Oscars betting odds have one lock this year and it is Heath Ledger to win the Best Supporting Actor award. Oscars betting odds are already out and Ledger is -2500 to win the award. That means you have to risk $2,500 to win $100 on Ledger in the Academy Awards betting odds
Oscars betting odds are usually not this one-sided but in this category they are. None of the other candidates are given any chance in Oscars betting odds. Ledger’s performance in “The Dark Knight” was brilliant and he will almost assuredly win in Oscars betting odds. Normally in Academy Awards betting odds you can make at least some case for the longshots but not this time. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Josh Brolin, Michael Shannon and Robert Downey Jr. will just be at the Academy Awards for the show.
Ledger will win in Oscars betting odds for a variety of reasons, including his performance. He will win the award posthumously since he died at the age of 28 due to a prescription drugs overdose. He will become only the second actor to win an Oscar posthumously. Peter Finch won in 1976 for his performance in “Network.” Ledger won the Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actor and his win was extremely popular.
“The Dark Knight” was also shutout of major award nominations, particularly Best Picture and Best Director Oscars betting odds. That is another reason Ledger will win going away in Oscars betting odds. This is the second Oscar nomination for Ledger. He was nominated in Oscars betting odds in 2006 for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Rarely in Academy Awards betting odds do you have such an overwhelming favorite and such a lock. In gambling the word lock is rarely used and most of the times it is not the case. With Ledger in Oscars betting odds though the word definitely applies. There is obviously no value in a 25-1 favorite in Oscars betting odds but Ledger is undoubtedly going to win so there is absolutely no value wagering against him in Academy Awards betting odds.
