Oscars Prop Bets: The Best Longshots to Target

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

Each year I use a model by Harvard graduate and baseball analyst Ben Zauzmer that is submitted at The Hollywood Reporter to win, nay, crush a hometown Oscars pool.
But holding bragging rights over your friends is not near as fun as carrying an offshore sportsbook to the cleaners, so I thoughtwhy not apply it to Oscars prop bets? This season I set my sites on using his model to locate the most inefficient and exploitable chances.
In comparing the proportions from Zauzmer’s model with the implied odds on Bovada, I managed to identify a couple of longshot, contrarian stakes offering significant value on account of this favorite, often Roma, being overvalued.
It is unlikely that a vast majority of these hit, but at these odds we actually only should bink one to have a profitable Sunday evening.
All credit belongs to the very sharp Ben Zauzmer, so please follow him on Twitter and test out all of his posts on The Hollywood Reporter (2 & 1 ), where you can see the model’s full results, plus his comment.
And for much more best Oscars prop bets, have a look at my appearance at the technical categories.
Best Picture
Favorite: Roma (-330)
Finest Bet: BlacKkKlansman (+3000)
Zauzmer’s version provides Roma a 32.6% to win best picture, and it can be a far cry from the implied Bovada likelihood of 76%. The version provides BlacKkKlansman a 17.5percent chance to win — a huge discrepancy from Bovada’s 3% indicated odds. It may be a longshot, but that’s too much value to pass up on.
Via Zauzmer:
“ROMA EARNED MAJOR HONORS FROM THE DIRECTORS GUILD AND BAFTAS — GOOD ENOUGH TO VAULT INTO FIRST PLACE, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO APPROACH 50 PERCENT. SO THERE’S ACTUALLY A BETTER CHANCE THAT ROMA LOSES THAN WINS, BUT IT’S STILL THE MOST LIKELY WINNER AMONG THE EIGHT CONTENDERS.”
Finest Manager Favorite: Alfonso Cuaron (-2000)
Best Bet: Yorgos Lanthimos (+3300)
The Favourite, starring Emma Stone, may not be receiving its proper due. (Image: Vox)
Similar to Best Picture, there is a massive discrepancy between the way Bovada and Zauzmer are handicapping the race.
Bovada’s suggested odds give Alfonso Cuaron (Roma) that a 95% chance of success, whereas Zauzmer’s model gives him a 65% chance. The value can be found with The Favourite director, Yorgos Lanthimos, where the version gives a higher chance to acquire (11.6%) than Bovada’s implied odds (2.8%).

WWE Greatest Royal Rumble Pro Wrestling Betting Odds

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

–The first WWE’Royal Rumble’ PPV was in 1988

–The’Greatest Royal Rumble’ will have an all time high of 50 entrants
–The’Greatest Royal Rumble’ takes place on April 27, 2018, at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Just a couple weeks later”Wrestlemania 34″ that the WWE will present yet another massive show on April 27, this one known as the’Greatest Royal Rumble’. The entire backstory of the series as well as the booking is somewhat curious to the point that it is tough to determine what is happening. The show will take place in the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi media is calling it the country’s’most brash and brutal sporting occasion of 2018.’ It is going to be accessible live on the WWE Network or PPV depending on the country. Because of the time difference the card begins at 12:00 Noon Eastern using a preshow starting at 11:00 AM.
So just how did the WWE end up in Saudi Arabia with a ridiculously piled card just a couple weeks after Wrestlemania? Can you think it is all about cash? The show is part of a multiyear’venture’ between the wrestling marketing and the Saudi General Sports Authority. The partnership is part of a broader initiative named Saudi Vision 2030 which expects to bring about social and economic reforms in Saudi Arabia with the goal of lessening their dependence on oil exports. Tracy Lee of Newsweek describes it thusly:
The event reflects the Muslim country economic and social reforms aimed at transforming Saudi Arabia. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, 32, spearheaded a bigger investment in athletics as well as an initiative dubbed the Vision 2030, that is meant to reduce the nation’s reliance on petroleum.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was understandably thrilled:
“The Best Royal Rumble will be a spectacle of historical proportions. Our partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority reveals a long-term devotion to introduce WWE’s world-class amusement to a global audience on a grander scale than ever before.”
You are no doubt wondering how an event of the ratio held in Saudi Arabia will mesh with the WWE’s open message of service for fans of all sexual orientations, not to mention the work they have put into revitalizing their women’s branch? It’s simple–the WWE will do what they are told. Here’s the current condition of’reform’ in Saudi Arabia, once again from Newsweek’s Lee:
Just last October, the General Sports Authority said that girls for the very first time ever will be permitted to visit sports events in selected stadiums in early 2018. The city of Jeddah recently hosted the nation’s first women-only cycling event.
It arrived a month after the nation decided to lift its ban on female drivers, which has been seen as a sign of the nation’s repression of women.
Translation–no women’s matches on the card and no doubt it’ll be more ixnay on the’LGBT approval’ talk.
ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE
The deal with the Saudi General Sports Authority is clearly lucrative enough to the WWE to do anything they are asked as a way to make it occur. How lucrative? Lucrative enough to bring over near 100 wrestlers such as all of the big guns–Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Kane, The Undertaker and even Chris Jericho and Triple H. The event has been held in a 65,000 seat stadium meaning a complete house would not be that far away by a’Wrestlemania’ level attendance. Lucrative enough that the promotion may have changed the reservation for what is their’marquee event’ aka’Wrestlemania’ to beef up the card for the series in Saudi Arabia. Bryan Alverez of The Wrestling Observer up it:
“So now they’ve got this giant show in Saudi Arabia. Do you guys know just how much cash WWE could potentially make through deals with Saudi Arabia? So, that is the priority at the moment. Not WrestleMania you already bought your ticket for.”
There’s been some backlash about the lack of women’s matches on the show but those within the company have been mum on the topic, obviously realizing that the WWE is coping with a massive payday herenow and in the foreseeable future. Additionally, they may create some of their fans upset by booking several big title changes here (including by all reports a Global Championship win by Roman Reigns over Brock Lesnar) however, the WWE is confident that it will not hurt their American audience. At any rate, there are enough chips on the table in the Middle East to make it worth the danger.
Here would be the SPORTS BETTING EXPERTS opening chances for the’Greatest Royal Rumble’. There are currently 8 matches 9 matches confirmed for the show so there will probably be added ones added to the card. Below you’ll find the odds about the supported matches. Look for an odds update as circumstances warrant. We’ll also be adding some prop bets on the’Greatest Royal Rumble’ the week before the event.

Golden Globes predictions 2019: Complete TV odds in all 11 categories

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

When Golden Globes are given out on Sunday night, January 15, who will win? The TV prizes are challenging to predict because voters do not usually comply with the Emmys’ lead. They often gravitate to new shows and fresh faces, or even A-list movie stars who make the move to the little screen. Scroll down to view our complete TV forecasts in all 11 categories listed in sequence of their racetrack odds, together with projected winners highlighted in gold. Are we spot-on, or way off?
The Globes are decided by fewer than 100 international journalists that make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but our odds are derived from the joint predictions of over 1,000 Gold Derby users, such as Expert journalists we have polled from leading media outlets, the Editors who pay awards all year for Gold Derby, the Top 24 Users who did the top calling last year’s Globe champions for TV, the All-Star Top 24 who had the predictions over the last two years, along with the mass of Users who make up our most significant predictions bloc. Normally it is one of these regular users who places the rest of us and wins our predictions competition.
SIGN UPfor Gold Derby newsletter with newest predictions Can we do just as well as this past year? In 2018 Gold Derby’s chances correctly predicted 9 out of 11 TV categories (81.82%). We missed Best TV Comedy Actor: Aziz Ansari (“Master of None”) conquer our called front-runner Eric McCormack (“Will and Grace”). And we’re also wrong about Best TV Movie/Limited Actor: we called Robert De Niro (“The Wizard of Lies”), but the Globes picked Ewan McGregor (“Fargo”).
This season races may be more difficult, however, given the glut of new displays in emptiness: four out of five nominees for Best Comedy Series are first-time contenders, as are all five nominees for Best Drama Series. Who will go home with the gold? Find out what we think below. You can make or upgrade your own predictions here until awards have been passed out this weekend.

ACADEMY AWARDS BETTING ODDS FOR BEST ACTRESS 2019

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

When awards season began, it looked just like a certain pop star was a lock to get the Best Actress Oscar award. Oh, how things can change. Currently there is another near-lock for the Academy Awards, and she is someone who is very familiar with the honor.
Check out who is in rod and which longshots would be the best bet to cause the mad.

GLENN CLOSE (THE WIFE)
Legendary actress Glenn Close is known for her work in movies such as The Big Chill, The Organic, Fatal Attraction, and 101 Dalmatians. Over the span of her 45-year career, the versatile star of stage and screen has won three Tony Awards, three Golden Globe awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and three Primetime Emmy Awards.
In The Wife, Close stars as a woman who questions her life decisions because she journeys to Stockholm together with her husband (Jonathan Pryce), a soon-to-be Nobel Prize winner. Her performance at the Sony Pictures Classics play has made her a Golden Globe as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. When it comes to the Academy, Close is a seven-time Oscar nominee, meaning she’s more nominations without a win compared to any other living actor.
With a chance at making history, Close is a lock for Best Actress. The Academy loves to reward actors that are always nominated without a triumph. Remember when Leonardo DiCaprio eventually won Best Actor for The Revenant? Despite strong competition from Olivia Colman and Lady Gaga, it is all but guaranteed that the Academy admits Close to get a career filled with terrific performances. BetStarsNJ now has shut as a -800 favorite.
Key awards for Glenn Close
Golden Globes: Best Actress — Motion Picture Drama
Screen Actors Guild of America: Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role
OLIVIA COLMAN (THE FAVOURITE)
English actress Olivia Colman is best known for her roles in Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz (2007), The Iron Lady (2011), and Tyrannosaur (2011). After dealing with Yorgos Lanthimos on his 2015 movie, The Lobster, Colman reunited with the Greek filmmaker for The Favourite, where she portrays Anne, Queen of Great Britain.
For her work in the period piece, Colman won the Golden Globe for Best Actress — Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was nominated by the Screen Actors Guild Award. That is her first Oscar nomination, therefore it’s safe to say that the Academy will choose to award 71-year-old celebrity Close over Colman, as she’ll probably be nominated again later on. Sportsbook playMGM currently has Colman in +550.
KEY AWARDS FOR OLIVIA COLMAN
Golden Globes: Best Actress — Motion Picture Drama
Screen Actors Guild of America: Outstanding Female Actor in a Leading Role
British Academy of Film and Television Awards: Leading Actress
LADY GAGA (A STAR IS BORN)
Lady Gaga resides for its applause (the applause, the applause). The singer, songwriter and actress is beloved for her chart-topping singles and provocative visual fashion. In A Star is Born, the pop megastar plays Ally, a waitress and aspiring artist who falls in love with Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper), a famous rocker with a drinking problem that sees her talent and coaxes her from obscurity and into the spotlight.
A Star is Born was chosen by both the National Board of Review as one of the Top 10 Movies of 2018 and won Best Actress, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. Additionally, it received five Golden Globe nominations, two Directors Guild of America Awards nods, four Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations and eight Oscar nods.
Gaga delivers an excellent performance in Cooper’s movie, but it seems like the Academy will decide to recognize her contribution elsewhere, namely the Best Song category. Her song,”Shallow,” is a shoo-in to acquire that class, but the Best Actress belongs to Close.

Bookies give odds on who will sit the Iron Throne in season 8

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

The Iron Throne has changed hands more than once since we started our adventure in Westeros seven long seasons past. When the music ceases, but its all about who is sitting down. In that vein, Las Vegas sportsbook Bovada has given odds on who will sit on the Iron Throne in the conclusion of the collection. Search for your favorite personality below:
Daenerys Targaryen (2:1)
Jon Snow (2:1)
Bran Stark (3.5:1)
The Night King (10:1)
Tyrion Lannister (12.5:1)
Cersei Lannister (15:1)
Jaime Lannister (15:1)
Sansa Stark (25:1)
Arya Stark (40:1)
Euron Greyjoy (50:1)
Varys (75:1)
Gendry (75:1)
Samwell Tarly (75:1)
Melisandre (100:1)
Theon Greyjoy (100:1)
Jaqen H’ghar (100:1)
Brienne of Tarth (100:1)
Jorah Mormont (100:1)
Bronn (100:1)
Tormund Giantsbane (100:1)
Davos Seaworth (100:1)
The Hound (100:1)
Gilly (100:1)
Daario Naharis (100:1)
Yara Greyjoy (100:1)
The Mountain (150:1)
As you can see, Daenerys and Jon remain the heavy favorites to rule the Seven Kingdoms when the screen fades to black at the end of the Game of Thrones series finale. However, Bran’s right behind them, and it is a surprise; the guy’s got other priorities these days. The Night King landing in the fourth place is shocking. That certainly would be something other than a”fairy tale ending.”
Cersei did a remarkable job of holding the Iron Throne throughout season , so her odds seem a little low at 15:1. Jaime feels a little off, too, because he is not nearly as interested in judgment as his sister.
These odds change a bit if you ask bookies. Place your bets.

Parsing The Odds And Predicting The 2019 Oscar Winners

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

Hollywood award season will peak using the 91st Academy Awards on Feb. 24, which can be expected to attract millions of viewers despite the lack of a host to the first time in years. However, predicting the outcome for the Oscars is no server, host or a popular pursuit, as it’s similar in spirit to free sports betting picks.
When betting on the Oscars, the Las Vegas bookies generally offer the odds on who or what is likeliest to choose which awards, which gives an even more gaming to the whole practice vibe.
The 2019 Oscars will probably feature a few unexpected winners and shocks, particularly as they tend to create surprises. Will the chances predict how Academy members will vote?
Here’s a breakdown of the chances for some of the most popular categories for the 2019 Oscars.
Best Picture Oscar
“Roma” -119
“Green Book” +316
“A Star is Born” +733
“BlacKkKlansman” +1000

Chestnut, Sudo Massive Favorites To Win 2019 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Entertainment betting

The Mustard Belt is once again up for grabs at the 103rd Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest as Joey”Jaws” Chestnut looks to win the men’s name for the 12th time in 13 decades, while on the women’s side Miki Sudo aims to become a six-time belt holder. Are or is there a relatively unknown aggressive eater planning to take a bite out of the competition?
Online sportsbook BetOnline has a list of betting odds for you. While for the girls, Sudo is a popular with the remainder of the field, Chestnut has odds of -1000 to acquire the Mustard Belt.
He’s a Tough Chestnut to Crack, And Will Another Record be Set?
Joey”Jaws” Chestnut has been place the aggressive food eating world on fire by devoting absurd amounts of food in short amounts of time. Just over a month ago he put a new world record. He plowed 28.5 sandwiches into him in just 10 minutes, 9.5 more than second-place Gideon Oji. Last year, Oji set the world record at the inaugural championship by eating 18.5.
The canteen sandwiches mark isn’t the world album this year that Jaws has set. Just a week earlier, he awakened Geoffrey Esper’s listing of 36 pepperoni rolls in 10 minutes with 43, outdueling Esper, who devoured 37.5 on May 25.
There was a controversy in the past year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest when a counter missed a plate of 10 dogs with devouring 64 dogs and he was initially credited. But the supervision was detected and he finished with a total of 74 franks (with bun) in 10 minutes. Online sportsbook BetOnline has set the entire amount of puppies eaten by the winner this season at 73.5, a half-dog less than last year’s total. With Jaws setting two documents in just over a month, I believe the OVER is a good drama and 75 puppies, a new world record, is not out of the question.
Can Sudo Scarf Down 41 Automobiles?
Miki Sudo has competed in five Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests and she’s walked away full and together with the Mustard Belt each time. She has averaged 37.7 franks annually with her livelihood being 41 dogs (with bun) in 2017, four off Sonya Thomas’ entire record of 45 set in 2012.
This year’s total is set at 40.5 which does seem like a bit of a tall order for her to reach as she has just topped 39 franks after in her profession. That being said, contributing into this competition she finished third overall among women and men with 41.5 BakeMark Donuts on June 7, only 4.5 fewer than first-place Matt Stonie. Sudo also finished fifth overall with 17 malted barley pretzels downed in eight minutes, which was nine short of Geoff Esper’s 26.
She is a huge -1600 favorite to put more dogs away than the remainder of the area but I’m not sure she can get to the mark of 41 franks again to hit the OVER.
Here’s the full list of odds from BetOnline for the 103rd Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest:
