    Default Anyone see any lines yet for The Dark Knight opening weekend?

    Cant find one up anywhere yet but i wana see where the line will be. Im thinking this is going to be the biggest movie of the summer with alot of geeks going to see it over and over.

    Plus read online that the presale tickets( mostly for IMAX) are about 8X ahead of what they were at this point for Spider-Man3. Thinking there gonna have a huge opening, so if someone sees a line please let me know. Thanks

    They actually have lines on how much a movie will gross? Is it just the opening weekend or overall?

    They usually have a line on the total number the film will do opening week. IF its not crazy high id like to take the over

    Are we talking about betting or the lines getting into the movie?

    Betting. How have you guys never heard of this? They set it just like a game total. Mostly done only with big movies. They will set a total say 100Mill opening weekend and you bet over or under.

    Greek usually has them up as soon as anyone... I know all the Midnight shows here are sold out already... Went to see Wall-E with the kids last week and people were in line ahead of us trying to buy tickets for the Midnight shows...

    If I were to give a degenerate an edge I would say It's gonna gross more than 80 since its heath's last movie ever people are gonna be interested etc.

    SMALL EDGE DEGENERATE PLAY

    OVER 80 MILL

    it will gross over 100Mill easily. This movie will be a huge IMAX hit which is about 3-4 bucks more than regular tickets.

    Wow ... 62.36% juice.

    That's a good bit worse than most state lotteries.

    Wait for the DVD. Use the movie money on Yankees not making the playoffs and collect in three months.

    Default Anything else besides Bookmaker?

    I have already searched most of the major sites like TheGreek to no avail and it is really weird because these are sites which have done this type of thing before.

    Any advice here would be hugely appreciated. (And judging betting on this as any more foolish than betting on a sporting event feels like the pot calling the kettle black and then some! )

    Bet Online had an over/under millions on opening weekend and "Will it be the highest grossing movie of 08" prop up, cant find it now though

  21. #21

    Default Thanks for the reply

    I checked and yep, nothing there. So that still leaves Bookmaker as the only book with lines. If someone can find me another book that has an over/under that is actually up I would be willing to send you 20 bucks via Paypal for the effort! (sorry to try and bribe but I really want to bet on this)
