How to Bet on the Oscars
Online bookmakers are preferable to bookie shops when it comes to placing Oscars bets. The main Oscars markets will be available in high street bookmakers but visiting one of the top Oscars betting sites is a better option as they cater best to all of your entertainment betting needs.
The sites that you can sign up to will depend on your location as each province has its own set of laws regarding online betting. In some cases your only option may be to sign up with an offshore operator. In some provinces the laws have recently changed. For example, Ontario Sports Betting has recently been legalised. So, be sure to check what options you have in your province in advance of signing up for any betting site.
It's wise to keep track of odds movement on your favourite Oscars betting site throughout the prior year and it's also a good idea to check back in when awards season gets up and running. As the night draws closer, Oscar betting really starts to heat up as more markets are added.
What are the Other Major Movie Awards?
The biggest movers of the Oscars betting odds are the three other major awards: the Golden Globes, the Critic's Choice, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
It is always worth keeping an eye on these during awards season, in the early part of each year, as they have a major impact on Oscars betting odds. Many of the Academy's voting membership constitutes the guilds deciding these earlier awards, so can often act as an indication as to who'll go home with a statue.

Best Oscars Markets to Bet on
In terms of popularity, right behind Best Picture betting comes Best Actor betting, and the odds on Best Actress. These are the three most important titles, and Oscars betting markets, but there are plenty of others. Here are the six key betting markets that you can place Oscars bets on:
- Best Picture - Betting on which film will land the biggest Oscar of them all is the biggest betting event at the Academy Awards. This market can swing any which way and it's not always the favourite that wins.
- Best Actor - This award goes to an actor who played a leading role, with the Best Actor odds showing a strong preference for actors who played a real person, rather than a fictional character in recent times. In 2019 Rami Malek (Freddie Mercury) became the seventh actor in 10 years to win an Oscar for that kind of role, but Joaquin Phoenix bucked that trend at last year's Oscars for his performance in Joker.
- Best Actress - Like Best Actor, Best Actress is for a leading role, and the betting often becomes clearest after the Screen Actor's Guild Awards. In the past 11 years, nine of the actresses who won top prize there, also won the Oscar. They and the Golden Globes boast 70% strike rates in the last 20 years.
- Best Director - There are few surprises in this Oscars betting market, with favourites winning often, and at odds-on a lot of the time. However, 2020 saw Parasite make history as the first foreign-language movie to win Best Picture, with its South Korean director Bong Joon-ho scooping Best Director.
- Best Original Song - Odds on this Academy Award are popular because so many well-known music artists are in the betting. Recently the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Sam Smith and Adele have been among the winners.
You can actually bet on almost any Academy Award, with odds opening on more and more titles as the big night approaches - and, you will also be able to place a bet on markets like, 'Who will give the longest acceptance speech?' and 'Will the same film win Best Picture and Best Director?'.

Oscars Betting Tips
Betting on the Oscars is tricky. It's not like betting on sports when nobody knows the outcome. However, our top Oscars betting tip is to follow the three preceding major awards. In the past 20 years:
- The Critic's Choice Awards have proven most predictable, their winners of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture going on to win the Oscar 59% of the time.
- The Golden Globes have the worst record, just 58% of their winners taking an Oscar.
- Best Actor at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards has won 80% of the corresponding Oscars since 1999, with 9/10 Best Actors from those awards, and from the Golden Globes, also landing the Oscar.
- Best Actresses from the Screen Actors Guild's score best at the Oscars too, with an 80% strike-rate since 2009.
- It's worth noting that only one Best Actor in the last 20 years had not won at least one of the big three first (Adrien Brody), and that only two actresses emulated him (Olivia Colman and Marion Cotillard).
That is not a foolproof Oscars betting system, but it does narrow the field of odds. The next tip to consider when betting on the Academy Awards is to follow social issues, and other Oscars trends. For example:
- Real People - 13 of the last 19 Best Actors won for playing real people, like 2017 winner Gary Oldman (Winston Churchill), including the last two. This used to be a good system for betting on all of the acting roles, but for women that had changed, until Olivia Colman (Queen Anne) sprung a surprise in 2019 and that was followed up by Renee Zellweger (Judy Garland) last year.
- Moonlight - #Oscarssowhite, or Oscars Whitewash, was a movement protesting against the lack of color in the Oscars nominations in 2016. The Academy stressed it would address this, so there were non-white nominations for 2017 - and it could be argued, there had to be a major winner. Moonlight, an independently-made film about a young black man, won Best Picture.
- MeToo - Female empowerment dominated Hollywood, and the world, in 2017, and was like many major social issues, reflected in the Oscars. James Franco, who won the Golden Globe for Best Actor, Musical or Comedy, and was a short price in the Oscars odds, was not nominated after being accused of sexually-exploitative behaviour. The following year, Best Picture was won by a film with a dominant female lead for the first time since 2004 - with The Shape Of Water winning the big prize.
