Can you guess the number of runners in the WSOP Main Event?

I noticed that PartyBets.com have put up their prices for the number of runners in the WSOP Main Event and thought it was about time to unleash another competition on you.

Here are PartyBets.com prices:

Where do I stand? When I bet I am someone who looks for value so looking at the PartyBets prices I have to go with 4000 or less at 5.00 (4/1) – as for a precise number I will go for 3999. I think 4/1 (5.00) is too big considering everything that is going on in poker at the moment. I think the odds setters have got it about right overall with the likely range being between 4001 – 4999 but I’m where the value is.

Remember I am looking for the total number from you. I don’t need to know which of the prices you would bet on. Good luck!
