    Grammy Wagering

    So I go to my go to person when it comes to all things pop culture, my wife, the Queen of all things pop culture and I ask her, "Who's scoring the hardware?"

    Without hesitation she tells me "Sam Smith is going to sweep"
    So I go to 5D, check the odds, and Smith is prohibitive, odds on, point blank favorite to win everything but Album of the Year.

    I say to her, "you know Beyonce is 4:1 fave to win that, is her album all that?"
    She says no it isn't.

    So, just for shits and giggles I threw a tiny little bit on Smith to sweep all, at 7:1.
    If he beats Beyonce, the rest is easy.

    I don't know who won what

    I tuned in and there was some awful music so I turned it off right away

    I turned to a live blog instead, hoping they'd tell me who was winning what

    I have some dumb bets. Under 3 on Smith awards, which has zero chance, and no on Smith sweeping.

    Instead, I get this:


    http://www.nytimes.com/live/grammys-2015-live-blog/

    Jon Caramanica

    Mary J. Blige being exceedingly polite not blowing Sam Smith

    steve, those 5D odds were terrible, too

    instead of betting beyonce -400, they had field over smith at -300

    the whole thing was out of whack. If Beyonce is -400, Smith can't be +220

    Nasher, Did you turn a profit on those Smith Bets? Guy won a few grammy's. i think 4 thanks to his boyfriend leaving him last year.

    I wonder if they had a prop on how many times people would raise their hands for "don't shoot" last night.

    i hit him at +860 bookmaker for a tiny wager kicking myself..

    and no Beyonce at +550 sportbet went a bit crazy on here for a few minutes before the show (so you got field).

    however went against Sam Smith in song and record on some decent prices shopping around however. so Blah despite the great odds on my man Beck.

    Should have had odds on whether or not Kanye West would make an ass out of himself.
