Bradley Cooper Odds of Winning an Oscar: Payout Would Be 20-1
Bradley Cooper’s odds of winning an Oscar this year for his role in “American Sniper” playing America’s most lethal sniper were set at 20-1, making him a long shot after the likes of Eddie Rednayne (“The Theory of Everything”) and Michael Keaton (“Birdman”).
Perhaps because the film is such a recent box office smash – especially when compared to the rest of the nominations – Cooper is getting more accolades than any other Oscar long shot in recent memory.
But can he win?
“I think a lot of folks will tune in just to see it happen,” suggests Payton O’Brien, Senior Editor of the Gambling911.com website. “Or else to see ‘American Sniper’ take home the Oscar.”
The later is less likely especially since Director Clint Eastwood was snubbed this year.
Still, some say it is possible and gamblers may wish to seek a greater reward based on these slim hopes. A $10 bet, after all, would pay out $200.
In Europe, Cooper is seeing 14% of the bets compared to 35% for Redmayne and 32% for Keaton.
