2019 Oscars Predictions: Las Vegas Odds Reveal the Most Likely Winners

The 2019 Oscars are right around the corner, and to help you predict the victors (and to win your Oscar party betting pool), we’ve put together our picks for the most statistically probable future Academy Award winners. These are the Vegas Odds, baby!

To arrive at our choices, we scoured the internet for the best probability and betting resources we could find (like oddschecker.com and oddsshark.com), and added in a touch of input from academy-interested media outlets (like Variety and Rotten Tomatoes).

A real quick lesson on how odds work: the first number is how many dollars you will win if you bet the second number. E.G. if the odds are 1/2, you will only win one dollar more for every two you put down, but that’s because it’s a safe bet. If the odds are 2/1, you will win 2 dollars for every one you put down. It’s slightly more risky bet, but there’s also more reward.

We left our own biases out of the equation, and let the chips fall where they may. Without further ado, here are Inverse’s Vegas Odds Oscar Winners 2019. For more information on our picks, check out the video up top.
