I was talking to others and they even said Hot97 may have said it.

Also I broke down Kendricks chances of winning. You can completely eliminate Sara Barailles, she's a long-shot and I haven't heard any of hese publications mention her album winning (now we are on a hiphop forum therefore publications mentioned on here obviously are going to be biased to that.). Then you can cancel out Taylor Swift, its hard for an artist to win this twice (only Stevie wonder, U2, and Sinatra did) especially in this short period of time for Taylor Swift no less? nah she won't get it.
That leaves RAM, GKMC, and Heist. The thing is GKMC and Heist are nominated both for RAOTY and we're almost no for a fact GKMC is winning RAOTY. But when two albums are nominated for both AOTY and in their respective genre, they don't split it. If one album takes the award for its genre, it automatically trumps that album for AOTY. Leaving RAM and GKMC as the last two left standing.

Imo if you wanted to hedge you could take RAM for +350 (5dimes) and GKMC +1000. you can do the math and break it up to guarantee whatever profit you want.

Im pissed 5dimes had GKMS yesterday +800 when I took it and now its +1000 :aicmon:

:snoop: I swear if fakkit ass RAM wins this shyt

I don't see much critical acclaim for that album though

I was looking at grammy odds for 2012 and I remember this was during all the Adele hype and some album I've never even heard of that was a huge longshot won and best artist wasn't even on the board and won. I feel like these books don't know a damn thing about the music industry

They don't and neither do most gamblers I assume, I feel as if they offer it just because and Im sure they're going to get alot of Macklemore sucker bets. Im going to be doing alot of research on the oscars this week to see if I can catch them slipping on some of the oscars props.

Adele's 21 did win AOTY in 2012 though but it was much deserved.

Its def not gonna get hammered. We're the few people that have put two and two together. If hot97 did in fact say it on air, I doubt many of the listeners knew its something you could bet on. And I doubt many gamblers really care about it either. Initially I made a thread on reddit's sportsbook about it but then, deleted it after about 2min after realizing what it could potentially cause.
