Gambling is bad and doesn't happen

Gambling is very bad for the game. I think it is wonderful that all of us tournament players only come for the love of the game and you rarely see any wagers, chouettes, or gambling of any kind.
However, it is interesting to see the odds, and if there were gambling at the Texas Championships, I saw a guy who placed odds on the players and they looked like this (Stick asked if I would post this because he felt that even though none of us gamble some would find it interesting).
