Want to know where you can bet the Academy Awards online?  This year, one of the better choices is BetOnline, however, some of the odds – as with most years Oscars – are PRICEY.

This year’s more betable categories include the following:

Best Actor with Matthew McConaughey as the big favorite.  Still, at -625 odds, McConaughey is considered to have some value.  You would be betting $62.50 to win $10 (with the $62.50 almost certain to be returned since McConaughey is considered a near “lock”).  You can probably make an easy $20 with a wager of just over $120.  Does it make sense?  If you think a FREE $20 is worth it, then yes.  You are gambling so understand there is a slight risk of losing that initial $120.

We at Gambling911.com say that “12 Years a Slave” is practically a shoe-in to win as Best Picture now.  The odds have value, though pricey at -550.  A $110 bet pays $20 (again the $110 is refunded assuming “12 Years a Slave” wins).  Free $20 anyone?
