Weekend's bets paid out. Anyone want to take Karate Kid over The A-Team? I'm not completely sure which one is going to win its OW, but I'm leaning towards The A-Team.

I, too, will bet $5 that The A-Team will outperform Karate Kid on its OW.

I'll put $5 on The A-Team to beat Karate Kid, and can I also put $5 on Killers to beat Splice?

Well, you've got to have someone to cover the other end for you... Unless UDM wants to take on more, he's got Buscemi's action (since he was first to post). Or, since we just started, we could just have a "bookie" and I'll set out odds each week. Does that sound better? Then we wouldn't have to match up one for one every week.

Hmm... You'd be out, I guess. We could make a three month league out of it and reset the bankrolls at the end.

Hey I have $5 on Splice, not $20.

Yeah, I think we'll just have to use a bookie... Let me know if there's something you want odds on and I'll do it. Gimme a few minutes and I'll have some odds up for the next 2-3 weeks.

You can still bet directly with someone if you come to an agreement with them, though. On anything...

How much?

Also I have three wagers up:

-Toy Story over/under $75 M 3-day (would be the biggest in Pixar History)
-Splice vs. Killers
-A-Team vs. Karate Kid.

Always open for suggestions and may add more later.

Also, I have updated the accepted wagers, let me know if I screwed anything up.

I bet all my money on Toy Story having over 75M 3-day.

I'm not good with numbers... Did I make that one way too easy? I figured $5 M over the highest opening ever for a Pixar film would be good? Should I raise it to $90 M or something?

No!

I bet $10 that Toy Story 3 will open over $75 million in its first three days.
