Even at totally crappy odds, I think we all know that this current line at Bodog is a no-lose situation:

Will Superman Returns gross more opening weekend than The Break-Up?
Yes: -470
No: +285

Now, listen, sure, you'd make more money betting on "No," but we all know Superman is going to gross more than The Break Up. The break-up featured Jennifer Anniston, loved by straight women and gay men ... and appearing naked to pull in the straight men (who get the double bonus of a naked Jennifer Anniston and a "dude's -dude" Vince Vaughn).

BUT - Superman stars a hot guy loved by straight women and gay men, but it's also a comic book action movie, so straight men and about a billion proud comic book fans, many of whom will show up on opening night proudly dressed in their own Superman tights, are going to rush out to see this film. I mean, is this even a discussion?

So, you can't win a lot, but you can win. Get on over to Bodog and win some cash next week when America's hero returns to the silver screen.
