The 57th Annual Emmy Awards are fast approaching, and several bookmaker's have
already posted odds on the recently announced nominations. Nowadays,
online casino sites are offering more than just casino table games and slot
machines. Called Futures Betting, many sites are now taking wagers on
world events like governmental election, probability of natural disasters, and
even the weight of Brittany Spears newborn baby!
The Emmy Awards is not nearly as outrageous as
many of the other bets taking place online. In fact, bets on entertainment
events isn't something new. For years, bookies have been posting odds on
the Academy awards, Grammy's and other high profile music and movie awards
ceremonies. There are six categories in the current voting poll, which
include Best Lead Actor/Actress in a drama/comedy series, as well as the Best
Comedy/Drama series of the year.
If you are a television watcher, and keep up on
entertainment news, these bets are worth looking into. Often, the winner
of each category is between two contenders, with surprise upsets and long shots
hardly taking place. Even if a show comes out of left field, the press it
receives prior to the awards is very telling on just how well it will fare.
This years Emmy Awards will be airing live in
approximately two months. (Sunday, September 18) Online casinos and
bookies will be posting live odds and taking bets all the up until the day
of the event.
