It’s All About the Numbers
Interestingly, the numbers for the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. have been very consistent in its short history. The inaugural event attracted 143 players in 2006. That increased to 148 in 2007, before the same number fronted up in 2008.
This year has been an interesting one for prop betting on the size of fields. Tough economic times have seen a marginal decrease in numbers across most events, but does the state of the economy really have much effect on guys with this kind of bankroll?
You’d expect the number to decrease from last year's number, and the question is by how much? At the moment, we have around a dozen tables in action which suggests we’ll be somewhere around the 100 player mark. However, we're only at 70 registrations.
