2011 Oscar Bets by Geoff Mackay

by Geoff Mackay on February 25, 2011

One of the funniest proposition bets to make is betting on the Oscars. Now you can bet on almost any category you want. The King’s Speech leads the way for best picture this year by a large margin at -600.

If you really want a long shout you can bet on The Kids Are All Right to win best picture. A 100 dollar bet will make you 50,000

Colin Firth also leads the way in the best actors category at -6000, while Natalie Portman from Black Swan is the Best Actress favorite at -1200.

Believe me betting on the Oscars is a good way to pass the 4 or 5 hours watching it with the wife. Since there is no football there is no excuse you can give your wife.

by Geoff Mackay on February 16, 2011

Since football is over now over there has been an itch for me to bet on something.  Thank god for online sportsbooks where you can be on anything.

Some good betting options are NBA prop bets for the NBA All Star game.

Bodog the leading online sports book has just released the online NBA props bets for the game that will be played on February 20, 2011 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, home of the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
