For readers inexperienced in wagering knowledge, "Social Network" is the movie oddsmakers list as favorite at -200 odds. If the odds figure is preceded by a minus sign, then that number is what must be wagered to win $100. Of course more or less can be wagered, though all books set minimum and maximum wager limits.
