‘12 Years a Slave’ Odds to Win Academy Award Best Picture – Best Odds

Matthew McConaughey Odds of Winning an Oscar Sort of a ‘Lock’
When you have certain Academy Awards categories with a nominee favored at -2000 odds, -700 for Matthew McConaughey might not necessarily be considered a “lock” per se. One would have to bet $70 to win $10 at WagerWeb.com (with the $70 refunded assuming McConaughey were to win).

The odds to win Best Director at the 2014 Oscars at Alfonso Cuaron a huge -3000 favorite (and pretty much unbeatable) for “Gravity”. All Oscar odds were available at WagerWeb.com here.

Sure it’s easy money but the risk is just way too high.
Odds to Win Best Actress – 2014 Oscars
The odds to win the Best Actress at the 2014 Oscars had Cate Blanchett as a runaway lock of -2200 for her role in “Blue Jasmine”. Basically it is impossible to place a bet on this category as the risk vs. reward makes zero sense. The field had odds of +1200.
Odds to Win Best Picture – 2014 Oscars: ’12 Years a Slave’ vs. Field
