2/27 Academy Awards Best Picture 8pm

good shit. i'm in a contest also. if i guess all 24 picks right, i get $100,000. no joke!
 
I think that the Social Network will win, but think either the Fighter or Inception deserves it more.
Whatever the flavour of the day is in Hollywood though right?
 
there have been some really incredible upsets the past few years. I can remember when Crash shocked everyone and won it a few years back. I would bet my money personally on one of the underdogs to shock everyone, heck you are getting like 20 to 1 odds!
 
This is a tough one...I know in years past I think I've guessed it and bam...wrongo! hmmm....gonna be interesting.
 
if it says 100/1.. it means they are underdawgs for every 1 you bet you get 100 back profit.

if it says 1/100.. it means that is strongly favored and for every 100 you get back 1 profit

Thanks! :) I'm having fun so it's all good! You're back in the red again stevesmi? :(

lol..I had my first loss last night! Rotten Montreal for the win! :evil: Vancouver should have won it! It's a good thing you didn't have the Oilers game up last night. Even though they're my team, I'd have bet against them...and I'd have won! ;)

I haven't seen it but still think you're right.

I also wouldn't bet 100,000 to win 200.

thats why I gave 20 and 25 to 1 odds on some of the other movies. and considering the oscars have had plenty of upsets the past few years if one of you hits on the underdawgs I would be crippled for a long time.
 
The 83rd Oscars 2011: Best Picture Odds
The Social Network +100
The King's Speech -500
The Fighter +2000
Toy Story 3 +5000
Black Swan +2500
Inception +2000
127 Hours +5000
True Grit +2000
The Kids Are All Right +4000
Winter’s Bone +2500

The best way to explain the money line is to show an example of it in action, so we'll make up a hypothetical baseball game between the Cubs and the Dodgers. When looking at the odds for the game, the bettor will see something like:


Chicago Cubs +120
Los Angeles Dodgers -130


In this instance, the Dodgers are the favored team, as signified by the - (minus) written in front of the 130, while the Cubs are the underdogs, as designated by the + (plus) in front of the 120.


What these numbers mean is that those wishing to bet on the favorite, the Dodgers, will have to risk $130 to win $100, while those wanting to wager on the underdog, the Cubs, will risk $100 to win $120.


It's important to remember that even though money lines are expressed in units of $100, you do not have to bet that much money. The money line will work just as easily with a $5 or $10 wager as it does with a $100 bet.

A night at the movies is getting pretty expensive. For my son and I to go, if we get a popcorn and drink combo, is just about $60 bucks. We don't have the cheap theatres anymore either...renting has become a pretty good option!
