The Chess belt is up for grabs in a couple weeks as defending champ Viswanathan Anand defends against Norwegian 22 yr. old wonder kid and the worlds #1 ranked player, Magnus Carlsen.

Yesterday, at pinnacle, Carlsen was listed as the -400 favorite, and today he's down to -260. Curious as to what size bets they are taking on this, and what prompted the sudden odds drop (was the line that bad?). Is this one of those novelty offerings with a few hundred max before adjustments, or are they taking 1k+ bets on this? -
