This is good to know as it is Oscar time again and betting on who will win best picture is always a favorite to bet on as I always see it as a good old past time to do.
And with the site I was using to do this on closed down mid last year
It is good to know there is another site that is offering to take wagers on these unusual requests to have something to bet on.

[terrific]

I'm into Oscars nor a fan of it.

https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/specials/academy-awards

It says
"NO GAMES OPEN FOR BETTING
CHECK BACK LATER!"
Do you have an idea on when it will open as Oscars will be on March 4?

[Ochkarik]

I did not think that you can bet on who will be the nominee or will receive an Oscar. It will be interesting to make a few bets on the prospective winners.

[kiindje]

I'm also waiting Nomination betting is fun every year.

Dunkirk will take it. Blade Runner doesn't have any chances - the slowest movie I've seen from a long time!

[bbc.reporter]

@kiindje. My bet is the Shape of Water which is directed by Guillermo del Toro. It was simple but a very good movie with a classic feel. I hope the odds for it will be good enough. But if not then I will be doing a parlay for best film, best director, best actor and best actress hehehe.

yeah the shape of water is the number 1 candidate for the best pictures as they have the most nominations with 13 of them and the second favorite would be Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri as it already won a Golden Globe and a SAG award so things should be more intresting for them third film is doubtfull despite that Oscars loves WW2 movies it's just that Dunkirk do not feel that good to be an oscar winner the directing was great by Nolan but it felt that there was no screenplay so if was me i would put my money on the other two movies, the post by Spielberg could be another surprise to be honest i still didn't watch it yet but i will in the next few days.

That's a great news. For those who like sports betting this is some sort of like that and we can bet on who will get the awards. It will be great seeing the Oscars this year and at a same time wining the bets and getting some quick easy bucks.

[akishang]

It's the first time I have heard about it but it's good if we have this betting especially if you are a movie fan. Oscars always make the right choice in terms of its nominees and awardees so it will be fair to bet because whoever wins was the best in their field and they really deserve to win. That is what makes betting legit. For gamblers this is something different. They usually bet on sports not drama.Time for another movie marathon after the Oscars.

This is the kind of film most likely to win, however this year you have the wildcard of the Harvey Weinstein effect.    The oscar academy is a bit political so I dont know if the risks of a surprising result are great, perhaps odds are not as good value as they might be normally.      The big thing is that some know how the votes go, they'll know the opinions of some of the voters so this seems slightly unfair as anyone in the industry might have a better take on the current spirit or consensus voting pattern.

[NorrisK]

Is it weird that I haven't heard of many of the movies that are currently listed? Or the actors for that matter?

Thought I was keeping up quite well with movies, but now it appears I missed quite a bit.

[STT]

Depends where you are in the world, some movies take a year to get fully released across every cinema, also depends on the size of film as not every production is a blockbuster with the budget to produce alot of copies.   Obviously Oscars arent given out by blockbuster status so much, they are awarding to all sorts of small scale releases like the foreign language and special categories.

  I believe any film in 2017 is eligible ?  So that'd include some done at the last moment - Plumber with his last minute entry stop gap cover in the 'All the Money in the World (2017)' has to be one of the most surprising nominations for years.   I think he'll win it personally, it ties into the effect I mention above plus he deserves an award for his lifetimes work

[bbc.reporter]

@STT. Do not underestimate the sportsbooks. Those odds are priced that way for a reason, and they are almost 99% correct with their predictions. Your best way of doubling your bet is to do parlay of the absolute favorite in each category. Something Nitrogensports has disabled.

They also do not have the rest of the nominations like best costume and best sound editing which have the best chance for us to win some bets. Maybe they learned from last year hehehe.

[just_Alice]

Yesss, I love Oscars betting! But it's a pity that there're some most obvious prize winners for which you'll receive only small reward. On the other hand, something unpredictable may occur, like last year lots of people made their bets on "La-La-Land", even though the reward was the smallest, they were as sure about it, that put a very big money on it. And then boom! "Moonlight"... That was a true disappointment.

Book maker are quite good on creating bets. Parlay will not gonna ensure too a x2 profit since Oscar candidate has all chance of winning. I really don't know what are the basis of book maker for creating this kind of bet option.

Honestly, this is the first time I saw betting on Oscars Award. I never thought that sports betting will extend too awarding event and etc.

[bbc.reporter]

Good news! All the complete categories and updates odds are now available for betting in Nitrogensports.

[bering]

i'm not too concern about other categories but i was interested to see the winner of the best visual effects and although seeing the odds for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is very hard to be the winner of this category but i wish this movie will be the winner because i liked this movies

[reactorjuno]

Shape of Water has odds around 3.0 where I bet (3/1 or +200 depends on your favorite odds format).
This is great value in my opinion.
Also Sam Rockwell is a lock for best supporting actor, I am glad he will win it, he is so underrated and has been one of my favorite actor for years.

Actor category i expect DiCaprio to win all the time but unfortunately he missed several time. This year hope we will be under this category and wins the title too.
OneHash adding all the special event betting, hope they will add Oscar also in that list.

Did Onehash give their wagers for best picture for last years Oscars? I didn't use the site early on last year so didn't notice since I already had bets on another site I did not bother to see if any other sites offered better odds on it or not.
The only other site which I knew of at the time was Directbet.eu, well when they were still around.
