MOTO betting

Each day, I publish a minumum of one quick-n’-filthy piece highlighting a favorite prop of mine. See my master listing of 2019 bets to find out more.
The 91st Academy Awards are this Sunday (8:00 p.m. ET, ABC), and a few novels have introduced Oscar props to supplement the large-field to-win wagers for every film group.
Follow me at The Action Network app.
Here are my favorite props for the 2019 Oscars.
Will the 2019 Oscars Be Hosted by Whoopi Goldberg?
Yes: -140
No: +100
After Kevin Hart stepped down from hosting the Oscars, a decision has been made by ABC and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to not have a host with this year’s event.
However there are theories that will serve as a surprise sponsor this year.
I am pounding”No.”
Why do people believe Goldberg could host the case?

As we head into the holiday szn, one of our favourite gambling incidents is set to happen. No, not football that is Thanksgiving. Not by a longshot. I am speaking about Miss Universe.
This Sunday, each the Misses from around the globe will gather in where else but beautiful Las Vegas to summit the best of all of them.
Luckily for us seeing the event on TV, we can bet on the winner at Bovada. I’ve seen every Miss Universe pageant that’s just me, although because I was six.
The three favorites are Miss Thailand, Miss South Africa, and Miss Colombia. How they determined on this, I don’t have any idea, but let us take a look at the contestants.
Miss Thailand: +400 When there was a best name category within this event, she’d surely triumph, but apparently she has a situation at winning the crown no matter. Maria Poonlertlarp is a 6??? tall 25-year-old Thai woman with a Master’s degree. One of her key goals is to help cut down on teenage pregnancy in her home nation. Good for her. Next contestant.
Miss South Africa: +450 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters has hyphens in both her first and last name, which is something I cannot say I have seen previously. She earned two leadership positions. Well done. Next contestant.
Miss Colombia: +500 Hailing from Colombia, Laura Gonz??lez is a 22 year old performer. Perhaps not the most commendable of ambitions compared to others, but what can you do? She wishes to be an actress, go get em girl.
I could do that all day long, but let’s skip the others and take a look at Miss USA.
Miss USA: +1200 Miss District of Columbia (that I didn’t know was a thing) and Miss USA K??ra McCullough will be seeking to bring another crown to her collection. This nice young woman is quite badass if I do say so myself. She has a degree in radiochemistry and currently works as a scientist for the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Sounds kind of significant…
She’s also been giving back to the community by teaching kids math and science in her program”Science Exploration for Kids”. Maybe I’m biased, but give her award now! She’s the intangibles she needs is the poise. Poise counts!

Well the Oscar nominations have been announced, along with the finest Picture race has hit its final phase. Following a variety of ups and downs, we have our closing eight contenders. There are still four months to proceed –and lots can happen in that moment –but for now quite a bit has been illuminated, and it appears we’re down to 2 frontrunners to take home the main prize.
The first is Green Book, a film that pretty much wasn’t on anybody’s radar before it won the People’s Choice Award at TIFF–that guarantees a Best Picture nomination. It has had a rocky road since that time, struggling to fulfill its own expectations as a box office crowdpleaser and being struck with scandal after scandal. No matter Academy voters went to the feel-good drama hard, nominating it for five Oscars in total.
The reason must do with precedent, mostly. It won the Producers Guild Award, and seven of the last 10 PGA winners went on to win Best Picture. It’s a major harbinger for Oscar glory, although it can at times overlook as in the cases of La La Land and The Big Short. However, the PGA is not the only decoration Green Book has. It won the Golden Globe for Best Drama and picked up nominations from all the major guilds, from the DGA to the WGA to the SAG awards. It also carries with it important Oscar nominations which are harbingers of Oscar glory, most especially Best Film Editing. Indeed, the finest Picture winner has scored a Best Film Editing nomination almost every year for the previous two decades.

Pictures The major knock against Green Book winning Best Picture is it’s a divisive movie. Since the Academy uses a preferential ballot method to vote for Best Picture–meaning voters rank their choices from favorite to least favorite–movies that are well-liked often do better (view: The Shape of Water) than the ones which are either loved or loathed (see: Three Billboards).
The other significant contender to pull off the W, to my mind, is Roma. The film faced an uphill struggle not just because of perceived bias against Netflix within the Academy, but also due to the fact that it’s a lengthy, black-and-white, Spanish-language play with no movie stars. And the artistry of the film is undeniable, and it scored a whopping 10 Oscar nominations. It’s among the year’s most critically acclaimed films, and director/writer/producer/cinematographer/co-editor Alfonso Cuaron has picked up a number of Best Director and Best Picture trophies across the critics circuit. If Green Book is this year’s La La Land–a commercial, adore it/hate it struck –then Roma can certainly be this season’s Moonlight. And most of us know how that turned out.
Roma has additionally picked up considerable guild support, also if Cuaron wins the Directors Guild of America award that could tip the movie over the border into solid frontrunner status. The arguments against Roma winning are, nicely, that it is a long, black-and-white, Spanish-language play free of film stars–i.e. it’s possible not all Academy Republicans will venture to really watch the movie. There is also the perceived Netflix prejudice, but given the significant theatrical push and enormous awards campaign that Netflix was running, I have a sense that is fading a little. Plus, tons of Oscar Republicans are currently working or have worked on a Netflix movie at this point.

Enthusiastic and Victoria Beckham have hit at fake news created by social media that caused fevered online speculation the couple would be to divorce.
Claims the few were to split started circulating on Twitter on Friday morning as well as motivated a high street bookmakers to suspend betting on them getting a divorce.
But suggestions of a’Bexit’ – a disbanding of Britain’s biggest star manufacturer – were scoffed at by the couple.
The rumours were denied by the Beckhams, obviously exasperated by the pace with which the internet can relay gossip as truth but unchecked.

A spokesman for Victoria Beckham, the former Spice Girl turned fashion designer, said:”If I spent my time reacting to ridiculous Beckham gossip and rumours there wouldn’t be enough hours in the day. What nonsense. Journalist Chinese whispers and bogus news fuelled by social networking. There’s no impending statement, no divorce”
David Beckham’s spokesman said:”It’s nonsense. It is one of those ridiculous, crap items. There is no divorce. It’s laughable.”

The couple have four children together – sons Brooklyn, 19; Romeo, 15; Cruz, 13; and six-year-old daughter Harper.
David, the former footballer, and Victoria, the ex-pop star, tied the knot in July 1999 and became famous as”Posh and Becks”.
They met in a charity soccer game 21 decades back when David played for Manchester United and his future spouse was Victoria Adams – or Posh Spice from the Spice Girls.
On Friday morning, Victoria posted an image on Instagram of her cuddling Harper and wrote:”We love and miss you David Beckham.”

–‘America’s Got Talent’ has returned for the 12th year on NBC.
–Live shows will go back on August 15. Present-day programs are recorded auditions.
–Episode 5 will broadcast Tuesday, June 27 at 8 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
The SPORTS BETTING EXPERTS policy of’America’s Got Talent’ will return at full power in mid-August when the dwell episodes start. Current programs are taped audition footage which will narrow down the contestant field down to a more reasonable number before the start of live broadcasts from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
Like most reality TV shows the rules, judging criteria and format are completely malleable. There’s no fixed amount of contestants that will be left at the beginning of live broadcasts. From the past 11 seasons that this has ranged from a low of 20 in Season 2 to as many as 60. The’Closing 36′ is a common line of demarcation for the achievement of an act and that is also a very likely number that will stay on August 15.
Broadly speaking,’America’s Got Talent’ utilizes the familiar reality show format which mixes the result of the judges’ evaluations with an audience answer element. There are a Couple of twists, however, that have become a recurring feature of the series but also may be altered at any time:
–The XAs you’ve probably guessed, the’X’ is bad news for contestants. The X is emblematic of a judge’s extreme disapproval of a functionality. It functions in much the same manner as the’gong’ on’The Gong Show’. Just 1 judge’s’gong’ can end an act’s performance on’The Gong Show’ but on’America’s Got Talent’ it takes an’X’ from each judge. Typically, this means that the action has’the hook’ and is removed from further competition but there are some exceptions.
–The Golden Buzzer: The’Golden Buzzer’ was introduced in Season Nine and conveys god-like powers of salvation on the judges. Each judge can utilize one’Golden Buzzer’ per time but when they perform here’s what happens–that the action in question cannot be eliminated regardless of the amount of’X’s’ and more significantly they advance directly to the live show. It should be said that the host of this series enjoys this awesome responsibility together with the four candidates.
–Audience Reaction: The viewing audience doesn’t have some god-like powers of salvation like conveyed from the’Golden Buzzer’ but they do have the ability to influence a judge’s vote with their response to a performance. Actually, since reality shows don’t have any difficulty making up or changing the rules as they go together a solid’pop up’ in the crowd can save a job from elimination.
SEASON TWELVE SPECIFICS
The host for Season Twelve is former supermodel Tyra Banks. This is her first season as host replacement Nick Cannon who had held the position for the past eight seasons. Initially, it was declared that Cannon would be returning Twelve but a nasty show biz spat between himself, NBC and the show’s producers left him on the workouts. Here’s the narrative –Cannon announced in mid-February that he will be resigning as host citing the old standby’creative differences’. Some media wags indicated it had been a’you can not fire me because I quit’ situation. Cannon had allegedly made disparaging comments about NBC in his Showtime standup special. NBC refused to accept Cannon’s resignation and there was a speculation he would be sued for violation of contract. Ultimately, cooler heads prevailed and the network settled on Banks.
The four judges are familiar faces on the reality show circuit and return to get the second season as a group. They are Mel B (aka the artist formerly known as’Scary Spice’ in the Spice Girls), Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell. Klum is the sole judge that has not’taken her wad’ on the’Golden Buzzer’ this season. Mel B pressed it for 12-year-old singing ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer in the summer premiere. In the second installment, Simon Cowell resisted the’Golden Buzzer’ for deaf singer Mandy Harvey. In the third episode, Howie Mandel annointed 16-year-old previously blind singer Christian Guardino. Last week, Tyra Banks thus issued forth the wonderful power of the’Golden Buzzer’ for a dance team known as Light Balance. According to the principles, the aforementioned quartet of contestants are ensured a place in the last 36 (or whatever number remains at the start of live programming). They are the only contestants which have so far advanced out of the audition stage.
‘America’s Got Talent’ has been a huge ratings winner for NBC in Season 12. The show is in fact the highest rated non-sports program of this month and much more impressively appears to be keeping it’s audience from 1 week to the next. There is a fantastic likelihood that the series will obtain another evaluations bulge once live broadcasts begin on August 15.
SPORTS BETTING EXPERTS will have a complete card of’America’s Got Talent’ odds when the live programs start and the contestant area is finalized. In the meantime, Here Is a selection of betting odds in advance of Episode 5:
‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ SEASON 12 PROPOSITION BETTING ODDS

With little over seven weeks to go before the October election, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are trailing the Conservatives in the polls of Andrew Scheer. Their chances of winning re-election are greater than a coin-flip.
But the Liberals have been in a strong position to secure a second term.
Things can change rapidly in public view, especially when a controversy such as the affair blows up in an election year. Between now and Oct. 21, when Canadians are scheduled to visit the polls, voting goals are likely to change again. And again.
The CBC’s Canada Poll Tracker will follow the pros and cons of public opinion straight through to election day. The Poll Tracker is an aggregation of publicly available polls which weights every survey by date, sample pollster and size history. (Complete methodology )

Poll Tracker: Conservatives lead over Liberals slides to 3 factors More than 150 national polls were printed in the. The Poll Tracker boils those different surveys down into a set of numbers that may be monitored over time.
That consensus now gives the Conservatives the lead — their first lead in the polls because the prime minister trip to India over one year.

Rule #1: Seeing the films nominated for the Oscars does not help you accurately predict who’ll win the Oscars

Rule #2: Paying attention to sites watching Oscar voters will help you accurately forecast the winners. In fact, I’d posit that someone who has watched none of those nominated movies but has followed Oscar Watch for the last two weeks will perform miles better than a movie fan who has been running around like a mad bastard trying to get all the nominated movies in front of their face in order to become”educated” whenever they cast their ballot.
Rule #3: When in doubt, go with the assumption that the most significant block of voters will behave less like curators of superior film and more like high school pupils opting a prom court.
I haven’t watched all the films which were nominated. I have seen less than half of these, in fact. This makes me educated on what has been nominated than large swaths of this Academy. And because I’m cleanly divorced from the idea that the supply of these treasured golden dildoes is based on merit, forecasting the Oscars is a totally mercenary exercise. That it should be, if you’re going to get the most pleasure from this glittery gladhandjob erupting this coming Sunday.
After the jump, your Oscar Ballot Cheat Sheet. Follow it carefully if you want to tidy up at whatever party you are attending (we suggest either the Hollywood Theatre’s shindig, or ShanRock’s Trivia and watching party), and read my explanations as to why those are the smart picks, and so you need to trust me because I am hardly wrong about whatever. Ever. Really.

The Whys and Wherefores:
The Academy does not reward comedies when they could reward an extremely significant movie instead. So comedies like Wolf of Wall Street and American Hustle are right out. So are sci-fi films, and movies with notions which are generally”weird.” Those kinds of movies have been relegated to Screenplay nominations, normally. That is their consolation prize. This is the reason 12 Years will take Best Picture. I really don’t think they are going to split Picture and Director, either. Rewarding the movie is a concept in and of itself (similar to Crash was when it won), giving Steve McQueen and John Ridley figurines will populate that message: that the Academy is a thoughtful, compassionate group of people. They’re not, but they love pretending they are. These are people who appreciate the power of story, particularly if this storyline is about them and will make them feel great about themselves. The standard of the film is secondary to its capacity to help deliver that message.

July 4 is two weeks off and Las Vegas is currently putting gambling odds Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
The over/under for the number of hot dogs consumed by the men’s winner is put at 73.5, based on Covers.
By swallowing 74 hot dogs and buns champion Joey Chestnut establish a contest record last year. The previous record was. The odds for Chestnut winning this year’s men’s division are -888.
Whilst swallowing 37 dogs, miki Sudo defended her crown and won her fifth successive title. The chances for her to take home her Mustard Belt are set at -1229.
Vegas also expects that the women’s winner will beat Sudo’s hot puppy count from the past year, with the over/under in 38.5. Sonya”The Black Widow” Thomas holds the record for most wieners and buns ever downed in the women’s competition with 45.

Caution: spoilers for many previously aired”Game of Thrones” year 8 are ahead!
The concluding episode of”Game of Thrones” will air on Sunday, May 19, and with it, presumably, will come an end to the eight-season-long war of series for rule of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
For lovers of this HBO fantasy collection that is gritty, that means this series finale will almost certainly see a king of queen of Westeros crowned. But in a series which subverts the narrative if that’s even the case of medieval fantasy stories, who knows?
There are so many enthusiast theories, prophecies and predictions which have come and gone and in this season, they’ve mostly goneas the TV series has long past outpaced the”A Song of Ice and Fire” novels upon which they were based.
So unlike in many previous seasons, not long-time super-fans really have a leg up on the regular audiences when it comes to understanding how it will all wrap up. None of our Azor Ahai guesses, valonqar concepts or L+R=J confirmations will help us today: CleganeBowl has come and gone, the Night King is a pile of slush, and Queen Cersei is buried beneath smoldering rubble (in addition to the rest of King’s Landing).
So since we do not have some source material to go by, we travelled with teh next best thing: the forecasts from the Odds Shark website, which has odds set for everything from”Will ____________ survive the last episode?” To that will speak this episode’s line to the chances on the many ways Jon Snow may expire.
Here are a couple of of the biggest and most interesting odds rankings – notice the bigger the number, the less you’d get on a wager, and so the more likely they believe it to be.

They are…that the 2018 Oscars odds, brought to you by somebody who has not watched a movie in theatres this year and will not till Star Wars comes out. On a related note, The Jedi is +300 just to be nominated for Best Picture at BetOnline. You can not tell me a Sundance Film Festival crap is far better than Star Wars. Perhaps it has better cinematic motifs or something, but there is NO WAY you’re departing the theater after viewing The Florida Project than Star 29, entertained. There is a reason why the prior just earned three million at the box office while The Jedi will earn more than several tiny countries’ annual GDPs.
I suppose you haven’t seen most of these movies, unless you are an goon. Sure, there are a few larger films out there. I really just watched Get Out a few weeks ago…sort of underwhelmed if I am being truthful. Do not get me wrong, I can enjoy/understand some”artsy” films, but if they compelled me to see Citizen Kane in this movie course I took in college, I literally fell asleep I was so freakin’ bored.
It would appear as if Dunkirk is expected to be this year’s”it” movie. Maybe not Stephen King’s It, but the movie that induce viewers to lash out at the TV each time and will win like 12 distinct awards they’re called up.
I cinephile so I’m not going to analyze the odds for these. Perhaps go to the A.V. Club or another site for actual analysis on the films and actors.
