A standard tournament book will give you the best chance.  A non standard book
may result in a win, but your odds are better with tournament book.  I'll put it
to you this way -- if you(anyone) were to receive $1000 for a win , $500 for a
draw and $ 0 for a loss - which book would most users use then?

They would use the standard tournament book - so there's your answer.
