    The guys at Paradise have once again shown a lot of love for our community.

    They're hosting a $3500 freeroll for all Ranked Players and Players to Watch. This will be a winner-take-all event to crown a champion among the best online. The $3500 will be paid out in entries into all of the Masters Main Events.

    And, perhaps best of all, Sportsbook.com will be posting odds on each player in the event! You'll be able to place wagers on your favorite players or the ones you feel are most likely to win. I think this will be a lot of fun for all of us.

    If you are a ranked player/player to watch and didn't receive the email I sent this afternoon, please email me at cal@pocketfives.com and i'll send you all the info you need.

    The freeroll tourney will be Saturday, April 1st, at 1 PM ET (right before the first Masters Event).

    Good luck to everyone playing and wagering!

    I'm in it to win it.

    Cal, I forgot to mention this in my email to you guys saying I'm playing, but if you could talk to the sportsbook side and ask them to have "show" odds, like in horseracing. You can make it top 3 or even final table, and just slice up the win odds appropriatly. This would probably generate more action on the betting side.

    any timeline on when the line will be up? This is such a win win for them, I bet they handle about 30k on the book at least.

    I have my picks. I am guessing you will be one of the worst values. I wish I could short you Bax and NSXT2. Not that you all aren't great players.

    Sounds like some fun betting, especially if they have a "show" category or final table category.

    Gotta love betting on gamblers. Maybe next sportsbook will allow us to bet on people who bet on horse racing.

    They won't post the odds for a bit while they wait for players to confirm whether or not they are playing.

    it will be interesting to see what the lowest odds are given say a 100 person field.
