Didn't realize they changed the winner's share. Used to be one of the big draws for the "superstars" that the winner gets 40%. That definitely favored the strong experienced players that know how to win at final tables. This probably irks the big names, but makes for a much better draw and tournament for the amateurs.

While still way too low to be worth betting, at least Pinnacle's lines give you some shot at making a score if you actually get lucky enough to call the winner.

I don't know if BoDog should be commended, or condemned but if they can actually get people to bet their lines, they must be doing something right.

Phil Ivey 12/1 at Bodog, 200/1 at Pinnacle.
Howard Lederer 15/1 vs. 200/1
etc.

Good Luck,
Bart

Intertops' WSOP odds are also a joke. What's even more amusing, their latest spam contained the blurb:

"For the first time at Intertops.com you can check out our unbeatable odds on the World Series of Poker 2004."

IMO, anyone who bets on the WSOP at Bodog, Intertops, or any other ripoff shop deserves to lose money.
