This weekend celebrities and poker professionals will be duking it out in the World Poker Tour’s Legends of Poker Tournament, and sportsbook.com will be taking bets on the winner of the event.
With odds ranging from 66-1 for Phil Ivy to win the event to 400-1 for celebrities like Ben Affleck, Jennifer Tilly and Toby Maguire, the professionals continue to be favored, but certain celebrities aren’t that far behind. Worth noting, the infamous Chris Moneymaker is currently sitting at 400-1 along with the afformentioned stars.
“The growth of Poker in the United States has been phenomenal, to the point that it no longer surprises fans to see celebrities from film get involved in these events,” says Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director, Sportsbook.com. “Obviously, few people expect the movie stars to actually win a tournament like this, but it would be very exciting to see someone like Affleck at the final table playing the likes of Gus Hansen.”
