How To Bet On The 2019 Oscars in New Jersey |

The 91st edition of the Academy Awards will commence on Feb. 24. Now that sports betting is spreading across the nation, here’s a useful guide for how to wager on the Oscars this year.
Wait, you can legally bet on the Oscars?
In fact, yes. Many sportsbooks in New Jersey have created moneylines for lots of the significant categories.
Moneylines are an perfect gaming type for this kind of wagering since they are bets about the eventual winner of the Oscar. The tricky part, instead, comes on the wagering payouts and amounts.
Bettors don’t have any doubt seen moneylines earlier — they’re denoted by the three-digit number next to every selection on an chances display board. However, sportsbooks interpret those numbers based upon their sign.
A favorable moneyline is a statement regarding how much a $100 bet will cover. Therefore, a movie or celebrity listed at +200 for their category would cover $200 for a $100 bet, and the proportional equivalent for other quantities.
Conversely, a negative moneyline is the sum a bettor must bet so as for a $100 payout. Therefore, a film or celebrity listed at -200 will need a $200 bet to cover $100. To put it differently, the same $100 wager in the last paragraph would just receive a $50 settlement.
Where can someone bet about the Oscars?
At this time, there are just a few select New Jersey sportsbooks offering bets on the Academy Awards. DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, BetStars NJ, and PointsBet will accept bets on the outcome of the nominations.
More New Jersey sportsbooks will likely join these four because the ceremony draws closer. Frankly, many are probably still recovering from the Super Bowl.
But, bettors may start making wagers on those three sportsbooks. Here are a Few of the current moneylines for the Significant categories (according to FanDuel):
