Odds to win Best Actress at the 2012 Oscars had both Meryl Streep and Viola Davis in a dead heat with Davis a -165 favorite and Streep at +110 for a potential $11 payout on every $10 bet.  All updated Oscars 2012 odds can be found at Bookmaker.eu. 

A strategic play for some would be to wager on Michelle Williams at +1400 with the idea being that both Davis and Streep cancel one another out.  Some pundits believe Williams can provide one of the rare Oscar upsets this year with a payout of $140 on every $10 bet.

“You don’t normally see this happening,” admits Payton O’Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website.  “But this year’s Best Actress category is unusually tight and the substantial payout odds will draw plenty of interest.”

The Oscars is considered one of the most bet on events of the year.
