The credibility of A$FN is a joke, especially given that people won money on the closed "When will DRC sign?" bet that still hasnt even occurred!


Top Paying Events in Total Payouts (combined outcomes)
24480 was paid out for How much will Dark Knight Gross (opening weekend)
4100 was paid out for When do you believe DRC will be signed?

Madcard is going to pay the ones that win on that bet. If it turns out to be the ones that already got paid then he wont have to pay anyone. It will all work ou tin the end.

How are we supposed to have Degree All in Moments???!!!

Why even bother with vbookie if it is limited to $500?


I will send my money to people who never post here as a protest.

All in moments with fake money are overrated.

To me there is no way that Batman isn't number 1 by a wide margin. Even if it sees a 50% drop in ticket sales (which is around the normal drop for 2nd week) it will still pull in around $75 million. This movie is probably going to do a little better than that thanks to word of mouth. I'm guessing it will pull in $80 mil or so. As for the other 2 movies, X-Files is old and kind of lost it's appeal since it has been so long since the show was even on and the last movie. As for Step-Brothers, this will be number 2, but will make less than $40 mil. Will Ferrell's top opening weekend was only $47 mil with Talladega Nights. With this being rated R it won't get nearly as much. Much like the last Batman bet, this is one sided.

Seeing everyone go all in with every bet is silly.

The A$FN have no real value so there is no harm going all in and going all in is usually the most entertaining thing to do.

That said I've only gone all in both times because the bets had such obvious winners. Had the original Dark Knight vbookie been a "would it break the all time record" I may not have gone all in, or if this one was a "will Dark Knight beat the other top 5 movies combined" I probably would not have gone all in.

I think it is safe to say this bet is over. On Friday Batman took in $23.15 milion. Step-brothers was number 2 at $11.75 million. The surprise, at least to me was number 3 was Mama Mia at $5.53. While X-Files trailed in 4th with $4 million.

WOW, not even close. I am not sure which is a bigger surprise, the X-Files on doing 10 million or that Journey to the Center of the Earth beat X-Files on Saturday and Sunday.

Batman 75.6 million
Step Bothers 30 million
X-Files 10.2 million
