Odds for Joss Tour Finale

[mapman72]

I posted this yesterday under a different thread and I just don't think enough people saw it. Check this out and feel free to make edits or updates.

Just for fun, I thought that I would just take a shot at laying the odds for the field. Keep in mind that this is just for fun and I really don't know too much about most of the players in the tournament, but I'm curious to see what the rest of you think about the odds. If I didn't add odds to a player it's because I either had no idea who it was or, I didn't feel like I knew enough about their abilities to assign odds. Please, feel free to edit the odds board and add more odds for people that I left off. I know there's a ton of good players that I don't know and couldn't assign odds to so help me out.

By the way, with those odds, I think I'd have to take a chance with a dark horse. Anyone in the 15-1 range is capable of pulling off the upset, so why not take a chance with them instead of getting your 5-2 with Bustie?

OK, I'll chime in.

The one glaring thing that stuck out to me was that Steve Tavernier has better odds of winning than Earl Strickland. I know Steve won the last tournament there but I would have to take Earl with those odds.

30. Davis, Mike 8-1
79. McCready, Keith 8-1
80. McCreesh, Ryan 7-1
104. Ryan, Joey 99-1
107. Slivka, Jerry 9-1

I just got a call from Ryan McCreesh who is diligently trying to log in, so he can enjoy the AzBilliards Discussion Forum, but he forgot his password. [Hi, Ryan! ]

Funny thing, last night Davis, Joey Ryan, and McCready were playing in a local tournament at Orange Ball in Rockville, MD. It was Joey Ryan and Mike Davis who got to the finals! I don't think I'd put Joey Ryan at 99 to 1!

Anyone know what happned to Marlon Manalo? His name is mentioned in the Turning Stone Casino web site as signed up. His odds would have to be pretty good!
