Slumdog Millionaire started at -400 and was surely bet up to -1400 but is now -4000!
Boyle for director has taken a similar turn, now up to -3500.
Winslett for best actress was -200 and is now -1500.
Ledger was -3300 and is now an astonishing -10,000.
Rourke was -125 then bet up to -255 but is now an astonishing -1000!
I checked on these less than a week ago and now the night of they have locked in these favorites as absolute certainties. The Rourke pick stands out the most, as Penn has to be getting some sort of action.
It does not seem like they are going for "equal action" here, because they have removed all value and I am sure people bet on some of the other options in some categories. It looks like they have information we do not and are making the winners they know are coming as prohibitive to bet on as possible.
Anyone agree or disagree with this thought?

*--This is my first year betting the Oscars (I will go almost undefefeated IMHO except on the longshot 10 dollar bet!) and these line fluctuations are so extreme they have blown my mind. Glad I got in within the first few dyas the odds were posted and plan on doing that every year from here on out.
