Academy Awards 2010 Odds: Best Values
When it comes to Academy Awards 2010 odds, there are some categories that are less competitive and, as such, more pricey.
Take for example, Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz as the huge -3500 odds favorite at BetUS.com. OUCH! Yes, you would have to bet $350 just to win $10 (the $350 would almost certainly be refunded since he is considered a "lock").
Some of the best value this year comes with the Best Picture category. The Hurt Locker was now the -150 favorite but Avatar would actually pay out $11 for every $10 bet at BetUS.com.
Following the announced Oscar nominations, Sandra Bullock was almost treated like a "lock" but now her Academy Awards 2010 odds have been slashed down to -160 and it is Oscars darling Meryl Streep who is gaining steam. Streep would pay out $16 for every $10 bet with a win. This will be a most watched category since Gambling911.com would not rule out early favorite Gabby Sidibe (Precious) winning here with a payout of $140 for every $10 bet.
Best Adapted Screenplay was also relatively tight with Up In The Air the -400 favorite and all others offering enticing payout odds.
Best Original Screenplay was even tighter with Inglourious Basterds only a -200 favorite while The Hurt Locker would pay out $16 for every $10 bet.
Best Sound Editing had Avatar as the -250 favorite at BetUS.com while any other movie would pay out $17 for every $10 bet. The oddsmakers are not entirely convinced that Avatar will walk away with this Oscar.
