Hosting duties fall to acclaimed comedian Nate Bargatze, whose signature clean humor and rising popularity promise a night of laughs and celebration for television’s finest.

The Studio Favored To Win Big

Among the standout contenders this year is The Studio, Apple TV+’s razor-sharp Hollywood satire, which has made Emmy history by earning 23 nominations, tying the record set by The Bear in 2024. The show has captivated both audiences and critics with its witty writing, layered performances, and behind-the-scenes look at the chaos of the entertainment industry.

The Studio is widely considered the frontrunner for Best Comedy Series of 2025, and its success has positioned Apple TV+ for a potential sweep in both drama and comedy categories.

Below are the current odds from Bovada’s online sportsbook for the best comedy series.

Best Comedy Series

• The Studio -700
• Hacks +500
• The Bear +2000
• Only Murders in the Building +2500
• Shrinking +2500
• Nobody Wants This +4500
• Abbott Elementary +5000
• What We Do In The Shadows +5000

Seth Rogen Favored For Best Comedic Actor

In addition to the best comedy series nomination, Seth Rogen has been nominated for best comedy actor. Rogan has won two previous Emmy awards for his work behind the scenes on HBO’s Vice Principals; however, he has never won an Emmy award for his acting.

Best Comedy Actor

• Seth Rogen – The Studio -600
• Martin Short – Only Murders In The Building +500
• Jeremy Allen White – The Bear +1400
• Adam Brody – Nobody Wants This +3000
• Jason Segel – Shrinking +4000

Is Betting On The Emmys Risky?

Yes, any sportsbook bet is inherently risky, and betting on entertainment shows can be just as risky as betting on other sports.

For the Emmy awards, there are two rounds of voting. Actors vote for actors, and writers vote for writers. Those who receive the most votes are awarded the nomination. Once the nominations are finalized, a second round of voting will determine the winner of the Emmy.

How To Watch The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards

The 2025 Emmy Awards will air live on Sunday, September 14, at 8 p.m. You can tune into the ceremony on CBS or stream it live via Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.

If you miss the live broadcast, Paramount+ Essential subscribers can watch it on demand the following day. Red carpet coverage kicks off an hour earlier on CBS and E!, with the pre-shows hosted by entertainment personalities like Bresha Webb and Christian Siriano.

Artist of the Year

Lady Gaga -550
Taylor Swift +500
Kendrick Lamar +650
Beyonce +800
Bad Bunny +1000
The Weeknd +1000
Morgan Wallen +1400

What’s unusual is that celebrity betting sites have posted odds that include a heavy favorite in each category. While that does take a little bit of the fun out of the projections, it does offer 18-and-older gamblers a chance to earn some decent money by wagering on underdogs.

Lady Gaga is favored to win the Artist of the Year VMA, and is rated 850 points ahead of Taylor Swift in the moneyline odds. The underdog is Kendrick Lamar at +650, who inarguably had a better 12-month cycle than Lady Gaga.

Best Album

Sabrina Carpenter Short n Sweet -350
Lady Gaga Mayhem +275
Kendrick Lamar GNX +800
Bad Bunny DTMF +1000
The Weeknd Hurry Up Tomorrow +1200
Morgan Wallen I’m The Problem +1200

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n Sweet has had numerous radio-friendly tracks swimming around in our heads for the past year. She’s rated at -350 six days from the event. Once again, we like Kendrick Lamar’s GNX as an underdog contender for Best Album.

New Artist of the Year

Alex Warren -500
Lola Young +375
Sombr +475
Ella Langley +1000
Gigi Perez +1000
The Marias +12000

18+ sportsbooks are way out in front in their assessment of Alex Warren’s chances of winning the New Artist of the Year VMA. Warren’s single, ‘Ordinary,’ rose to the top of the Billboard Top 100 during the evaluation window for this year’s VMAs, which should cement the award for him as a rookie artist.

Lola Young is also a strong contender. Her single, ‘Messy,’ could resonate with some voters more so than Warren.

Video of the Year

Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us -300
Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Die with a Smile +250
Sabrina Carpenter Manchild +800
Billie Eilish BIRDS OF A FEATHER +900
Ariana Grande brighter days ahead +1000
The Weeknd & Playboi Carti Timeless +1000
ROSÉ & Bruno Mars APT +1200

Finally, the VMAs appear poised to break off some respect for Kendrick by giving him the VMA for Video of the Year. A lack of acknowledgement from MTV for the ‘Not Like Us’ video could put them at risk of further irrelevance. Tread carefully, MTV.

Song of the Year

Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars Die with a Smile -800
Billie Eilish BIRDS OF A FEATHER +400
Alex Warren Ordinary +800
ROSÉ & Bruno Mars APT. +1000
Doechii Anxiety +1400
Tate McRae Sports Car +1600
The Weeknd & Playboi Carti Timeless +1600
Lorde What Was That +2000
Ed Sheeran Sapphire +2500
Gracie Abrams I Love You, I’m Sorry +2500

The most certain winner of the night, according to the betting odds, is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars for Song of the Year with Die with a Smile. They are separated from Billie Eilish by 1,000 points, signifying a major upset if anyone but Gaga and Mars wins.

Be sure to tune in to the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday at 8 PM on CBS.

With Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ set for release, even entertainment betting sites have weighed in, offering odds on everything from its expected commercial dominance to which songs will capture listener attention. In many ways, these odds reflect not just projections about the artist’s performance but also how fans, bookmakers, and the broader entertainment economy view the potential of the upcoming amendment to the Swift phenomenon.

How Many Weeks Straight Will ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ Be #1 On The Billboard 200?

• Exactly 0 +1500
• Exactly 1 +1200
• Exactly 2 +1200
• Exactly 3 +1100
• Exactly 4 +1000
• Exactly 5 +800
• Exactly 6 +800
• Exactly 7 +700
• Exactly 8 +700
• Exactly 9 +650
• Exactly 10 +900
• Exactly 11 +700
• Exactly 12 +1000
• Exactly 13 +1200
• Exactly 14 +1200
• Exactly 15 +1200
• Exactly 16 +1200
• Exactly 17 +1200
• Exactly 18 +1500
• Exactly 19 +1500
• 20 Or More +1200

Perhaps the most significant category centers on how many consecutive weeks ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ will occupy the top spot on the Billboard 200. Odds shorten around weeks 5-9, with lines like +700 for seven or eight weeks and +650 for nine weeks.

This indicates that bookmakers consider a two-month reign the most likely scenario, aligning with historical patterns from Swift’s previous releases like Midnights and 1989 (Taylor’s Version). However, bettors willing to speculate on an extended reign may find value in the +1200 line for a run of 20 weeks or more.

Given Swift’s streaming power, physical sales strategy, and vinyl economy, such a stretch cannot be dismissed outright. The odds for betting on Taylor Swift will payout at no less than 6.5-to-1 for gamblers who wager correctly.

What Will Be The Most-Streamed Song On “The Life of a Showgirl” By October 10, 2025

• The Life of a Showgirl -245
• The Fate of Ophelia +300
• Cancelled! +900
• Elizabeth Taylor +600
• Ruin The Friendship +700
• Wood +650
• Opalite +700
• Actually Romantic +900
• Honey +1000
• Father Figure +1000
• Eldest Daughterv +1000
• Wi$h Li$t +1000

The title track, The Life of a Showgirl, is the overwhelming favorite at -245 to become the most-streamed song by October 10, 2025. Such heavy favoritism reflects a consistent pattern: title tracks and lead singles often draw the most attention in the launch window.

The Fate of Ophelia (+300) represents a potential challenger, likely due to speculation around lyrical narratives and fan anticipation. Longer-shot tracks such as Cancelled! (+900) or Actually Romantic (+900) represent wagers on virality, a common feature of modern listening habits where social media can propel a non-single into unexpected stardom.

What Will Be The Least-Streamed Song On “The Life of a Showgirl” By October 10, 2025

• Father Figure +110
• Honey +300
• Wi$h Li$t +425
• Elizabeth Taylor +425
• Wood +600
• Cancelled! +650
• Opalite +700
• Eldest Daughter +700
• Ruin The Friendship +700
• Actually Romantic +700
• The Fate of Ophelia +1000
• The Life of a Showgirl +1000

On the opposite spectrum, the market for the least-streamed song is topped by Father Figure (+110). Short odds in this category suggest bookmakers expect the song to be the least commercially resonant, though this is speculative without listeners having heard the track. Historically, ballads or experimental cuts often attract fewer streams compared to radio-ready singles. Yet surprises do occur, especially if fan campaigns emerge to boost so-called “underdog” tracks.

Will “The Life of a Showgirl” Debuts At #1 On The Billboard 200?

• Yes -100000
• No +1500

The album is a near-lock to debut at No. 1, as reflected in the extreme odds of -100,000 for that outcome. This suggests that bookmakers see its first-week triumph as virtually guaranteed. The real debate, however, surrounds how long Swift can sustain that position.

Will Taylor Swift Hold A Top Ten Spot On The Billboard Hot 100 For The Week Of October 18th?

• Yes -220
• No +155

Another compelling market asks whether Swift will once again dominate the Billboard Hot 100 to the extent of holding all top ten spots simultaneously, as she famously did with Midnights in 2022.

Here, the odds are tilted heavily toward “Yes” (-220), underscoring bookmaker confidence that lightning can strike twice.

Who Will Be Featured On ‘The Life of a Showgirl’?

• Hayley Kiyoko +1000
• Gracie Abrams +1200
• Olivia Rodrigo +1800
• Ice Spice +1100
• Post Malone +1000
• Troye Sivan +1100
• Halsey +1000
• Drake +1100
• Bon Iver +1000
• Ed Sheeran +1000
• Phoebe Bridgers +1500

The final frontier in the betting market involves potential featured artists on the album that include names like Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran, Halsey, and Post Malone. Each of the above offered potentials will award gamblers with no less than 10-to-1 payouts if wagers are placed on the correct guest star.

Bovada Sportsbook – Variety

Diddy’s trial concluded with mixed results after an eight-week federal proceeding in New York. While acquitted of the most severe charges, such as racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, he was found guilty on the transportation for prostitution charges related to arranging encounters involving former partners and others. These charges carry potential sentences of up to 10 years each, raising the stakes for Combs’ legal future.

The judge overseeing the case, Arun Subramanian, has denied multiple bail requests for Combs, citing concerns about his risk of flight and the violent footage shown during the trial. This footage revealed violent behavior by Combs toward one of his former partners, Cassie Ventura.

The court emphasized evidence of coercion, violence, and subjugation linked to the prostitution case, which set this case apart from others where bail might have been granted. Combs has remained incarcerated since his September 2024 arrest and now awaits sentencing in a federal detention facility under conditions that his attorneys critique as dangerous. However, the court asserts he is being kept safe there.

In parallel with the legal drama, the case has generated active interest at online entertainment sportsbooks. Odds have been available since his incarceration began,  offering various betting lines on possible outcomes and potential sentence lengths. The prevailing betting odds initially favored a prison sentence in the range of 11 to 15 years, but that outcome is now no longer likely due to Combs’ acquittal of most of the charges.

Sean “Diddy” Combs Official Sentence

• Over 3.5 Years -120
• Under 3.5 Years -120

BetOnline/BetUS

Prosecutors have recently indicated they expect Combs to receive a sentence “substantially higher” than the previously anticipated four to five years, which reflects the gravity with which the court views his crimes and the aggravating factors such as violence and coercion.

Their opposition to bail and insistence on a harsh sentence underscore the fierce prosecutorial stance. Conversely, Combs’ lawyers argue that proper application of federal sentencing guidelines would yield a far shorter sentence in the range of 21 to 27 months, framing the prosecution’s approach as excessive.

The betting market at online sportsbooks around Diddy’s sentencing is unusual in that it blends celebrity fascination with genuine public engagement in high-profile criminal justice outcomes.

Bettors consider not only the facts of the case but also judge tendencies, jury behavior, and prosecutor arguments to speculate about how the legal process will unfold. The jury’s problematic deliberations, including reported difficulty and a dismissed juror, add layers of uncertainty, though the presence of strong evidence shown on trial footage diminishes the possibility of a lenient outcome.

As October 3 draws nearer, all eyes remain on the courtroom, the judge’s sentencing decision, and the continued ripple effects on Diddy’s vast business and cultural empire. The betting lines serve not just as a reflection of public opinion but also as a gauge of expectations about the interplay of celebrity, justice, and punishment in a landmark case.

We believe there is a strong possibility that the over hits for Diddy because of how the judge has handled his incarceration post conviction. We advise anyone gambling on any Diddy-related entertainment props to bet the over.

The New York Times

Now leading the latest Big Brother futures is Zach Cornell, a former pro-baseball player who has a solid social game. What’s surprising about Cornell leading the odds is that he was on the wrong side of the house when eviction votes were cast in week 1.

The majority of the house voted for Isaiah “Zae” Frederich to leave, but Cornell and four others remained loyal and voted for Amy Bingham.

The preseason moneyline odds on Cornell to win were set at +850, but following the events of week 1, he’s risen 550 points and now tops the BB 27 odds to win.

Big Brother – Season 27 Winner

• Zach Cornell +300
• Lauren Domingue +600
• Morgan Pope +700
• Mickey Lee +800
• Ashley Hollis +800
• Keanu Soto +800
• Jimmy Heagerty +850
• Rachel Reilly +900
• Katherine Woodman +1000
• Cliffton Will Williams +1200
• Adrian Rocha +1200
• Vince Panaro +1200
• Rylie Jeffries +1400
• Ava Pearl +1600
• Amy Bingham +1600
• Kelley Jorgenson [offline]
• *BetUS

A 50-point differential separates the odds for Cornell between what’s offered at our favorite 18+ sports betting sites. While the odds at BetUS will offer a higher payout per dollar, placing your Big Brother bet also depends on how high the payouts can get.

Big Brother Odds To Win Season 27

• Zach Cornell +250
• Mickey Lee +650
• Morgan Pope +700
• Keanu Soto +800
• Lauren Domingue +800
• Jimmy Heagerty +850
• Katherine Woodman +1000
• Adrian Rocha +1200
• Ashley Hollis +1200
• Vince Panaro +1200
• Cliffton Will Williams +1200
• Kelley Jorgenson +1200
• Rachel Reilly +1200
• Rylie Jeffries +1400
• Amy Bingham +1600
• Ava Pearl +1600
• @BetOnline

For instance, the maximum allowable bet on Cornell at BetUS is $10, which will result in a $30 gain if he wins season 27. Over at BetOnline, the maximum wager that can be placed on Cornell is set to $25, which will net gamblers an additional $62.50 should he become the final houseguest.

Ashley Hollis has one of the most significant exploitable gaps on the board between the two books. She has been divisive in the house following her long shower in the HoH room shortly after the week 1 winner, Vince Panaro, was handed the keys.

After being nominated for eviction, she proved her moxy, removing herself from the block by winning the Power of Veto. She is an attorney by profession and has the potential to rebound and go far in the game.

BetUS has Hollis at +800, where a $10 maximum bet will net gains of $80 if she wins. BetOnline has Hollis at +1200, with a max bet of $21 that can earn gamblers $252 if she goes all the way.

Actor Daniel Craig retired from the role of Agent 007 following 2021’s No Time To Die. Nearly four years have passed without an announcement regarding who will play James Bond in the new film, but entertainment sportsbooks have created lines that project potential actors.

One site has Theo James leading the odds, while another has James O’Connor at the top. 18 and over sports bettors can capitalize on the differences in the odds and make more money by maximizing the value of their wagers.

For instance, Bovada has Theo James in the lead at +150. If you believe that James will become the next Bond, you should place your bet at BetOnline where he is garnering odds of +260.

Next To Play Bond After Daniel Craig (Bovada)

• Theo James +150
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson +300
• Harris Dickinson +400
• James Norton +400
• Henry Cavill +500
• Jack Lowden +600
• Josh O’Connor +700
• Callum Turner +800
• Dev Patel +1500
• Paul Mescal +1500
• Idris Elba +2000
• John Boyega +2000
• Rege-Jean Page +2000
• Aiden Turner +2500
• Richard Madden +2500
• Sope Dirisu +2500
• Tom Hardy +2500
• Cillian Murphy +3000
• Jacob Elordi +3000
• Gugu Mbatha-Raw +3500
• Jamie Bell +3500
• Michael Fassbender +3500
• Paapa Essiedu +3500
• Harry Styles +4000
• Jamie Dornan +4000
• Kit Harington +4000

BetOnline has Josh O’Connor in the lead at -120, but players can make a lot more money by betting on O’Connor at Bovada because his odds are set at +700 over there.

Most probably know of O’Connor from his role as Prince Charles on The Crown. Theo James is a British actor known for his roles in Divergent, The White Lotus, and How It Ends.

Next James Bond Odds (BetOnline)

• Josh O’Connor -120
• Henry Cavill +200
• Theo James +260
• Aaron Taylor-Johnson +300
• James Norton +380
• Harris Dickinson +500
• Paul Mescal +700
• Jack Lowden +800
• Cillian Murphy +800
• Rege-Jean Page +1000
• Callum Turner +1000
• Damson Idris +1200
• Daryl McCormack +1200
• Sam Claflin +1200
• Liam Hemsworth +1400
• Richard Madden +1400
• Jacob Elordi +1600
• Sope Dirisu +1600
• Will Sharpe +1600
• Joseph Quinn +1600
• Tom Hiddleston +1600
• Sam Heughan +1600

Fans of the series, as well as celebrity betting sites, previously favored Superman’s Henry Cavill to land the role. Cavill remains within the top five candidates at both sportsbooks, but his stock has likely dropped for two reasons.

The first is that Cavill recently accepted the role of Gus March-Phillips in the upcoming film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. 007 writer Ian Fleming used March-Phillips as the inspiration for the character of James Bond.

Cavill’s role as March-Phillips doesn’t necessarily negate his potential for becoming the next Bond, but marketplace confusion could cause producers to look elsewhere.

Another roadblock for Cavill may be the salary he would command.

Cavill auditioned for James Bond 20 years ago but lost out to Daniel Craig. Cavill was likely too young at the time, as he was in his early 20s. His audition tapes have since been leaked and uploaded to YouTube.

Odds for betting on The Voice are posted at two of our top 18+ sportsbook sites, with lines that will remain active at least until the first part of the season finale drops this evening.

The Voice Odds To Win

• Sofronio Vasquez -300
• Jeremy Beloate +220
• Sydney Sterlace +400
• Shye +450
• Danny Joseph +550
• BetOnline AG

According to The Voice prop bets, Sofronio Vasquez is a lock to win. His -300 moneyline indicates a 75% chance of success. He is originally from the Philippines and moved to the United States in 2022.

Here is Vasquez performing Roy Orbison’s “Crying.”

Jeremy Beloate is rated as a distant second and is the only other singer drawing anywhere near even money.

The only differentials present in The Voice odds between these two sportsbooks is the moneyline for Jeremy Beloate. BetOnline is offering slightly better odds on Beloate to win, paying out an extra $0.20 on the dollar when compared to BetUS.

Odds For The Voice: Season 26 Winner

• Sofronio Vasquez -300
• Jeremy Beloate +200
• Sydney Sterlace +400
• Shye +450
• Danny Joseph +550
• BetUS

Vazquez and Shye are members of Team Bublé. Beloate is a member of Team Snoop. Both Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg are first-year The Voice coaches, and it appears all but guaranteed that one of them will win during their debut season.

Danny Joseph is a member of Team Reba, and Shye is coached by Gwen Stefani. Gwen coached Carter Rubin to a championship in season 19 in 2020, but McIntyre has yet to tutor a singer to a title during her three seasons.

The winner of The Voice will receive $100,000 and a recording contract with a major label.

Fans of The Voice won’t have to wait long for season 27, which has already been confirmed and will debut on February 3rd, 2025, on NBC. Other than Bublé, an entirely new crop of coaches will be featured next season, consisting of veterans Adam Levine, John Legend, and Kelsea Ballerini.

Props and futures for The Voice 27 will debut at 18+ online entertainment sportsbooks as soon as the field of contestants is announced.

Odds have debuted for betting on DWTS, which includes moneylines for each contestant.

 Dancing With The Stars Odds To Win – Season 33

• Stephen Nedoroscik +300
• Dwight Howard +450
• Ilona Maher +450
• Danny Amendola +600
• Brooks Nader +900
• Jenn Tran +900
• Joey Graziadei +900
• Chandler Kinney +1000
• Anna Delvey +1400
• Phaedra Parks +1500
• Eric Roberts +2000
• Tori Spelling +2000
• Reginald VelJohnson +2500

Leading the preseason DWTS odds is Stephen Nedoroscik, an Olympic gymnast who has medaled twice. Just behind him in a two-way tie for second are two Olympic medalists – former NBA center Dwight Howard and Ilona Maher, an American rugby player.

Rounding out the dancers who are within contention is Danny Amendola, former New England Patriots wide receiver and two-time Super Bowl champion.

Reality television fans will recognize Jenn Tran, The Bachelorette from season 28. Tran and ex-fiance Devin Strader are still publically feuding over their recent split, which could impact her ability to perform on the dance floor.

Josy Graziadei was the runner-up on season 20 of The Bachelorette and will be The Bachelor for season 28.

90210 alum Tory Spelling would have had a better shot at the trophy in her younger days, but at 51 years of age, she is projected for an early exit in season 33.

18-friendly entertainment gambling sites suggest Spelling has a decent shot of making it beyond the first elimination. The first dancer projected to depart the competitor is Reginald VelJohnson.

First Elimination

• Reginald VelJohnson +200
• Eric Roberts +400
• Anna Delvey +500
• Brooks Nader +800
• Phaedra Parks +800
• Tori Spelling +800
• Chandler Kinney +900
• Joey Graziadei +900
• Danny Amendola +1500
• Jenn Tran +1500
• Ilona Maher +2000
• Dwight Howard +2500
• Stephen Nedoroscik +2500

VelJohnson played Carl Winslow on Family Matters and a police officer in Die Hard 1 and 2. His advanced age, overweight status, and lack of any dancing background make him a prime candidate for being the first to leave DWTS.

Actor Eric Roberts is a potential underdog in the above Dancing with the Stars prop bet. He’s a bit of a pill, and again, he’s no spring chicken at 68 years old.

Anna Delvey is a professional imposter, but can she fake her way past at least a few eliminations? The odds say yes, but she’s another potential sleeper with high payout potential at +500.

Celebrity betting sites have placed Real Housewives of Atlanta star Phaedra Parks toward the middle of the pack in both prop bets, but we believe she has a great chance to go home early.

NBCUniversal, the same entity that owns Comcast, has placed a $2.5 billion deal on the table for the annual rights to air NBA basketball games on their networks. The NBA has already renewed their other existing deal with Disney, and has created a third broadcast tier that recently sold to Amazon.

The contract currently held by Warner is the only one remaining in play, and 18-friendly NBA betting sites have created a few props in anticipation of the league’s new broadcast partner.

How Much Will The Next NBA Media Deal Cost?

The offer from NBCUniversal is already set at $2.5 billion annually, so the question this NBA prop bet is asking is whether Warner will counter with a higher offer. Right now, entertainment sportsbooks are suggesting that a higher counter offer is forthcoming.

NBA Odds For Media Deal Offer

• Over 2½ Billion USD -300
• Under 2½ Billion USD +200

The current moneyline of -300 suggests a strong liklihood (75%) of a bidding war between the two parties. The prior deal was set at $1.2 billion per year, so the rights fees will at least double for the next contract duration.

Who Will Win The Next NBA Media Deal?

Even though NBCUniversal is the odds on favorite to become the new broacast partner for the NBA, they are not a lock to sign the deal. The odds for both NBC and Warner are very close to even, and the prospect of a third party entering into the negotiations are slim.

NBA Prop Bet For Next Broadcast Partner

• NBC/Universal/Comcast -125
• Warner Brothers/Discovery +125
• Any Other +500

NBC holds a 50 point lead over Warner, which is by no means a significant advantage and most likely refects the simple fact that they possess the winning bid for the moment. Where NBC holds the edge is in corporate value, which is over double that of Warner Bros.

All of these developments come in the wake of the annoucenemtn of a new sports streaming app called Venu. The partners in the said app? Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, and Fox, so it is no surprise to see them attempt to shore up premium pro basketball content for their launch.

Venu would pair these efforts up with what is already contained by ESPN+ and offer them toghether for under $50 monthly, which is likely corporate speak for $49.99.

BetUS, CNBC

18+ entertainment sportsbooks have opted in as well, prompting a torrent of props for most of the major categories. Odds for awards shows are not uncommon at online betting sites.

For most of the calendar year, lines are often posted for the Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, and other major awards ceremonies.

Two of our favorite 18+ sportsbooks are offering betting odds for the 2024 ACM Awards. This gives gamblers a chance to earn more money when they win an ACM Award bet. These first two Academy of Country Music Awards betting lines featured odds in black from BetOnline and red from Bovada.

Album of the Year

• Luke Combs: Luke Combs -150 -125
• Morgan Wallen: One Thing At a Time +220 +125
• Chris Stapleton: Higher +320 +400
• Kelsea Ballerini: Rolling Up The Welcome Mat +1200 +1000
• Cody Johnson: Leather +1400 +1000

Luke Combs’ self-titled album is positioned as the most likely winner of the 2024 ACM Award for Album of the Year. Combs narrowly leads Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At a Time, as the two are only separated by as few as 50 points in the ACM odds.

Entertainer of the Year

• Lainey Wilson +120 -125
• Luke Combs +300 +200
• Morgan Wallen +400 +250
• Chris Stapleton +600 +700
• Jelly Roll +600 +800
• Cody Johnson +1600 +1500
• Kane Brown +2000 +1500

Laiey Wilson holds the best odds to win Entertainer of the Year for 2024. However, you can actually earn more than the amount of your wager if you bet on Wilson at BetOnline instead of Bovada. Don’t sleep on Combs in this category, as he could be poised for a sweep at the 2024 ACM Awards.

Female Artist of the Year

• Lainey Wilson -300
• Kelsea Ballerini +320 
• Kacey Musgraves +350
• Ashley McBryde +2000
• Megan Moroney +2000

Celebrity betting sites are once again favoring Lainey Wilson in this ACM prop bet for Female Artist of the Year. She holds a commanding 420-point lead over the second-place contender, Kelsea Ballerini.

Male Artist of the Year

• Luke Combs -150
• Morgan Wallen +320
• Jelly Roll +350
• Chris Stapleton +450
• Cody Johnson +1200

The Luke Combs show continues. He appears to have a lock on the Male Artist of the Year ACM Award with negative moneyline odds to win. Morgan Wallen trails Combs by 270 points.

Song of the Year

• Luke Combs: Fast Car -150
• Lainey Wilson: Heart Like A Truck +260
• Jordan Davis: Next Thing You Know +350
• Cody Johnson: The Painter +800
• Megan Moroney: Tennessee Orange +1000

Fast Car is projected to be the 2024 Song of the Year and is the fourth category that Combs is favored to win. These ACM Awards odds will likely remain posted until the show begins on the 16th, but they could be removed anytime between now and then.
