What Can TV and Showbiz Fans Bet On?

It used to be that betting was limited to sports fans who closely studied the games and the markets to predict what might happen in upcoming events. However, the emergence of different wagers allows showbiz fans and followers of major TV shows to test their knowledge in a similar way. So what are some areas you can bet on now?

The Next Award Winners and the Future James Bond

If we look at the specials betting section of the Paddy Power site, we can see a wide variety of types of wager that you could try. This includes areas such as which movie will win the best picture award at the next Oscars ceremony and who will be the winners of the upcoming BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. You can bet on these things well in advance or wait until closer to the date when the favorites become clearer.

The 2023 Oscars betting gives a variety of wagering options that might include a movie you’ve enjoyed and have high hopes for. For example, you can find movies such as Thirteen Lives, The Fabelmans, and Killers of the Flower Moon at the top of the list. With such a long time to go before the awards ceremony in March of next year, the predictions are still at an early stage and some films on the list haven’t even been released yet.

Other bets include the question of who the next James Bond will be. Rege Jean Page, Idris Elba, and Henry Cavill are among the favorites. Or maybe you think that one outsider such as Hugh Grant or Danny Dyer could be the next in line for this iconic film role, the odds reflect how likely each person is to get the part, based on factors such as the latest media speculation and interviews.

The Winners of Reality Shows

These options are joined by others, such as betting on the outcome of your favorite reality show. The Love Island betting markets lets us see more clearly how this works. You can bet on the top male contestant, the top female contestant, or the winning couple. At the time of writing, Davide Sanclimenti is the favorite for the men’s title, with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu leading the way among the ladies.

For a big fan of these shows, placing a bet on who will win is a way of adding an extra touch of excitement to each show. Every time a vote or elimination comes along, there’s an extra reason to support your favorite. Naturally, predicting who wins one of these shows is extremely difficult, but it gets easier as the series goes on, contestants get eliminated, and others show their strengths and weaknesses.

These different ways of placing bets give us a variety of options, with something to suit just about any taste and entertainment interest.

Whether you love going to the cinema or settling down with the latest episode of your favorite reality show, these are ways of putting your knowledge to good use while trying out a new type of entertainment.
