And the Best Picture Award goes to....

Most of the bets available are what are known as "outright" bets. This means that the bet is on a final outcome. For example, with a contestant or some activity or competition with a clear winner. This includes awards shows and their categories, for example The Oscars and Golden Globes, with the categories including "best picture", "best director" or "best supporting actor". Odds are made from a similar formula in exactly the same way as they are in sporting events. You can find more sports books in the UK here. Bookmakers run algorithms and make statistical analysis based on the odds of each perceived outcome. Thankfully there are a number of tools available to help punters at home to make better choices about betting on TV, including the ubiquitous "Oddschecker".

Betting From Your Sofa In Your Underpants

So there you are, in your underpants, sprawling over your sofa, surrounded by old pizza and old beer cans.

Well, thanks to some new apps, you don't have to lift a finger (OK...sorry, but that much you have to do!). Bring up the relevant app, and scroll through the range of odds the bookmaker is offering. Then simply place your bets. You can even control the movement of your funds with your remote control.
