Oscar Odds 2018

Not really sports betting, but betting nonetheless, wagering on your favorite Oscar candidate can be fun and profitable. The Academy Awards, aka Oscars, are the Super Bowl of popular entertainment. And just like the real Super Bowl, people love to bet on who they think (or hope) will win each category.

There are Oscar Parties where people dress fancy and even roll out the red carpet, literally. Not really my idea of a good time but hey, to each their own.

The Oscar nominees were recently announced and right after that the odds were created by sportsbooks so that people can start betting them. Below are the four categories for which they currently have live odds:
