@A Confused Shoe. The odds for Guillermo del Toro is -1205. To win $100 you have to make a bet worth $1205. If you make a bet of $100, you win only $8.30. Taking on odds that high is not worth it.
The best way to bet in the Oscars is to make bets in the minor categories hehehe.
As an example, look at the Best Sound Mixing category. I reckon The Baby Driver +500 has a good chance to win versus the favorite which is the movie Dunkirk -714.

Anyhow in the event of Oscar, now gambling websites were ready to profit a good sum. People have already begun the spending on Oscar events which is scheduled after a week's time. Anyhow wishes for every gamblers who have hard plans to make a bigger earning through these events.
Thanks for starting this thread. Guillermo del Toro is a lock for Best Director, IMHO. Put some $ down on him before the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs), but he strengthened his case as the runaway favorite when he took the award over Nolan (who is a British director).
Odds have definitely reflected that from the -200ish -> -1000+ drop since then, but I still think there is value there if you can find it at -1000 or less (Bovada, BetOnline) for a 10%+ ROI.
Coco is another lock, but the odds are ridiculous on that one now (like -4000, -5000 range).
BOL

I totally agree! But definitely late right now, as the odds have shifted quite a lot from when they started. Guess the early birds are getting this one pretty good.
Would love to bet on Coco though, my kid loved it (though not a factor that should really affect the judging, but maybe the kids are on to something).

Can't believe The Shape of Water is favourite in Best picture. Quite boring and too much extended. I don't think that my personal favourite Dunkirk shipped it. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing.

@drmarcobelli. Yes, I Tonya is a great movie. It showed how the system was against her all along, and that she was really America's best ice skater at that time, but the governing body favored Nancy Kerrigan because she was a sweet heart, while Tonya was white trash.
Tonya was really a victim of an unfair system.
@josephine85. What do you and your sister do?

I was doing it everytime there is an oscar award. I am always doing it with my sister. We are fun of Oscars and I really appreciate their talents and skills.
i'm not too concern about other categories but i was interested to see the winner of the best visual effects and although seeing the odds for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is very hard to be the winner of this category but i wish this movie will be the winner because i liked this movies
Actor category i expect DiCaprio to win all the time but unfortunately he missed several time. This year hope we will be under this category and wins the title too.
OneHash adding all the special event betting, hope they will add Oscar also in that list.
The only other site which I knew of at the time was Directbet.eu, well when they were still around.
Damn this is interesting!
Never placed a bet on something like this. Could give it a try
Would love Margot to win hah, but it wont happen
Let's just go safe for the smallest odds.

Shape of Water has odds around 3.0 where I bet (3/1 or +200 depends on your favorite odds format).
This is great value in my opinion.
Also Sam Rockwell is a lock for best supporting actor, I am glad he will win it, he is so underrated and has been one of my favorite actor for years.

@STT. Do not underestimate the sportsbooks. Those odds are priced that way for a reason, and they are almost 99% correct with their predictions. Your best way of doubling your bet is to do parlay of the absolute favorite in each category. Something Nitrogensports has disabled.
They also do not have the rest of the nominations like best costume and best sound editing which have the best chance for us to win some bets. Maybe they learned from last year hehehe.

Book maker are quite good on creating bets. Parlay will not gonna ensure too a x2 profit since Oscar candidate has all chance of winning. I really don't know what are the basis of book maker for creating this kind of bet option.
Honestly, this is the first time I saw betting on Oscars Award. I never thought that sports betting will extend too awarding event and etc.
Yesss, I love Oscars betting! But it's a pity that there're some most obvious prize winners for which you'll receive only small reward. On the other hand, something unpredictable may occur, like last year lots of people made their bets on "La-La-Land", even though the reward was the smallest, they were as sure about it, that put a very big money on it. And then boom! "Moonlight"... That was a true disappointment.

Depends where you are in the world, some movies take a year to get fully released across every cinema, also depends on the size of film as not every production is a blockbuster with the budget to produce alot of copies. Obviously Oscars arent given out by blockbuster status so much, they are awarding to all sorts of small scale releases like the foreign language and special categories.
I believe any film in 2017 is eligible ? So that'd include some done at the last moment - Plumber with his last minute entry stop gap cover in the 'All the Money in the World (2017)' has to be one of the most surprising nominations for years. I think he'll win it personally, it ties into the effect I mention above plus he deserves an award for his lifetimes work

Is it weird that I haven't heard of many of the movies that are currently listed? Or the actors for that matter?
Thought I was keeping up quite well with movies, but now it appears I missed quite a bit.

@kiindje. My bet is the Shape of Water which is directed by Guillermo del Toro. It was simple but a very good movie with a classic feel. I hope the odds for it will be good enough. But if not then I will be doing a parlay for best film, best director, best actor and best actress hehehe.
This is the kind of film most likely to win, however this year you have the wildcard of the Harvey Weinstein effect. The oscar academy is a bit political so I dont know if the risks of a surprising result are great, perhaps odds are not as good value as they might be normally. The big thing is that some know how the votes go, they'll know the opinions of some of the voters so this seems slightly unfair as anyone in the industry might have a better take on the current spirit or consensus voting pattern.
