I'm a little confused and wonder why there are gamblers who want to place bets on the Oscars.
It's just an event to give awards to several well-known actors and accomplished actors.
Is there any particular excitement to betting on the Oscars and does it have a greater return?
It also seems that not many gamblers are interested in Oscars bets, so is there any advantage that Freebitcoin can get by holding Oscars bets.
I can say that because indeed in the country where I live and my environment it is not very popular with such bets like Oscars bets

I understand perfectly if someone is following movie scene that they want to use their insights to win money.
But at the same time i also am pretty sure that's rigged. I am not sure how though, maybe if it's politically in a right place considering the current political atmosphere.

And i am guessing everyone even remotely connected to the event are not eligible to make any bets on it. Just like in boxing etc, it's illegal for a boxer to take a dive for a relative who bet him doing so in 2nd round or something like that. Even though it could be highly lucrative to have insight information about this.

Several thousands of members are voting, the ballot is secret and made online, so it would be very hard to rig the process. For being able to make inside bets you would need to know several dozens of random members that accept to give you their real votes, and it would only be a rough survey at the end.

Finals voting is also conducted online. During finals, all Oscar categories are on the ballot for voting members.
After final ballots are tabulated, only two partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers know the results until the famous envelopes are opened onstage during the Oscars telecast.
