The Oscars are a chance to see Hollywood’s brightest stars receive accolades for their work within the past year, listen to acceptance speeches of the great, bad and sometimes long varieties, and, for lots of people, a opportunity to create some friendly wagers. For amusement purposes only of course.
Gambling on the Oscars remains illegal in areas like Las Vegas even as gaming has expanded in the US recently. Betting on events with predetermined outcomes is never justified there. But that does not mean there are not chances being laid on the show. We looked at the site GoldDerby to find out who is a favorite (or a Favourite) and who is a longshot.
