2011 Oscar Odds for Best Actor: No Worth for Colin Firth
When it comes to the 2011 Oscar odds for Best Actor and wagering on Colin Firth to win for The King’s Speech, Gambling911.com says “forgetaboutit”.
It’s not that he won’t win…he will. Therein lies the problem as Colin Firth is the biggest “lock” in Oscar betting history since online gambling sites started offering odds on the event.
SBG Global had Firth listed at -10000 odds, which essentially makes it impossible to place a wager on the star.
