Bet the Oscars This Sunday – How To Win Big

When you place your bet on the Oscars this Sunday remember there are methods to employ for winning extra money.

It is good to know that typically the favorite wins more than not.

Here is the Gambling911.com secret of how to win extra cash when betting the Oscars:

betED.com has a special deal where they will pay 50 percent back on your first bet IF IT IS A WINNER.  Now it is important to keep in mind that this offer is not applicable on your first Oscars bet, but that is not to say such a bet cannot be used in conjunction with a sport spread bet or Over/Under.  Gambling911.com features some pretty good sports picks daily that might offer a useful resource but, when it comes to this particular offer, we do suggest a little research.

Now here's the deal:  Make sure to place your WINNING SPORTS WAGER before you place your bet on the Oscars.  Occasionally these online gambling sites will use the argument that your first bet was not related to sports and therefore you're ineligible to get the 50 percent back yada yada.  Just keep this in mind as a precaution.

When you bet the Oscars, keep in mind that the Academy Awards are like the Super Bowl of the entertainment industry and this applies to the online gambling sites as well.  You will have trouble opening an account during the hours leading up to the start of the Oscars as thousands of people are trying to get their last minute bet in.  Remember, the Oscars is the third most bet on single day/night event of the year.  Gambling911.com is already seeing more Oscar betting inquiries than it did Super Bowl betting inquiries leading into the weekend.  That is some pretty staggering data.

Oscar Betting Odds at betED.com have Slumdog Millionaire as the big favorite to win the big prize, the Academy Award for Best Picture, at -1000 odds, which essentially means you don't want to bet on Slumdog Millionaire.  Why risk so much money for such a small return?

Instead look for smaller favorites like Mickey Rourke as the -210 favorite for Best Actor.

Gambling911.com loves Rourke in this position as he's the talk of Hollywood outside of Heath Ledger this weekend and the price has tremendous value.  One only has to risk $21 to win $10 at betED.com.  You would get your $10 back and the $21 profit if Mickey Rourke wins for Best Actor.

Sean Penn isn't far back at +100 odds for his portrayal of Harvey Milk, a gay California politician who was murdered in the 1970s, in Gus Van Sant's biopic Milk.   But we really believe this one is going to Rourke.

Kate Winslet is another small enough favorite to consider for Best Actress in The Reader.  A $23.50 bet pays $10.
