Can I Bet the Oscars on Draftkings?

While Draftkings does post odds on the Oscars, you are not permitted to bet them in many states where Draftkings is available.  BetUS offers betting on the Oscars in all US states (not available in New Jersey).  Ask about their generous welcome bonus (max bonus $2500).

Oscar bets typically feature maximums of just a few hundred dollars.

Many of the categories feature "locks".  These are high priced favorites that require a significant bet amount to win a small profit.

Examples for the 2021 Oscars include Best Actor Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom) at -1200.  This would require a $120 bet to win $10.  Let's be clear, you will win $10 and get back that $120.

We here at Gambling911.com prefer better value "locks", and there is such a thing when it comes to the Oscars.  For example, barring an absolute fluke, Nomadland will win the Oscar for Best Picture.  But the price is just -600.  When it comes to betting on the Academy Awards, this is a very good value.  You would bet $120 to win $20.   You get back the $120 and your profit is $20.  A $240 bet pays $40.  Simply put, this is easy money....IF you can stomach the risk amount and realize there is still a very slim chance - not likely though - that your bet will be a loser.

Below are all of the Oscars 2021 odds offered at BetUS.
