INTERACTION – TOO CLOSE TO CALL BETWEEN AVATAR, HURT LOCKER
Cameron, Bigelow Battle It Out in Best
Picture Oscar Betting
MONTREAL, MARCH 4TH. James Cameron
may be dreaming of another king of the world speech at the Academy Awards this
Sunday, but the Avatar director faces being usurped from the throne – by
his ex-wife.
Sports Interaction, the first online sportsbook
licensed and registered in North America, opened its
Oscar betting
with Avatar as an odds-on favorite at a price of 1.50. There was no way
it couldn’t win, according to Sports Interaction betting analyst, Frank Doyle.
“Avatar is a revolutionary movie – an
evolutionary jump in the technology, and naturally the Academy would like to
acknowledge that evolutionary jump when it happens,” says Doyle. “Also, the fact
it’s grossed over two billion dollars and counting worldwide hardly went
un-noticed either.”
But
Sports Interaction
has seen a lot of money come in on Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker,
which has sensationally overtaken Avatar as favorite for Best Picture.
The race is now too close to call, with Avatar priced at 1.95 while
The Hurt Locker is now the favorite at 1.80 with Sports Interaction.
“This race will go down to the wire,” says
Doyle. “It might even split, with one getting Picture and the other getting
Director. And now we have this latest controversy about the source material for
Locker adding to the excitement, all making for some very exciting
betting.”
Best Picture is just one of sixteen categories
on which Sports Interaction (http://www.sportsinteraction.com)
has posted
Oscar odds.
“Looking at the rest of the markets, Avatar versus Locker for Best
Picture is the closest race, as every other category has very hot favorites –
Jeff Bridges for Best Actor, Mo’Nique for Best Supporting Actress, and so on,”
says Doyle. “It’s a fun thing we like to do every year. We even post odds on the
Razzies, for the worst pictures of the year. Hey, we quote
NFL odds
on the Lions, don’t we?”
