Variance: Betting on the death of famous movie stars - Page 4

Betting on someones death and cat gifs are making thread good, albeit it is maybe to much for people without personality disorder. Why have russian cats always so weird big heads?

I think it's just people not wanting to be reminded about their own mortality.

Always good conversation disrupt, especially women don't like to talk about it.
What is wrong with death if you are buddhist and you know that ego is false concept? But it is not enabling you to have sex with mentioned women, so I am not after my 40' pinpointing that so often.

Depends on the age. I remember my Grandma arguing with her friends about the quality of the two local newspapers on the basis of the number of death notices in them lol.

Craven, but consensus is Craven < Sharif. Horner current front runner, might depend on if Dion can come to the Oscar's though.

Morphinismus, are your opening thread skills someway related to your social skills?
Asking only as big fan of dead people.

...do you mean thread starting skills? There's zero skill involved in opening a thread, unless maybe if you have to control the mouse with your toes.

Regarding this here thread, I'm having a blast!

Yes, death is not popular among EV oriented poker players. I think it is because they know bankroll management but not life management.

Yeah they should consider themselves lucky if someone puts a bet on their deaths someday.

Also RIP Wexler.

5x Oscar nominee with 2 wins, worked with last years winner Nichols. Strong contender?

The field seems like a tougher bet than it did in August.

Wexler has a chance.

I still like the field but obviously there's no sure thing since the thread started.

Alan Rickman is an interesting wildcard now but they don't usually go non-US.

With Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet likely both being nominated AND if Celine Dion is booked to perform then there's a very strong chance it will be James Horner. What a weird but nice tie-in/tribute to James Horner that would be.

Don't think Rickman has a chance. And that would be a nice thing for Horner; I think he deserves it.

odds now 1.2 - 6 - 9 btw

What about other Oscar Night bets? I currently have €17.55 on the site. What to invest on? Parleys possible? Thoughts?

BTW I intend to make this a rail thread on Oscar's Night, everyone is invited!

Save the date!
