Secrets of the Amateurs

Just for fun, as it's not really going to tell us that much about ME expectation, I've picked out 30 2+2ers/Internet players, and let's see how they do in the Main Event. Of course the damn thing has already started, but I haven't checked the sweat threads on 2+2 and while I suspect a couple of these guys are out, it's close enough for now. In no particular order :

Bond18, uclabruinz, Fatal Error, colson10, Shaniac, MrTimCaum, Jurullo, amak316, ansky, LearnedFromTV, Thayer, Shaun Deeb, Adanthar, ckingusc, JP OSU, Gobboboy, psyduck, fxlexcduck, George Lind, mastr, Cornell Fiji, mlagoo, MaverickUSC, Todd Terry, nath, djk123, lilholdem, SCTrojans, Moorman1, allinstevie.

According to many peoples' estimates of main event EV, these 30 players should expect to return at least $900K in prize money ; I personally am taking the under. I really should have done this before the start, but I was too busy sulking.

Someone who did place his bets ante-post is Terrence Chan, who picked a bunch of players and bet that they wouldn't cash. I wish I had thought of that. Not only can we have a good look how these players turned out, a lot of those bets look like great value in hindsight.
