    It’s Big Game Sunday, so it’s only appropriate to supply you with a first look at the MyBookie.ag betting lines. I’ve been scouring the betting lines at my three preferred sportsbooks, so it was refreshing to finally see some lines from MyBookie. The odds for most categories are similar to other sportsbooks, except for one.…

    Moonlight The first year we made it a personal mission to watch every single nominee was the first year I started betting on the Oscars: the year Moonlight won in 2017 (for the 2016 film year.) After watching all the nominees, it clicked for me that Moonlight would pull the upset over La La Land…

    This post is highlighting the race for Best Animated Feature. No one will argue that Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is the frontrunner, but I will argue that its status as frontrunner is more fragile than many are wanting to admit. Right now, Bovada has a betting line of -1200, which is an implied probability of…

    The Oscar nominations are out! Which means this is a golden opportunity to place some bets on major value. Let’s take a look. Bovada is my only sportsbook that has updated betting lines right now. Brendan Fraser -150 Sure, The Whale didn’t get a Best Picture nomination nor did it get an Adapted Screenplay nomination,…

    I usually shy away from Oscar predictions because I’m usually pretty terrible at it, but then again, so is everyone else. No offense. The 4th and 5th nominees in each category are where it goes bad for everyone, so in that spirit, there are some left field predictions here. PICTURE DIRECTOR LEAD ACTOR LEAD ACTRESS…

    If you’re reading this, you’re probably in the playoffs. To that, I say, “CONGRATULATIONS!” Getting to the playoffs is no easy task. That means waiver wire players need to get you Oscar nominations on Tuesday, January 24. This is where fantasy points offer little help, so you’ll have to go to outside resources. GoldDerby, NextBestPicture,…

    It has been a while since I’ve done a reaction, but the BAFTA’s are worthy of such a reaction. The BAFTA’s have their own quirks, but they do shed a little light on where film industry leaders are placing their preferences for award-worthy work, some of which who are also Academy Award voters. Let’s take…

    This is the LAST matchup of the regular season. You might be fighting for that last playoff spot, or maybe you’re fighting for a bye week in the first round of the playoffs. Either way, you might be able to find some help on the waiver wire. As always, the best resource for waiver wire…

    LOTS of major precursor awards have announced, and the Oscar picture is becoming clearer. Or muddier. Take your pick that fits your own narrative. The good news, is that I’ve found some value in betting picks. MyBookie doesn’t currently have Academy Awards lines, but Bovada and BetUS do. As always, these are my preferred three…
