And it looks like the betting public had a profitable evening with their Academy Award bets.
\nAs expected, the real action showed up on the major categories, and as stated, the betting public scored an almost perfect night.<\/p>\n
By the time the Slumdog Millionaire cast and crew congregated on stage to celebrate winning the movie of the year, there had been a parade of odds on favorites hitting the stage.<\/p>\n
– The biggest favorite of the night, and dare we say, the only \u201cLock\u201d of the night was given in the Best Supporting Actor category. The late Heath Ledger won this award, posthumously, for his brilliant interpretation of the Joker. Virtually 100% of the action in this category was on Ledger.<\/p>\n
-Kate Winslet was a small favorite, but she finally added an Oscar to her trophy case, taking this year\u2019s Best Actress for her role in The Reader. Bettors lined up behind her with 50% of all the action in this category at SPORTSBETTING.COM<\/a><\/strong> getting it right with Winslet.<\/p>\n -When Sean Penn tipped his hat to \u201cCommie, Homo loving sons of guns,\u201d after winning the Best Actor award for his performance in Milk, it was the only category that bettors didn\u2019t clearly win. The comeback player of the decade, Mickey Rourke, had bettors backing his \u201cfeel-good\u201d story, as both he and Penn were running about 50-50 in terms of action in this one.<\/p>\n -Pen\u00e9lope Cruz took home Best Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and also was a winner for the bettors.<\/p>\n -Best Director went to Danny Boyle who directed the night\u2019s big winner, Slumdog Millionaire. Boyle\u2019s win was predicted by 70% of the bettors who risked a few dollars in this category.<\/p>\n For prop bettors here are some tidbits that will interest you. Sean Penn thanked his Best Friend in his acceptance speech, which doesn\u2019t count as God, Family, or the Academy but Something Else and paid out at -110 and seeing as he didn\u2019t cry, but was rather jovial, \u201cNo\u201d bettors saw little profit at -400.<\/p>\n Kate Winslet \u201creigned in the emotions\u201d as the independent.co.uk<\/a><\/strong> reported, meaning she didn\u2019t cry, meaning people who bet on \u201cNo\u201d in the \u201cWill the Best Actress Cry\u201d prop cashed in at +170\u2026but she came damn close!<\/p>\n Winslet and Penn both went over 45 seconds in their speeches, meaning \u201cYes\u201d bettors profited at -220 and -240 respectively.<\/p>\n Bettors won most of their bets, Penelope Cruz won and gave us a little more than a minute of more Penelope Cruz fantasy material and Hollywood won on what was an overall \u2018thumbs up\u201d Academy Awards night.<\/p>\n You can check out online sportsbooks<\/a><\/strong> right now for a list of other Entertainment wagers ranging from American Idol Season whatever, Survivor: Tocantins and that dancing show\u2026.if you think a female will win Donald Trump\u2019s the next Celebrity Apprentice, then surf over to SPORTSBETTING.COM<\/a><\/strong> and get your bets in.<\/p>\n The Donald is back with the second go-around of Celebrity Apprentice and the odds for the sex of the winner are -130 for a female and -110 for male.<\/p>\n Trump has assembled a motley crew of celebs including Dennis Rodman (+800), Melissa Rivers (+300) and her mother Joan (+500).<\/p>\n Andrew Dice Clay, T-Boz Watkins, Khloe Kardashian, Claudia Jordan and Playboy bunny Brande Roderick are all longshots at +1500 while poker player Annie Duke is the odds-on at +200.<\/p>\n Enjoy your week<\/p>\n The 2009 Oscars are over and online sportsbooks saw a big increase in Oscar betting volume, up next is The Donald’s celebrity apprentice, and the betting prop odds from sportsbetting.com…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[41,10748,11003,10751,11004,161,11006,11007,11002,11008,11009,1586,10740,11005,7500,10741],"class_list":["post-8858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-betting-props","tag-41","tag-2009-academy-awards-betting","tag-2009-academy-awards-betting-recap","tag-2009-oscars","tag-academy-awards","tag-betting","tag-betting-recap","tag-celebrity-apprentice","tag-celebrity-apprentice-gambling-odds","tag-celebrity-apprentice-odds","tag-celebrity-apprentice-props","tag-prop-betting","tag-prop-gambling","tag-recap","tag-sportsbettingcom","tag-sportsbettingcom-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8860,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8858\/revisions\/8860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n
