Oscars 2011 Odds Best Actress: Natalie Portman 1/10 Favorite
When it comes to Oscar 2011 odds for Best Actress, Natalie Portman appears to be a pretty big “lock” at 1/10 or -1000 odds for her performance in The Black Swan.
Her closest competitor is Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right. Bening would pay out $30 for every $10 bet. All odds were courtesy of Sportsbook.com here.
While Portman’s chances are especially good, keep in mind that simply placing a bet on her is not that easy. The price is steep!
In order to win $10, one would have to place a $100 bet. As always, winning bet amounts (i.e. the $100 is placed) is refunded should she win. If you think Portman is a true “lock” and want a quick $50, you’ll need $500 to spare. Enter such a bet with the mindset that the $500 is something you can afford to lose (i.e. never bet over your head). There is always the chance – albeit small – that Portman will not win.
Gambling911.com has noted that most big favorites in nearly every Oscar category consistently win, so savvy gamblers can make a nice profit through heavy risk. In other words, expect a $1000 bet to result in a $100 win in general.
For the vast majority of bets placed, we will see the average wager around $10, if not less. In fact, most online gambling sites impose $500 maximums on Oscars betting.
