Movie wagering - Anyone here into it?

Wsex seems to be the only site that posts the lines. Anyone else wager the box office?

Occasionally Olympic and Intertops will offer lines but that's about it.

the only downside is the lines are not posted at consistant times. 1 week they will come out thursday evening, the next they will appear friday morning at 7am only allowing you a few hours to get your wager in. lines close at 10am est. if anyone is interested i'll post some picks weekly based on wsex lines. i am on a nice little run that was cut short last week with running scared. 5-1 the previous 6 weeks.

Weekend 3/3-3/5 16 Blocks - 16.5 mil over -170 under +130 Pass Ultraviolet - 11 mil over +110 under -130 Pass This weeks numbers were too close to where I have them forecasted to wager. Next week however should be a profitable one. I'll post again thursady night, depending on where the total comes out I think we should have a nice over play.

You didn't see Dave Chappelle's Block Party 13.5 mil Over -115 Under -115 at Olympic? This one was sweet.

i need to check out the numbers at olympic next weekend - i thought wsex was the only book that offered movies

critical i hope you hit that under - block party only made 2.7 on friday, no way it gets to 13.5 i would guess closer to 7.5 mil

March 10-12 Shaggy Dog $21 Mil Over 10 Units Disney movies have been cleaning up. The screen count is unusually high at over 3500. The competition for the family tickets is growing stale with 8 Below and Pink Panther having been out for several weeks. Tim Allen has an appeal to the home improvement fans and the baby boomers that saw the original shaggy dog. I was hoping the number wouldn't be above 23, glad to see the total set at 21. I expect a gross close to 25. I need this one after the Broke back upset last week. ||peace.gif' border=0>

Moving this to the props/futures forum, can probably keep this thread at the top until forever.

Shouldn't this be an "other" ? Box Office is a weekly wager. Doesn't seem to fit into "prop" category. It's an over under / total bet.

i see it as a prop, and also a future sort of... whereas in the "other" category you have the total or side of an NBL game happening that day (or the next time they play) for example. actually who knows, because I see how you can compare this bet to betting a total on a sporting event. Regardless, the "other" forum seems to be better suited to "other sports" or "aussie sports" ||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

shaggy = ||an_burningbag.gif' border=0> I have been out of town, small play on V for Vendetta, 2 units under $32 mil.

Interesting thread.

3/31 Ice Age $55 mil Basic Instinct 2 $6.5 mil I like the over in Ice Age but the juice was a little high so I laid off. I am projecting something in the low 60 range. Basic Instinct is a tough call. I would expect closer to 8 mil on any other weekend but there is alot of competition this weekend. The marketing has been pretty weak and not as many people want to see sharon stones snatch as 10 years ago. I would guess closer to 5.5 or 6.

The Greek had o/u $56 million with o at (-125) and u (-105). Will be tight, could be a blowout. IA2 needs to make at least $18m tonight to have a shot. Any less and it'll go under. Good luck fella! ||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>

wow 70.5 for ice2 3.2 for basic2

Hmmm. WSEX has some pretty sharp linemakers with heavy juice set at (-200) or worse for both winning lines. Almost too brutal.

what are the lines for the movies this weekend 5-5-06? Mission Impossible III comes out and i'm curious what the lines is set at....

Mission Impossible III comes out and i'm curious what the lines is set at.... Definately good question... Interesting to see how Tom Cruise's recent personal shannigans will effect his ability to draw a crowd to an overplayed, overdone action movie.

I think this movie will do fantastic despite the recent "insanity" of Tom Cruise. People love high-quality action and that is exactly what MI:III brings to the table. I am a fan of most of Cruise's work and I really enjoyed the previous two films in this series. I expect the public to flock to this film like "flies on honey" !!!! ||peace.gif' border=0>
