It looks like Jose Canseco is turning to the poker tables in hopes of turning around his recent financial troubles. Knowing Jose, and knowing the way Jose plays poker, I’m willing to bet that Canseco has a better chance of pounding out 10 more books than making any money playing cards. The oddsmakers agree.

The folks at BoDog, who will set a line on anything, have posted odds on which celebrity will win the most money at the July 3, 2008 WSOP event.

Shannon Elizabeth 5/1
Yevgeny Kafelnikov 5/1
Jennifer Tilly 5/1
James Woods 5/1
Montel Williams 13/2
Ben Affleck 9/1
Boris Becker 9/1
Don Cheadle 9/1
Norm MacDonald 9/1
Jason Alexander 14/1
Sully Erna 14/1
Brad Garrett 14/1
Tobey Maguire 14/1
Ray Romano 14/1
Hank Azaria 30/1
Jose Canseco 30/1
Penn Gillette 30/1
Lennox Lewis 30/1

Every person on this list should be banned from poker for life if they can’t last longer than Jose Canseco.. Although with all the ticks and twitches, picking out Jose’s tells has to be impossible.
