Betting the Oscars with no risk - Charles Jay lays out the numbers

Charles Jay makes two-way props and an assortment of gimmick odds available for the Oscars

(PRWEB) February 29, 2004 --Will this be Sean Penn's year to shine at the Oscars? How about his "Mystic River" co-star, Tim Robbins, or former winner Marcia Gay Harden? Will Peter Jackson finally win Best Director for "Lord of the Rings - Return of the King"? Will Renee Zellweger win the Oscar after two previous nominations, as she feels she deserves?

All these questions will be answered Sunday night as the Academy Awards are decided.

Oddsmaker Charles Jay, who posts the numbers for the fantasy betting game available through BetCharlesJay.com (http://www.betcharlesjay.com), has compiled a series of interesting novelty parlays, aside from the customary two-way props on who the winners will be.

For example, it is 3300-1 that all four acting winners will be previous Oscar winners. And 600-1 that they will all be foreign-born.

The "Mystic River Triple Play" of Penn, Robbins and Harden fetches a price of -1630 on the "NO", and +1230 for "YES"..

The odds are posted in the "Pop Culture/Entertainment" section of the game, conducted in association with Wannamakeabet.com.
