    I recommend you watch this trailer for the book. Should tell you everything you need to know.

    Unfortunately not. What I would suggest is to send a group PM to those you wish to include.

    Grammy 2014 plays:

    My grammy predictions are nowhere near as good as my movie predictions, so tail at your own risk.

    Taylor Swift, Best Album +625 DSI 1u

    Will have more later, hoping for some line movement.

    She's close to a lock, but if you're going to pay the juice at this point, I think Leto is a bigger lock at a smaller price.

    He might let you pound him, too.

    nunya i just want to thank you for being a pillar of the community. I won a nice bit on your last awards show. Cant say I spent it on the kids like Punisher. But it is still a feel good story. I spent the money on a hooker from craiglist.

    I can honestly say I've never bet on an awards show before though I am tempted. Song of the year looks like the best play here unless I am missing something

    Grammys are tough to predict and big dogs come in all the time. Esperanza Spalding won for best new artist a few years ago at something like 25-1. Beating Justin Bieber if I recall.

    If you're looking for a very low-risk play I would recommend:

    Get Lucky for Record of the year +113 Bookmaker
    WITH
    Royals Record of the year +175 5Dimes.

    Which is basically taking -500 against the field.

    nice info, I wonder though. I was thinking they don't let you parlay awards shows but you had mentioned it so I will ask. Why isn't 5d offering a parlay with this? Any clue?

    Because the plays can be correlated.

    For example with Oscars the film that wins best editing almost always wins best picture.

    Tried to throw a unit on daft punk for album of year at +400, hit accept and 5dimes tells me line has changed. It went from +400 to -350, wonder what tip came out. I ended up going big on Royals for song of year and hedged with Same Love.

    Yeah, I saw that, too. I think it was some sort of mistake and they meant to go to +350 as betfair didn't seem to get hit hard on it, and 5d didn't adjust the original favorite to dog prices.

    Makes perfect sense bc Macklemore line stayed in the -200 range. Must have just been a mistake on their part. Thanks!
