Shouldn't there be a field bet for odds to win ?

There's too many players to put up a field bet. The field would be a huge favourite.

Keep in mind the chip leader after all three "Day 1's" will have at most 200,000 chips. They will need around 56 million to win it all. That means the leader has less than 1/2 of 1% of the chips after the first day.

That being said, its not mathematically optimal to take any of these players at the revised short odds.

Ken Lennaard criticizes in his column current playing system. Last year 8 out of 9 final table players had day off and it might be that Saturday players might suffer about this system again. So, if you are betting any kind of props, forget those who don't have day or two off.
