Oscar Awards 2018 Betting

[drmarcobelli]

Damn this is interesting!
Never placed a bet on something like this. Could give it a try 
Would love Margot to win hah, but it wont happen

Let's just go safe for the smallest odds.

[chris200x9]

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

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.

People still remembering this site this was an excellent site for all types of sports betting. whenever this kind of events will come we will miss this Directbet. Come to the topic it is good to see we can place our bets on Oscar awards and this is really a good and short time to make some money will check and place my bets later.

I was doing it everytime there is an oscar award. I am always doing it with my sister. We are fun of Oscars and I really appreciate their talents and skills.

@drmarcobelli. Yes, I Tonya is a great movie. It showed how the system was against her all along, and that she was really America's best ice skater at that time, but the governing body favored Nancy Kerrigan because she was a sweet heart, while Tonya was white trash.

Tonya was really a victim of an unfair system.

@josephine85. What do you and your sister do?

Thanks for starting this thread. Guillermo del Toro is a lock for Best Director, IMHO. Put some $ down on him before the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTAs), but he strengthened his case as the runaway favorite when he took the award over Nolan (who is a British director).

Odds have definitely reflected that from the -200ish -> -1000+ drop since then, but I still think there is value there if you can find it at -1000 or less (Bovada, BetOnline) for a 10%+ ROI.

Coco is another lock, but the odds are ridiculous on that one now (like -4000, -5000 range).

BOL

Can't believe The Shape of Water is favourite in Best picture. Quite boring and too much extended. I don't think that my personal favourite Dunkirk  shipped it. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing.

I totally agree! But definitely late right now, as the odds have shifted quite a lot from when they started. Guess the early birds are getting this one pretty good.

Would love to bet on Coco though, my kid loved it (though not a factor that should really affect the judging, but maybe the kids are on to something).

Anyhow in the event of Oscar, now gambling websites were ready to profit a good sum. People have already begun the spending on Oscar events which is scheduled after a week's time. Anyhow wishes for every gamblers who have hard plans to make a bigger earning through these events.

[bbc.reporter]

@A Confused Shoe. The odds for Guillermo del Toro is -1205. To win $100 you have to make a bet worth $1205. If you make a bet of $100, you win only $8.30. Taking on odds that high is not worth it.

The best way to bet in the Oscars is to make bets in the minor categories hehehe.

As an example, look at the Best Sound Mixing category. I reckon The Baby Driver +500 has a good chance to win versus the favorite which is the movie Dunkirk -714.

[A Confused Shoe]

Yeah, the odds really aren't great, but I really consider it almost a 100% lock that he will win it for Best Director so if you can get an opportunity to grow your bankroll by 10% for (in my eyes) a near certain win, it's worth the risk for me, IMO. But I definitely can understand why others may take a pass on it, especially if they don't share my sentiment.

Yeah, I think Baby Driver has some good value over Dunkirk in that category for like 0.5 unit or so.

[Theb]

Jordan Peele can be the dark horse here and I think he might have a good chance of winning the best director awards. Everyone was surprised as a comedian like Jordan can create a master piece like. His new concept on how the Horror Genre can be is good, no jump scares, no sudden ghost appearances he has done a horror movie that can possibly happen. Although it is a long shot with all the big names out there like Guillermo del Toro and Christopher Nolan but I'll be happy to see him win.

I've found this thread because I was looking for where can I bet on the Oscars, but ufortunately I can't access nitrogensports from where I live.

The owner of this website (nitrogensports.eu) has banned the country or region your IP address is in from accessing this website.

Since for some reasons I don't like using VPN, I want to ask you guys where else can I bet on the Oscars?

Regardless, I want to give you, gamblers, a pro tip.

Although I respect the Academy Awards and mostly I agree with their decisions I've noticed that the awards are not necessarily go to those who deserved them the most. Sometimes the decisions are political in a sense. And that's why I'm pretty sure that this year Lady Bird will take an Oscar either in the Best Picture category or in Best Director, or even in both. Since the odds for this picture are ML 9.000 (+800) and ML 7.850 (+685) respectively, I think it's prettty safe to make those two bets. Only, please don't bet more than you can afford to lose because like always anything can happen.

I personally like Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Get Out much more than Lady Bird, but I think that taking into account the recent "Me Too" movement's popularity, my favorite movies have less chances to be awarded.

[Taki]

It is really possible to make bets on everything! What gamblers humans really are! I am going to vote for "I Tonya", I think everything about this movie has a good chance to become a winner.

Bovada, Betonline are a few others that have Academy Awards props that also take bitcoin. Not sure about location restrictions based on where you are though...

It was the first site I noticed to have this fully available and I think they offered all categories including best score and best animated short, which Nitrogensports didn't last time I checked what they had available but OneHash does offer best animated (breadwinner being the favorite this year! )
Here is what I gathered about them offering it this year.

Noticed while searching on the site that you are offering bets on the Oscars for some of the main categories (but not all of them) but a good amount of them available.
Didn't know other than NitrogenSports offered Oscars odds so it is a welcome addition to those who do not use that site (such as myself included) and wanted an alternative site to go to(I used DirectBet.eu during last years) so to place their bets since it is only about 4 days away.
Here is the link if anybody doesn't know how to navigate the site because I did a search on the main page and nothing came up so had to go to the special events section and in entertainment to find it.

Thanks for your suggestion, but unfortunately I have a similar issue with Bovada too. Although I can access the site I can't register there because when I try I get this message:

We’ve detected a location outside of our service area.

Regarding Betonline I don't think I want to register there because while googling about them I came across this thread on bitcointalk where most posters call them scammers:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1795588.0

So, the question remains open for me. Where can I bet on Oscars 2018 with BTC?

[bbc.reporter]

@Betwrong. Try 5dimes.eu. I reckon they still accept bitcoin deposits and payouts. But I am not sure if they have Oscars betting this year.

Is there another reason why you were not allowed to register in Nitrogensports?  I reckon it does not matter what country you come from because they do allow anonymous and temporary accounts.

[A Confused Shoe]

So, the question remains open for me. Where can I bet on Oscars 2018 with BTC?

Hm, so Bovada/Nitrogen don't work for you and you don't trust BetOnline. Consider 5Dimes (use bitcoin only, they've had issues with CC fraud in the past), Bookmaker, Heritage, Intertops, MyBookie, Sportsbook, BetDSI, and TopBet. Someone mentioned that list to me and I think they all have the Oscars. 5Dimes, Bookmaker, Heritage are probably your best options.

@bbc.reporter - Nitrogen Sports actually doesn't allow bettors from certain countries. I think the list is always changing, but it is something like Russia, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Brazil, UK and Greece.

[bitcoinmaster44]

On OneHash are pretty sweet odds on Oscars betting.

My bets:

Director: Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk x 11

Supporting Actor: Woody Harrelson, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” x 4,75

Original Screenplay: The Shape of Water x 16

@A Confused Shoe, thanks for your suggestions! I've tried some of them and here are the results:

5Dimes (5dimes.eu) denies access from my area.

On Heritage (heritagesports.eu) the minimum withdrtawal amount is $100 worth of BTC, which is much more than I can play with. Same situation with Intertops (intertops.eu), $100 min. Also I don't like losing my privacy and here's what they write on their site:

Pease note, in order to complete your first payout request we must verify the accuracy of all Intertops account information registered upon sign-up. For your protection and security we kindly request the documentation listed below be sent via email attachment to documents@intertops.ag.

Valid Picture ID (such as Driver’s License or Passport)
Recent Utility Bill (dated within the last 2 months – verifying your address)

But finally I've found what I was looking for. Bookmaker (bookmaker.eu) - accepting Bitcoin ($10 min deposit), accepting bets on Osacrs and is alllwoing me to register. But what happened 10 minutes later after my registration was a bit unexpected. After clicking Cashier I got this message:

Your account might have limited access.

And after talking with the Support I finally got this reply from them:

Thank you Sir you account as per international regulation you are not allowed to have one.

And now I can't even access the site, getting this: 502 Bad Gateway. Thay blocked me right after my registration.

I'm not mad. This is funny actually. Maybe there are too many hackers in the area where I live, so they have to block the whole area.

Anyway, I think I will try to bet on Oscars next year. Thanks for your help though.
