Betting on a Film
Online casino bettors are intrigued by the fact that “The Hobbit” has
encountered numerous delays in the production work and the release date of the
film is continually changing as new updates are released and leaked to the
media. The “Lord of the Rings” trilogy has been some of the most successful
movies in the box office in the history of film making – most certainly tops on
the list for trilogies. But “The Hobbit” filming is not going quite so smoothly
and the online casinos are now offering up odds and bets on the release date for
the film. Although there was a hope that the film would be released within the
next year and a half, the odds makers have shown that the film’s release will be
much farther out than even 2011, a fact that will surely disappoint fans of this
epic trilogy.
One of the setbacks that has had the odds makers at the online casinos adjusting
their timeline is the fact that Guillermo del Toro is no longer the director of
“The Hobbit” as was anticipated – he did such amazing work on other films and
the fact that he left the movie in pre-production does not bode well for the
film actually coming to a completion – at this stage of the game it means that
the pre-production work comes to a stand-still until a new director signs on and
maps out his vision. The online casino betting shops are actually offering some
pretty amazing odds through for the internet bettor who is able to pick the
right date, 500 to 1 for the bettor who sees far enough ahead to pick the right
date between now 2011 and 2013 – most bettors are thinking that late 2012 and
2013 are the most likely bets.
The uncertainty in the filming process has led to the bets at the online casino
betting sites because it’s so up in the air that it is a great bet for the
gambling sites – and also a fun way for bettors to test their luck and make a
huge sum if they are able to pick such a wide range of dates – it’s like a giant
roulette game created by del Toro’s departure as well as fluctuations in
financial stability at the studios. |
