Fantasy, Documentary, road movies, romantic, arthouse and literary adaptations now added to betting ring

[Chuck Taylor]

Bazza's special films added now to complete the 64!

Get betting as the deadline is whatever date Barry sets as the very first voting day of the last 64

My nap : pulp fiction 9/2
My outsider tip : the usual suspects 22/1

[Chuck Taylor]

Surprised has been knocked out of the running after his pick the green mile failed to make it to the last 32 whereas hanks other film toy story breezed it!

The 5 entrants to this game

SpinyNorman - needs Life of Brian to win the movies world cup

Goldenballs - needs Pulp Fiction to reach the final 8

Barry - needs Toy story to reach the final 4

7lb claimer - $0
Surprised - $0

So 4 hours until the quarter finalists are determined

Looks like original joint favourite star wars is gonna miss out by the skin of its teeth unless a late voter can save it

Other joint favourite shawshank has eased through with currently the most votes

My nap pulp fiction has also eased through with the second most votes and I still think its the one to beat

My outsider pick of the usual suspects also now looks good to be in the last 8, the highest odds of 22/1 reaching the quarters

Other than usual suspects looks as though the other 7 films will have originally been listed at under 10/1

I'm predicting a pulp fiction - life of Brian final....unless they meet in the quarters or semis of course

[Chuck Taylor]

Barry is the 3rd to finish with $0 after his each way pick toy story didn't even make the quarters

Goldenballs has finished with $140 after pulp fiction had made the quarters

The only one that can pip goldenballs now to the movies world cup betting crown is spinynorman who needs life of Brian to win the entire thing! .... Good luck spiny!

I agree but they have to be, pulp is running away with most polls, couldn't price lob any higher as it would have given him an advantage over spiny who is wanting it too win, the others are fair judging by their progress

[Chuck Taylor]

and the winner is

GOLDENBALLS!!

with a final balance of $21

the other 4 entries all ending up on $0

[Spinynorman]

I was so close.
