someone on here might have laid 2100 to win 1000 on bieber...dear god

i sincerely hope not, if they did and want to follow a real bet and they can go to the mma forum

Yeah, with Dr Dre. It was good

Where were all these people before the award was given out? You guys look 100x worse than the OP ever could.

I looked into betting the Grammy's as well because... well it was a weak card and if money could be made, I will always look into it.

So I deferred my opinion to the people who watch this crap every year. All insisted that Esperanza chick was just filler. An old school pro wrestling jobber. The Washington Generals. NO chance to win.

90% predicted Bieber would win. 9% thought outside of the box and said either Florence/Mumford. 1% said Drake (2nd favorite in actual betting odds). Esperanza was a longshot for a reason.

You could always hedge. I'm not saying Bieber won't win, he still very well could, I don't know much more about this stuff than you do I just go by what the research tells me. I'm also playing Need You Now by Lady Antebellum for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year. If they win one of these im positive units being plus money in both. BOL.

very nice

DrStale · 02-13-11, 11:06 PM

Thank you sir, profitable night.

VegasInsider · 02-13-11, 11:10 PM

Who take the big award? Eminem won Rap and is the massive favorite...but there usually isn't a surprise winner in the final category

Illusion · 02-13-11, 11:13 PM

What's the differnce between record of the year and album of the year? Not sure why they have 2 awards for what seems to be the same thing.

VegasInsider · 02-13-11, 11:14 PM

Yeah, I never understood that either. I think they might be judged on different criteria like behind the scenes people.

Album of the Year is the biggest award they give out, right? I think that's the one Recovery is the heavy favorite for.

VegasInsider · 02-13-11, 11:15 PM

Nevermind...this is from Wiki

Many wonder what the difference is between Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. So, in this context, "record" means one song and "album" means the whole collection of songs on a CD or LP. In essence, "record" really just means single.

Record of the year is for one song. Album is for the entire album.

Thanks for the clearification.

It looks like Lady Antebellum will clean up album of the year as well. I'm not saying it's a lock though,lol.

brooks85 · 02-13-11, 11:23 PM

haha only adds to comedy

VegasInsider · 02-13-11, 11:23 PM

Good for them, seem like some good guys. Hope no one pounded Eminem

The Seer · 02-13-11, 11:23 PM

Download Funeral and listen from front to back, probably the best album of the last 15 years.

playersonly69 · 02-13-11, 11:26 PM

I am shocked!

DrStale · 02-13-11, 11:29 PM

Wow, probably would have hit Eminem for album of the year if the line had been any lower, dodged a bullet there.

Illusion · 02-13-11, 11:31 PM

Muscians won tonight!!! Not those wannabe record spinners. What a great night.

I'm not surprised they won, but I surprised it was this year. With all the media hype over Eminem and how well his new album was received, I thought it all him.

But yes, Funeral is one of the Top 5 albums I've ever listened to. They are unbelievable and def got robbed back in 95 (I think?)

tofuman · 02-13-11, 11:38 PM

haha bieber loss.
newb, there is no such thing as a lock in gambling.

AribaAriba · 02-13-11, 11:40 PM

The band is a noise to my ears especially the last one. I think people there cant just wait they finish playing. Grammy is a joke and always been btw lol

VegasInsider · 02-13-11, 11:40 PM

I bet he's crying himself to sleep right now in the limo

WeinketoWarrick · 02-14-11, 12:06 AM

talnted · 02-14-11, 12:14 AM

mr. leisure · 02-14-11, 12:15 AM

breathmints · 02-14-11, 01:29 AM

i just saw it i think on reruns...i had a small play on it.. damn i heard on abc news bieber wasnt going to win too cuz jona brother lost for best new artist 2 years back... that is grammys for ya

Glitch · 02-14-11, 01:35 AM

yeah i think us first-time bieber supporters were thinking of it more like them saying who the most popular new artist was or who had the most fans or made the most money. we sorta forgot it was real people involved in music annointing musicians. whoops. uhhh next year.

Art Vandeleigh · 02-14-11, 04:04 AM

Omg the books that do these awards things seriously must have just vacuumed up a decade's worth of cash.

Maybe that's why the Oscars have 10 best picture nominees now. More options for the public to bet on.

beermankirk · 02-14-11, 04:24 AM

well there's always next years mtv awards...
