With the November Nine FINALLY coming up soon, we’re ready to go with more coverage, news and whatnot. It seemed like it was so far away, and now it’s almost here. It’s like Christmas… gambling Christmas.
If you didn’t make the final table, and I’m assuming you didn’t, there’s no need to feel left out.
You can still make cash on the final table with a little bit of online wagering. Put your money where your picks are and look at the futures list for the winner of the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
These are futures wagers, where you’re picking the winner. It’s not a horse race, so you can’t just bet to show. Pick the first place horse poker player.

WSOP 1st Place Finish**:
- Darvin Moon +200
- Eric Buchman +300
- Steven Begleiter +500
- Jeff Shulman +500
- Joe Cada +900
- Phil Ivey +325
- Kevin Schaffel +900
- Antonie Saout +1200
- James Akenhead +1200
It looks like a lot of the public money is pouring in on Ivey, so that’s why the profitability is so low on a guy that’s 7th in chips. Sure he’s good, but his name is even better.
When looking at value, I like Shulman at +500. His family’s been hot lately, and this could be a winning wager. But what do I know?
** For those of you who don’t know, this is how the wagering works: Think of these numbers as being based on $100 Wagers. For example, if you bet $100 on Joe Cada to win, you’d win $900; $100 on Ivey to win it all, $325 in winnings.

My money is going on Shulman. That family is destined to rule the poker world this year…
