    Controversy!

    I love it!

    Books just know what the times are at the rehearsal. No real surprise they are right on the money!

    Not gonna lie, the video certainly shows the over hitting, but I clocked it live and had 1:52, my friend who had the over clocked it at 1:53. No explanation here.

    I lost big on this at Bodog. They judged it as UNDER.

    I want to hear about it if people are getting this as an OVER winner anywhere. The line at Bodog was -200 when I bet it.

    And if that dumbass wouldn't have skipped a line, it would have won easy.

    Looking at the reply it seemed like 1:53 but then she gave a final "woo-ooo"...was that part of the song? Or did it end with "thank you"...is that part of the song?

    Wording was "final note" of the song if I remember correctly. So def not for the "thank you". I am going to say yes on the "woo-ooo". I had the over though.

    Dumbass singer missed a line...

    there's going to be a lot of people pissed and some happy. the total was 1:54 at most of my books and i swear, my nephew was sitting right next to me with his blackberry.. i asked him if he had a stopwatch, he said it has one. i told him GO the second she started, and yelled.. STOP.. the second she stopped. and you know what it read.. It read EXACTLY 1:54 to the second.. right on the #..

    at that exact moment, i knew we were going to run into some serious problems with books.

    Go to Yahoo's front page. Click on the story about Aguleira messing up the words and watch the video. It is 1:53 there, but it looks like they may have started it a smidge early.

    I guess I should write to Bodog? This is a 3K swing for me

    I guess the longer I wait, the more likely they are to not want to reverse the grading.

    I hate it when a singer tries to makr the National Anthem their own "look at me moment" Just sing it with class and dignity...and oh yea, try and remember the words...also, why do they force a rap half time on 98% of Americans who can't stand rap?

    youtube re-encodes the file and changes the Frames per second. I guess that could speed up or slow down the actual time.

    I could go either way on that. I mean she was still singing, and she wasn't starting up another song.

    On this video it went over for sure.

    Bookmaker is saying it went 1:54.2

    Bodog is saying it went 1:53.03

    WTF?

    5dimes changed there rules for this bet also at first it said (Christina Aguilera sings Star Spangled Banner, from when first note is started until final note is completed) which the "woohoo" as said earlier would count then when they regraded this they added this rule to the wager (addition: any grunt or noise made after the "brave" is not conisdered part of the Anthem)

    How can they change the rules on a wager?

    I'm sure 5Dimes had more wagers on the over than under and changed the rules to let the house win.

    Betting on the anthem isn't worth it, too many ways for the books to screw you on the timing.
