Star Wars prop bets and others...

With the new trailer out tonight on MNF I saw these bets today and I think there is some major value here on a few. Tickets are already the highest ever in the UK for a movie as advance sales started today for it. US presale starts tonight and the forecast in world wide tickets is 2 billion. I see that Bovada has a prop on whether Star Wars will break Avatars record of 2.788 Billiion.tall order to say the least but we have 40 years of history working for us and 3 generations of people to see it.The movie seems the perfect storm here to, Cool Director, old and young actors. Amazing effects with a lot less CGI, actual built sets.
The price seems to have quite a bit of value. Figured for a toss up on the prop maybe -115 for each.
So going to play...
Will Star Wars Episode VII surpass Avatar as the top grossing movie of all time?
Yes +200 + ...1 unit
No -300 +
Proposition
Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens Specials
All wagers have action. Must gross over $2.788bn worldwide to be graded as a win.
Also a prop on whether may the force be with you to be said at -150. Almost seems to easy here. I know Abrams is doing this movie differently and could throw us a curve ball, but I cannot see that happening.
So NOV 01/[email protected]
"May the force be with you" to be said
Yes -150 + 3 units to win 2.
Spectre to have over 90 million opening weekend. Skyfall had 88.3 seems very doable .
-120.. Risk 1.2 to win 1

Where are these lines from ?
+200 for highest-grossing film of all time definitely seem interesting. Avatar made an insane amount, though.
IMO, 'Yes' odds are too high. I'd say it should be maybe -115-ish.
From the new trailer and bits and pieces Ive read online, I get the impression that the Jedi have been pretty scarce since the Return of the Jedi. I've been avoiding total plot spoilers though, so of course I could be wrong.
Good luck on your plays.
:nerdglasses:
Its down to +175...
Lets do this!!
First reviews are very positive,
Got my ticket already.... :thumbup1:
May the force and 2 units be with you.
And did not bet it but saw prop on bovada at around 8-1 on han saying "i have a bad feeling about this" ..well that would have cashed too!!
1.5 billion worldwide..!! Just a matter of time to cash..and only 20 million short of Avatar for USA record ..AMAZING!
I give it a B...Good but not great..A few plot holes but obviously no one cares....
