I've always done pretty well with Awards Shows and the like...no real trick or system to it--I just follow the entertainment industry press like "Variety" and look for good values. It's sort of different than betting sports since it really *is* a predetermined event--it's not like "Greys Anatomy" will have a "letdown" or be in a "look ahead" spot to another awards show. Historically, the Emmy Awards have been far less predictible than the Oscar Awards (though nothing IMO is less predictible than the Grammy Awards--just ask Jethro Tull who won the debut "Best Heavy Metal" performance grammy over Metallica, Janes Addiction and AC/DC).

Anyway, I'll post some stuff closer to the date of the awards...

I forgot to add that the only Emmy Award I care about is one that's not on the board--I'd sure like to see Jeremy Piven win "Best Supporting Comedy Actor" for his role as Ari Gold on "Entourage"....

Sounds good, keep us posted.

Pinnacle originally had Yes/No options available before they took them down. That was fun. I think I bet the max a good 5 times on Kevin James "No", including a few others as well.

As far as the plays...I like Steve Carrell to win (even though I'm partial to Larry David), but you can get a better line at pretty much any other book.

Geena Davis is more like an 8-1 rather than a 3-1, so dont waste your money on that.

Pretty tight year all around.

At least with the Oscars it definitely pays to shop around--obviously this is the case for any sport, but you can find some huge moneyline differences not only on the dog prices but the favorites as well....

345 Jane Kaczmarek +180

wow I bet her at +420 earlier cause I have a crush on her,
