Grammy Predictions By American Music Journalists
オッズ。

さて、自分の予想を発表した後、いろいろ探していたら、おもしろいサイトに出会った。ゴールドダービーというサイトで、ここはいろいろなアワードをそれぞれの専門家が予想するというもの。グラミーも、その後に行われるアカデミーも、いろいろ予想している。さらに、それぞれの部門でのオッズをつけていた。

http://www.goldderby.com/articles/grammyodds2005.asp

ここで言うオッズとは、2/1は、2倍ということ。例えば、1000円買えば、2000円になるという意味。倍数が小さければ小さいほど、当選が有力とみなされている、ことになる。アルバムの4/5というのは、掛け金が元を割るということ。つまり、5000円かけても、4000円しか戻らない、ということ。それだけ大本命だという意味になる。

6/1は、6倍になる。8/5は1.6倍になる、ということです。下記リストは、上から順に有力ということを意味する。

また、このサイトは有力な音楽記者7人のそれぞれの予想を紹介している。

(例)
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
"Genius Loves Company," Ray Charles & Various Artists -- Arnold, Gundersen, Grein, Halperin, O'Neil, Willman
"American Idiot," Green Day -- Bauder

上記では、アーノルド、ガンダーセン、グレイン、ハルペリン、オニール、ウィルマンの6人がレイ・チャールズを予想、バウダーがグリーン・デイを予想ということになる。それにしても、いまや、あちこちでグラミー予想は花盛りか。(笑) きっとイギリスのブックメイカーなんかだと、実際にお金をかけてやってるんだろうなあ。

さて、あなたの予想はいかに。
