Affleck Should Definitely Stick to Raising the Minimum Wage, According to
Internet Bookmakers Intertops.com
Antigua, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- At 1000/1 Ben Affleck may be
Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, but the odds-making team at
Intertops.com
do not think he is Vegas' most eligible WSOP winner, which starts at the
Binion's Horseshoe Hotel & Casino on May 22.
Texas Holdem Poker has soared to dizzying heights in popular
culture with the
introduction of online poker and televising of tournaments. It has also made
a
celebrity out of last year's winner, Chris Moneymaker, who came from nowhere
to beat the pros and take away a cool $2.5 million. Now everyone wants a
piece
of the poker action, including Hollywood stars such as Ben, his good buddy
Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. BUT do they need the money?
Perhaps the Binion's should organize a celebrity poker tournament and leave
the WSOP to the pros where they could really afford to up the ante!
"This is the first time Intertops.com has offered bets on the
WSOP. Poker
is headline news right now and our site intertops poker has been so
successful, we just knew that our customers would enjoy the opportunity to
bet
on the WSOP," said Intertops.com Chief Bet Manager Michael Maerz.
"Celebrities
always add an extra bonus to the action and players like Ben Affleck are
raising the profile of poker to cult status, even if he's not the best
player
in the world."
"Two lucky customers from Intertops Poker will also be
entering the
contest," he added, "and we have odds on 60 out of the estimated 1,400
players
in the contest and will make odds available on any other contestants on
request. It's your call!"
