2021 Oscars Favorites, Underdogs and Betting Info, According to the Odds
This year's Oscars is sure to be an interesting affair as Hollywood emerges from the pandemic in a live setting.
While some of the traditions will be put aside for safety, gambling on the event is still as popular as ever.
SportsBetting.ag has set odds for 20 Oscars categories, and also provided some pertinent wagering information.
You can see which nominees are being bet on the most, and which odds have moved the most. For example, Youn Yuh-jung went from +175 odds to -450 odds in the Best Supporting Actress category.
Top 3 Most Bet
1. Youn Yuh-jung (Best Supporting Actress)
2. The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Best Picture)
3. Viola Davis (Best Actress)
Top 3 Largest Liability (the bookie stands to lose the most if these pull off upsets)
1. Amanda Seyfried (Best Supporting Actress)
2. The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Best Picture)
3. Emerald Fennell (Best Director)
Here are some quotes from the SportsBetting.ag head oddsmaker, Robert Cooper:
“When it comes to wagering on the ‘entertainment markets,’ the Oscars by far and away attracts the most and biggest bets.
“This year, more than ever due to the pandemic, it feels like there will be a lot of upsets. The predictive markets aren’t really sure about some of these categories, and the betting patterns have reflected that uncertainty.
“Chadwick Boseman looks like a lock to take home Best Actor posthumously, and rightfully so, but after Anthony Hopkins won the BAFTA, Boseman’s odds dropped from -5000 to -2000. Still, a heavy favorite, but worth noting.”
Additional Notes:
Best Picture: Nomadland has been the clear favorite for quite some time, but we've seen some decent action on Minari at +900.
Best Actress: Most wide-open category we have. Day won Golden Globes, Davis won the SAG and McDormand won the BAFTA. However, Carey Mulligan, is slight favorite at +130. Action is very balanced between the Top 4 favorites.
Best Supporting Actress: Yuh-jung and Bakalova opened as co-favorites with +175 odds, but Yu-jung has took home the SAG and BAFTA, which shifted her odds to -450 currently.
