Slumdog was not that good. I don't get the hype.

I agree, I saw slumdog after Gran Torino and The Wrestler and found nothing special about it.

If the leaked results are right, a $500 bet (option at 10) on Amy Adams would win you $4500 (assuming someone wants to take it)

You know what they say: if it's a guarantee, you're gonna get your front teeth kicked in. (Actually, they don't say that; it's just me.)

Supposedly it's a 4chan hoax. But interesting nonetheless, I had never looked into Oscar betting before.

You think they'll let me cancel my bet on Amy Adams? I need that money for the rent.

You should have bought rather then rented. Then you wouldn't have to pay.

I wonder what I would do if I work for an audit firm whose job is to tally the results and keep them secret. I mean, you're not exactly violating insider trading rules, and the only people you hurt are the degenerate net gamblers, and online bookies--nobody likes them anyway. If you work your cards right, you could make a lot of money--probably enough to make the risk of getting fired worthwhile.
