PaddyPower.com Launches First Betting Markets for WSOP 2007

PaddyPower.com has today announced details of betting on the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2007 Main Event. The first markets to go live are �number of entrants� and �to make final table.�

Since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed in the US earlier this year, speculation on how it will affect numbers at this year's WSOP has been frenzied. Many poker companies have pulled out of the US market, and with over half the 2006 Main Event field believed to have been online qualifiers, this could have a drastic impact on the field.

WSOP owners Harrah's are not accepting third party registrations in 2007, and it is widely felt that the record 8,773 players who battled it out for a prize pool of over $87 million last year may not be bettered in 2007.

A full rundown of current odds offered on the official number of players in the WSOP 2007 Main Event are available at PaddyPower.com.

Next year's WSOP kicks of on June 1 2007 in Las Vegas, with the final table of the $10,000 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold'em World Championship beginning July 17.
