Manchester By The Sea Oscar Odds – 2017 Academy Awards

Synopsis Lee Chandler is a brooding, irritable loner who works as a handyman for a Boston apartment block. One damp winter day he gets a call summoning him to his hometown, north of the city. His brother's heart has given out suddenly, and he's been named guardian to his 16-year-old nephew. As if losing his only sibling and doubts about raising a teenager weren't enough, his return to the past re-opens an unspeakable tragedy.

AVAILABLE BETS FOR RECREATIONAL GAMBLERS

Best Original Screenplay (Writing) – Manchester By The Sea would require only an $18 bet to win $10.  The $18 is refunded along with the $10 profit.  Bet $36, you profit $20, and so on.  La La Land is the favorite in this category though. 

AVAILABLE BETS FOR PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS

Best Actress – Emma Stone is a “lock” to win but priced at -1100 she’s require a $110 bet to win $10 or $220 bet to win $20 and so on.  It’s a good way to make some easy cash if you have the money to risk (not recommended for casual bettors).
