Not all Oscars betting markets are created equal. In some categories, the winner is all but certain, which could make wagering on them a little less fun. But if some New Jersey bookmakers offer a deeper selection of categories to bet on, there are plenty of competitive races that could attract plenty of action.<\/p>\n

Naturally, Best Picture should be the most popular betting market. According to William Hill, \u201cRoma\u201d (8\/11) is favored to take down the award. However, both \u201cGreen Book\u201d (7\/2) and \u201cThe Favourite\u201d (7\/1) are also considered contenders, and almost every film outside of \u201cVice\u201d (50\/1) could potentially go into the night of the awards with some chance of victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Best Actor is also a competitive race, even if there are only two true contenders. Rami Malek (4\/9) is the top choice for his depiction of Freddie Mercury in \u201cBohemian Rhapsody,\u201d but Christian Bale (7\/4) is right behind him after playing Dick Cheney in \u201cVice.\u201d<\/p>\n
For those willing to dive into the technical categories, Best Film Editing should also provide plenty of drama at the Oscars. \u201cThe Favourite\u201d is \u2013 appropriately \u2013 the favorite at 11\/10. But \u201cVice\u201d (11\/8) is given almost an equal chance of coming away with the prize, while \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d (13\/2) is also very much in the race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
