I have done 3 trips with Travel Best Bets. The last one to Morocco was such a great deal. For the money, I could not have done anything to the extent that this trip gave me. Cannot wait to do another destination!

My wife Linda & myself have been looking at various vacation options. We have been working with Lianna and she has been most helpful with recommendations, the booking process, guiding us along in order for us to have a worry free vacation. She has booked us air, accommodation, a cruise package including transfers, assisted us with all the necessary paperwork and documentation. Lianna has been very prompt at returning my calls, answering numerous questions, and getting all documentation to us in a timely manner. Travel Best Bets offer many vacation options at very competitive pricing. Whether it is an all inclusive. Guided tour, cruise, or just air transportation, they do it all.

Cheltenham Festival 2024 day one tips: best bets and latest odds

Rob wright’s best bets from each day of the meeting, starting with the champion hurdle and supreme novices’ hurdle on tuesday.

In the absence of Constitution Hill, State Man is the red-hot favourite for the Champion Hurdle

S tate Man was no match for the outstanding Constitution Hill 12 months ago but, in that rival’s absence, he looks set to go one better in the Unibet Champion Hurdle (3.30) on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival.

A second clash with Constitution Hill would have been one of the highlights of the week but Nicky Henderson’s charge was ruled out a week ago as he was suffering from a respiratory infection.

Last season’s Champion Hurdle was State Man’s only defeat in his past 11 starts, with eight of his successes coming at the highest level. He has cruised to success on each of his three starts this season, looking better than ever.

He was impressive when claiming the Irish Champion Hurdle for

Lily Gladstone for Best Actress? Oscars Gamblers Are Betting Big.

Inside the world of people making bets on the winners of the Academy Awards — with some taking home thousands of dollars.

  • Share full article

A woman in a white suit stands in front of a peach-colored wall.

By Hallie Lieberman

Follow our live updates for the 2024 Oscars .

On Feb. 23, John Richards traveled more than 100 miles to place bets on the Oscars. He took a train from Washington, D.C., to Wilmington, Del., and then hopped into an Uber car to take him to a truck stop in New Jersey.

Once in that state, where bets are legal, he opened his DraftKings, FanDuel and bet365 apps and spent about $1,800 on a series of wagers: Lily Gladstone for best actress, “The Creator” for best visual effects, “Maestro” for best makeup, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” for best animated film, “Oppenheimer” for best sound and “War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko” for best animated short.

Mr. Richards, a 40-year-old statistician at Red Carpet Rosters, a fantasy league site for film awards, has been betting on the Oscars since 2016. Before his trip to the New Jersey truck stop, he had already wagered $2,750 on this year’s awards. In addition to placing multiple bets for Ms. Gladstone, he put $70 on Emma Stone as a hedge.

Mr. Richards is one of a growing number of Oscar gamblers scattered around the world. In the United States, where gambling is regulated at the state level, seven states allow Oscar betting: Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey. Sports betting, however, is allowed in 38 states and the District of Columbia. It became legal in 2018 after the Supreme Court overturned a 1992 law banning sports betting. Later that year, the first Oscar market opened in New Jersey.

Because the outcomes of sports games are unknown before the matches, allowing bets on them is considered less risky than bets on awards shows, whose results are decided in advance. PwC, an accounting firm formerly known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, tabulates the votes for the Academy Awards. According to the Academy’s website , only two partners of PwC know the results before they are announced during the Oscars ceremony. In general, employees that have access to confidential information are not supposed to use that information for personal gain, a PwC spokeswoman said.

How much Americans bet on the Oscars is unknown because the major trade association for casinos, the American Gaming Association, doesn’t collect data on Oscar betting, but it estimates that legal online sports books, like Draft Kings and BetMGM, have taken in $10.26 billion in revenue.

BetMGM, which facilitates legal Oscar betting in four U.S. states, as well as Ontario and Puerto Rico, said that this year over half of Oscar bets have been placed on best picture. Sixty-nine percent of these bets are on “Oppenheimer,” which opened at +800 in June 2023 (meaning a $100 bet would net you $800 plus your investment). “Oppenheimer,” now a favorite, is trading at -3,000 (meaning you must bet $3,000 to win $100).

Mr. Richards watches every nominated movie before wagering. “I like to trust my gut,” he said. “I want to use the math to support my gut feeling.”

That’s how he won $200 wagering on “Moonlight,” an underdog for best picture in 2016. Similarly, he bet on “CODA,” a best picture nominee in 2022, when the odds were 25 to 1. That year, he won nearly $10,000 overall. It’s an entirely different approach from the way he and others bet on sports, where stats come first and gut feelings a distant second.

Oscar betting isn’t a new phenomenon, said Brett Abarbanel, executive director of the International Gaming Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “There are betting sites and markets in Europe that have taken bets on the Academy Awards for decades,” she said.

BetUS, an offshore sports book based in Costa Rica, has been offering Oscar betting for 20 years. “In the last two to three years, we’ve really seen it grow by leaps and bounds,” said Tim Williams, BetUS’s director of public relations. “During the course of the Academy Awards, we probably take bets from more than half the countries on earth.”

Many Americans use offshore books, which are in a legal gray area in the United States. Their legality varies from state to state. “Some consider both sides of the activity to be illegal, while others only treat the service provider to be the illegal actor,” Ms. Abarbanel said. Mr. Williams says the increased popularity of Oscar betting is caused by the growth of legal betting markets in the United States, most of which don’t allow Oscar betting because the results of the Oscars are decided in advance.

Betting on the arts is less a numbers game than sports betting: There are no stats like R.B.I.s and T.D.s to pore over, no injury reports or previous games to set precedents, aside from precursor award shows like the Golden Globes. Mr. Williams said that odds are set through examining industry trends, critical acclaim and social media. After they’re set, “the odds move based upon the way that customers are betting,” Mr. Williams said. “Our goal as a sports book is to take roughly an equal share of bets on all of the options. And we do that by adjusting the odds.” This year, Christopher Nolan and Oppenheimer are a sure thing, Mr. Williams said.

But, according to Mr. Williams, Oscar betting is not lucrative for BetUS, and the company often loses money on the bets each year. “If we were in the retail business, I think they would call that a loss leader,” Mr. Williams said.

The odds can quickly change. Chris Steckman, a legal consultant for a fashion company who lives in West Hollywood, Calif., and bets on the Oscars, pointed out that Fantasia Barrino of “The Color Purple” was a favorite for best actress in September on Bovada, an offshore sports book, but then Ms. Barrino wasn’t nominated. The current favorite is Lily Gladstone.

Mr. Steckman, 33, said he has never had a losing year betting on the Oscars. He makes anywhere from $2,500 to $4,000 every year. This year he has wagered about $1,500.

“I love betting Oscars because it forces me to watch movies I kind of otherwise wouldn’t,” Mr. Steckman said. For advice, he also follows Gold Derby, an Oscar prediction website that allows users to vote, a subreddit called OscarRace, and a podcast called “The Next Best Picture.” “It’s not a perfect science,” he said.

A cottage industry of Oscar prognosticators and podcasts has sprung up to offer advice. This includes “ Lights Camera What’s the Action? ,” a podcast hosted by Tony Coca-Cola (a stage name) and his friends. Tony Coca-Cola has been betting on the Academy Awards in Australia since 2005.

“It’s like taking your annual Oscars pool up a notch,” he said. Tony Coca-Cola and his friends weren’t taking the bets too seriously. “You bet on who you want to win, and that’s just a surefire way to lose money,” he said. “But the more we did it, the more we realized that the bookies don’t really know what they’re doing in these entertainment markets.” He and his friends try to beat the house by reading Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, checking out Gold Derby and analyzing pundits.

For advice, Mr. Richards, the statistician, turns to awards like the SAGS and to Ben Zauzmer , the author of “Oscarmetrics,” who created a mathematical Oscar prediction model.

“I do not endorse betting,” Mr. Zauzmer said. “I don’t bet on the Oscars myself.” But Oscar betting markets are one factor in his prediction model. “Betting markets serve as a wisdom of the crowds, and study after study has shown that in many domains, not just the Oscars, wisdom of the crowds tends to have some predictive power,” he said.

What does the industry think of Oscar betting? Gabriel Rossman, a sociology professor at U.C.L.A., thinks it isn’t enthused. (The academy declined to comment.) Dr. Rossman said the film industry lobbied to stop another betting market from existing in 2010: the Hollywood Stock Exchange , a prediction website where people voted on the value of movies and celebrities. After industry pushback, it continued as a virtual game with no money involved.

Nonetheless, Dr. Rossman says betting could be positive for the Oscars. “The Oscars has been in such a decline for public interest, anything that draws attention to the Oscars is going to be good for them,” he said.

Since legal Oscar bets are limited, bettors who want to wager tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars turn to illegal offshore books and prediction markets.

One man who goes by the gambling name A Nude Egg , who asked to remain anonymous to separate his personal life from his gambling life, said he wagers from $100,000 to $150,000 on the Oscars — money spread out over 30 sports books and a few prediction markets. He recently quit his job to become a full-time gambler.

In 2021, he won $28,000 by betting on the Oscars. “Each year I attempt to bet on every category, even the three short film categories, which are sometimes my favorite to bet on since most people know nothing about those films,” he said. He says it’s wiser to avoid watching nominated films so that personal biases don’t creep into betting decisions, but he doesn’t heed his own advice. “I’m a movie buff,” he said. “I just do my best to try to separate out my feelings.”

Not all Oscar bettors take the markets so seriously. Some place small bets to enhance their enjoyment of the show.

“Awards shows can be slow, but when there’s money on the line, I’m a lot more invested,” said Matt Pondiscio, a 26-year-old self-described “art kid” who lives in New Jersey and bets from $5 to $10 a category.

Mr. Pondiscio, a former film major, got into Oscars betting on DraftKings when his fraternity brothers, who were wagering on N.F.L. games, told him in 2018 that Oscar betting was available. Mr. Pondiscio has yet to win money betting on the Oscars — he has wagered about $500 over the years and made back about $300.

An earlier version of this article mischaracterized an amount provided by the American Gaming Association. The amount, $10.26 billion, reflects an estimation that legal online sports books have taken in in revenue, not what Americans have wagered on legal online sports books.

Rangers vs. devils prediction: nhl odds, picks, best bets for monday.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Luke Hughes and the Devils need a win Monday against the Rangers.

The New Jersey Devils — who desperately need to string a bunch of wins together just to get back into the NHL playoff race — visit the New York Rangers on Monday.

It’s an oversimplification to say New Jersey’s nightmare campaign comes down to just poor goaltending, but it’s certainly the main reason that the Devils have taken such a large step back in 2023-24.

New Jersey ranks 31st in the NHL in save percentage and 27th in goals against average. The three main goaltenders the Devils have used this season (Vitek Vanecek, Akira Schmid and Nico Daws) have combined for -18 Goals Saved Above Expected (per MoneyPuck).

No team can escape that kind of performance from its goaltenders for an entire season.

But it’s not just the goalies that have caused the Devils issues.

Injuries on the blue line have forced rookies Luke Hughes and Simon Nemec into bigger roles than they’re ready for, while solid middle-pair rearguards like John Marino and Jonas Siegenthaler have had to play tougher minutes than you’d like, too.

Rangers vs. Devils prediction

( 7 p.m. ET)

Time has likely run out on the Devils to make a playoff push, especially with the team dealing Tyler Toffoli at the deadline , but they did at least attempt to stabilize their goaltending by making a change.

Jake Allen and Kaapo Kahkonen are likely just stopgaps before a bigger move in the offseason, but they’ll both get a chance to make an impact before the season ends.

The Rangers beat the Blues on Saturday.

Kahkonen, who has decent underlying metrics despite playing for the lowly San Jose Sharks, is the likely starter for the Devils on Monday night.

You’d expect the Devils to sell out a bit defensively in order to give their netminder a fighting chance, but that just isn’t in their DNA. New Jersey plays a high-event, fast-paced game and that leaves them susceptible to defensive breakdowns and giving up chances off the rush.

The Rangers don’t have anything to worry about in the goaltending department, but they are due for some negative regression.

The Blueshirts are conceding 3.13 expected goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five since the All-Star break (31st in the NHL), but they’re only allowing 1.72 goals per 60 in that span.

Those numbers should meet in the middle at some point.

There’s value on the Over in this contest.

The best Oscars bets: Who is expected to win at this year's Academy Awards

  • The 96th annual Academy Awards are on Sunday.
  • From Best Picture to Best Actress, gamblers will be placing bets on movie category winners.
  • Here's where experts say to put your money and what your chances of cashing in are.

Insider Today

The stars won't be the only people with something on the line at the 96th annual Academy Awards on Sunday.

With betting more accessible — and legal — than ever before, movie fans and living-room gamblers will be trying their luck.

There are seven states where you can legally put money on the various trophies this year — and in Ontario, you can go even further and place bets on everything from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue to Margot Robbie's red carpet look. Then, there are the thousands of more casual Oscars pools among friends and colleagues.

While the exact amount of money that bettors are expected to place isn't publicly available, it'll likely be closer to the sum wagered on a regular season NBA game than on the Super Bowl, which the American Gambling Association estimated was $23.1 billion, Bill Speros, a senior betting analyst for Bookies.com , told Business Insider.

That said, this year's Oscars are expected to attract more speculators than recently thanks to box office hits "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer."

"Since Oscar betting became legal, this year is really the first time you have two movies that a lot of people have seen," Speros said. He added that "Oppenheimer" is the favorite to win the night's top prize, with 62% of all the money bet on best picture on DraftKings placed on the film.

Still, the Academy Awards can be harder to game than sports, which have a bevy of statistics for people to pore over. The winners are chosen by the 9,797 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

"With Oscar betting, there's really no data to break down because you are betting on someone's opinion," Speros said. "There have been upsets at the Oscars ."

The little data available — like who won the SAG Awards and BAFTAs — is taken into account by experts on GoldDerby, a website dedicated to predicting the results of Hollywood's award shows, to form their predictions. Last year, the group was right on all but four categories: best actor (they thought Austin Butler would get the golden statue for "Elvis," but it went to Brendan Fraser for "The Whale"), best costume design, best makeup and hairstyling, and best production design.

Below is GoldDerby's take on who will win in 2024 — and the odds — as of March 7.

Just remember: Place any wager at your own risk.

"This is gambling," Speros said. "There's no such thing as a sure thing."

Gold scales new record peaks as rate cut bets burnish appeal

Gold raced to an all-time high on Thursday, extending its record run this week as increasing bets for U.S. monetary easing added to sustained tailwinds for bullion from central bank buying and safe-haven demand.

Spot gold was up 0.46% to $2,158.1255 per ounce, hitting an all-time high of $2,164.09 during the Asian trading hours.

U.S. gold futures rose 0.40% to $2,166.90.

Powell said the Fed is "not far" from getting enough confidence that inflation is heading to the Fed's 2% goal to be able to start interest-rate cuts.

Traders are now pricing in a 72% chance of a June rate cut, versus around 63% on Feb. 29, the CME's Fedwatch Tool showed.

A low-interest rate environment translates into reduced opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold and weighs on the dollar, making bullion cheaper for overseas buyers.

Rate cut bets are driving gold prices and everyone is expecting they will come, said World Gold Council market strategist Joseph Cavatoni.

Central banks' gold purchases also continue to be very strong, Cavatoni added.

Further market direction could come from Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls report.

In physical markets, the price surge was expected to dampen consumption during the Indian wedding season, but top buyer China could see robust safe-haven demand.

Geopolitical risks are also the major driver for bullion, said James Steel, precious metals analyst at HSBC.

"We only have a narrow group of assets investors can really call safe haven, and gold is number one amongst them."

Bullion has climbed over $300 since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.

However, the latest rally in gold has come alongside a rally in riskier assets.

Silver added 1% to $24.40, while platinum climbed 1.4% to $919.85 per ounce.

Palladium slipped 0.1% to $1,040.76 after surging as much as 12% on Wednesday.
