested that debating things with no clear answer is pointless, and that responding to anyone's comments is therefore pointless...
i disagree, and i believe i showed one example (at the most extreme end of the spectrum) of why his statement was misguided... there are many other such examples, but i find it most useful to find the one that everyone can relate to...
philosophers in ancient Greece spent hundreds of years engaging in debates, specifically because there was no clear right or wrong answer... religions of the Far East base much of their enlightenment on the ability to ask questions that had no answers...
i believe it is a rather short-sighted statement to say that a debate is not worthwhile simply because the depth of thought required is too much for the brain to handle... in fact, many would say that those are the most worthwhile debates...
You want to have a welcome back party ice4blood?
Just go back to your old account since I blown your cover right off.
Your ice4blood. I know for a fact you were comming soon, guandin, spanlish and eglish. That was confirmed by a very realiable source.
whoa! quite a conspiracy theory... sounds like you need to get a more reliable source... especially if it's the same source that supplies you with all of your other information... you don't seem to have a high measure of accuracy with your proclamations...
honestly, i don't even know what you're talking about most of the time, but you have been saying i am different people since the first time you responded to one of my posts... i just figured it was one of your childish tactics for avoiding the real issues... but now i'm just starting to think you are a bit off the deep end...

Well for each for those 4 accounts were made by the same IP address. So you can say what you want from that. Read post 237, 239. You guys have the same personality, type the EXACT SAME WAY IN EVERY ASPECT and sory to say but there is nothing you can say to defend yourself.
Welcome back ice4blood
Honestly, I would put them all at 99-1.
So in your 50, if we took those 50 - and played a tournament - you could pick out the best 25?
And so on?
Im trying to establish if you think there are 50 players better than everyone else, and if so, how did you come up with that number? You think there is a difference between pro player #50 and #51? Or even pro player #10 and #90?
