Tilly Expected to Outduel Affleck and Maguire for Poker Glory

The odds are in for the best bets to take the World Series of Poker Championship Bracelet. With up to 8000 entrants, the best odds are on high-profile stars Phil Ivey (150-1) and Canadian Daniel Negreanu (225-1). The bookmakers are a little less kind to celebrities.

According to odds makers at Sportsbook.com, the world's largest online sportsbook and casino, celebrities Ben Affleck and Toby Maguire will not have what it takes to leave the World Series of Poker Championships with a bracelet. The Hollywood hunks are each a 2000-1 bet to rake in all the chips.

I would have thought that Affleck would be the longer shot. Bluffing is a form of acting, and having seen Pearl Harbor, Paycheck and Gigli, I would have guessed that Affleck's limited skill in that regard would leave him with a "tell" or two. Like vomiting on himself when he hits a full-house. At least former Academy Award nominee and accomplished player Jennifer Tilly is a good bet at 33-1 to be the top female finisher.
