Obviously, because of the juice, I doubt there is much value when you add in the fact that you have to tie up your money for so long... Male -1500 stood out of me... but that probably means it the wrong side... I'm thinking rest of the world +250 might be "the best on worst" actually...

Disregarding the terrible juice my picks would be

31-35 3/1
two pair 8/5
male -1500
rest of the world +250

That juice is absurd. Can BoDog really get away with that? Ok fine, so the Male/Female bet offers reasonable juice, only about 2.76%, but 7.89% on US versus the rest of the world? And if that weren't bad enough, 39.74% on the age bet?? And 48.58% on the winning hand bet???

You'd be better off parlaying Roulette and Keno.

I think the odds on Bodog dealing a -140/-140 line is -200, lol.

If some book decides to offer matchup "last longer" props there may be some opportunities, but the list of wagers in this thread isn't interesting enough to make me want to tie up money.

For what it's worth, all my experience in heads-up situations teaches me that most heads-up winning hands are either high card or one pair. Since the last hand of the tourney will be mano-a-mano, I think any other choice for winning hand would be a mistake.

LOL, Royal Flush.
LOL, 4ofaK.

What are the odds of even hitting such a hand? Marginally (LOL again) worse than those odds i'd say.

I am not even sure if one was hit in the entire tournament last year let alone one being the final hand.

I know there were a few straight flushes last year though.
