I have revenant as best picture as a parlay kicker in a few pars.....I see the line was hindenburging a bit there for a minute but is still around -250....

would you guys hedge with "the field" at 2-1?...will reduce the profit some but guarantee a winning night...

revenant was +400 and now favored :scared

seems to have the momentum. the oddsmakers are not giving away free money

The key question for bettors is can you predict the winner of these prestigious awards by looking at other results? Three influential awards ceremonies ? the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Golden Globes and the Critics? Choice ? have already handed out prizes for these categories, this season.
How reliable are these as predictors for Oscar glory? The table below highlights the 2015 winners for the four categories at these three award ceremonies.

I touched it in one par at -290...then it dropped and was sitting at -250.....so I hit it again with cruz wins texas(-350) and Arnold allen in the ufc....

I wasn`t aware it was that big a dog......

a little too much fluctuation for me...going the safe route...

at heritage it was on 2/8. this was before golden globes


Well that was a line error, because at 34 other Sportsbooks around the world it never went above +175. But I will lift your ban because I am a nice individual.

I've seen it and liked it but I highly doubt it is really the best picture, the cinetagraphy yes, the arduous task of making the film eclipses all others

but sentimentality rules sometimes

look at Crash and The Two Towers winning, that was bullshit

I kinda hope it wins because it`s not another arthouse flick....I think most of us "unsophisticates" would rather see actual movies that the little people watch nominated...

best summary of the Revenant is "B-movie with A-class production." someone wrote that on rotten tomatoes

basically man vs himself vs nature

the original script was the shit, but innarrittu changed it, he blended dances with wolves in it, fuck that half breed son bullshit

you can find that draft online, worth a read

I actually thought that "saw 6" was a much more introspective,multi-layered,technical adaption that actually blew away the already high standard of the previous saw offerings.....
