- Deadpool is projected to make more on opening weekend in comparison to Beetlejuice 2 per the movie release odds.
- Hayao Miyazaki’s film ‘The Boy and the Heron’ could make a run at an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
- Underdog odds for Pedro Pascal to win Best Actor in a Drama Series work as votes Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen may split.
- Wednesday Addams’s references to Grandmama in Season 1 make her appearance in Season 2 at +275 odds a smart bet.
- On screen kissing bets have Stranger Things Will and Mike more likely to kiss than Cobra Kai’s Anthony LaRusso & Devon Lee.
NEW YORK – With entertainment news always in the mix, gambling sites released odds for release dates, appearances in the seasons, kisses, and more.
Box Office Numbers
Set for September 6, Tim Burton won’t have to do much to draw people away from the Beetlejuice 2 release date. With great actors in place (Dafoe, Ortega, Ryder, Keaton), many are expecting the money to top at $100 million.
Beetlejuice 2: Opening Weekend
- Over $105.5 Million -110
- Under $105.5 Million -120
Comparatively, Deadpool 3 is set to go much higher, based on the odds. A summer launch, July 26 will be the start of a great weekend for Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and company.
Deadpool 3: Opening Weekend
- Over $105.5 Million -110
- Under $105.5 Million -120
Jumping off Superheroes and movies, James Bond is also on the list. While the last movie (No Time To Die) was made in 2021, the next won’t likely be released until 2026 at best. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the favorite to take over the Aston Martin driving spy character but producer Barbara Broccoli expressed how they are reinventing the character.
Next James Bond
- Aaron Taylor-Johnson +100
- Tom Hardy +400
- Henry Cavill +700
- Idris Elba +800
From Best To Worst
With the Oscars about a month away, a lot of the winners are locked into place. But the main storylines focus on two categories. The odds for Best Animated Feature Film at USA online gambling sites are in a runoff between two movies.
Best Animated Feature Film
- Across The Spider-Verse -250
- The Boy and the Heron -180
While Spiderman grossed $381.5 million in the US and over $600 million worldwide, Hayao Miyazaki’s final film ‘The Boy and the Heron’ hit number 1 at the North American box office. Taking in almost $13m in the US and Canada on its opening weekend, entertainment gambling sites favor both, with the sites unsure.
In another category, the Best Documentary Feature has 20 Days in Mariupol a slight favorite to take the award.
Best Documentary Feature
- 20 Days in Mariupol -200
- Bobi Wine: The People’s President +200
The push from Bobi Wine to “be inspired to defend your democracy” has many seeing the film make a run at the award. But, as 20 Days in Mariupol became a firsthand account of the War in Ukraine, it may be hard to beat.
From Oscars to Screen Actors Guild awards, some heavy favorites sit atop their categories. But, the focus on Best Actor: Drama Series has a few locked in on Succession and The Last of Us.
- Kieran Culkin, Succession (-500)
- Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us (+400)
- Matthew Macfadyen, Succession (+500)
Pedro Pascal could be an easy underdog grab with thoughts that voters will split on Succession actors Culkin and Macfadyen. Already confirmed as the next Mr. Fantastic, a.k.a Reed Richards, Pascal’s nominations are side notes to his expertise.
But the fall from A list comes quick. And after watching the best movies, don’t forget the worst movies have odds at sports gambling sites for US players too.
In 2024, the Razzies are looking at Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey as the worst film of the year with -180 odds.
TV Betting Odds
Gambling sites also feature a list of TV odds available. For Wednesday Season 2, a list of characters appearing has betting choices.
- Cousin Itt +215
- Grandmama +275
- Pubert +600
Grandmama is Wednesday’s paternal grandmother (mother of Gomez) and should be a lock to appear in Season 2. A staple character, Grandmama has been seen during Wednesday’s birthday flashbacks and even quoted her (“secrets were like zombies”) in episode 3, “Friend or Woe”.
Staying on the supernatural side, bets on Umbrella Academy show that someone is dying this season. While Sir Reginald has even odds to perish, every one is also on the board at +500 to +800 odds. Other things to happen in Umbrella Academy Season 4 include positive actions.
Umbrella Academy Betting Props
- Get their powers back in Episode 1 +250
- Abigail to appear in the Season +250
- Luther locates Sloane +300
For Stranger Things Season 5, the odds aren’t focused on the science fiction but on the fantasy. Odds for Will and Mike to kiss on screen (No, -165) aren’t looking good for Will but the underdogs odds (+125) aren’t too far from making it a reality.
Will is in love with Mike per the actor, Noah Schnapp, himself. So, you never know.
Likewise, the odds for Daniel LaRusso & Carmen Diaz to have an onscreen lip kiss in Cobra Kai are long (+1200). Anthony LaRusso & Devon Lee have shorter odds (+600), but not as short as Will and Mike.
Elsewhere for Cobra Kai bets on the LaRusso family center around fights or deaths.
Cobra Kai Odds For Thing To Happen
- Member of Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang win Sekai Taikai -140
- Terry Silver to cheat in the Sekai Taikai +400
- Daniel LaRusso & Terry Silver fight in Episode 1 +800
- Terry Silver to die +1000
- Carmen Diaz to die +1000
With a member of Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang winning Sekai Taikai most likely, a smart USA online gamble on TV would be here.
