2011 Oscar Odds for Best Actor: No Worth for Colin Firth

When it comes to the 2011 Oscar odds for Best Actor and wagering on Colin Firth to win for The King’s Speech, Gambling911.com says “forgetaboutit”.

SBG Global had Firth listed at -10000 odds, which essentially makes it impossible to place a wager on the star.
