Entertainment

Betting isn't just about sports anymore. From hot dog contests to Hollywood awards, reality shows to royal showdowns, Entertainment Betting is a fast-growing, thrill-filled category that lets fans wager on the world’s biggest spectacles. At Everygame Sportsbook, we offer markets on the most talked-about pop culture events across the globe.

This guide walks you through how entertainment betting works, what markets you’ll find at Everygame, and the best tips and strategies for betting on everything from the Oscars to WWE, Eurovision, and Miss Universe.

Whether you’re a cinephile, music lover, pop culture fanatic, or just someone with a sharp sense of prediction, Entertainment Betting is your backstage pass to excitement and profit.

What Is Entertainment Betting?

Entertainment betting lets you place wagers on the outcome of non-sporting events, usually related to TV shows, music, movies, celebrity competitions, and public contests.

At Everygame, our Entertainment category includes odds on:

• Award shows (Oscars, Emmys, Golden Globes, Grammys)
• TV competitions (America’s Got Talent, The Voice, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars)
• Pageants (Miss USA, Miss World)
• Cultural contests (Eurovision Song Contest, Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, Scripps National Spelling Bee)
• Box Office performance
• WWE events (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania)

These markets offer a change of pace from traditional sports betting and often appeal to wider audiences — including casual fans, friends of participants, or anyone following the pop culture calendar.

Why Bet on Entertainment Events?

Entertainment betting is fun, social, and often full of underdog surprises. Here’s why so many bettors love it:

• You already follow the events – Why not profit from your predictions?
• Great odds on unpredictable outcomes – Perfect for betting on dark horses.
• Low-pressure betting – Less analysis needed than major sports.
• Year-round availability – There’s always something happening.
• Mass appeal – Get your friends involved, even if they’re not into sports.

And with Everygame’s clean interface and global reach, you can bet on anything from Eurovision in Europe to WWE in the US to box office figures in Asia – all in one place.

Types of Entertainment Betting Markets

Entertainment events offer many of the same betting formats as sports. Let’s break down the most common markets:

Outright Winner

This is the most popular entertainment bet: Who will win? For example:

• “Who will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards?”
• “Which country will win the Eurovision Song Contest?”
• “Who will be crowned Miss USA?”

Top 3/Finalists/Placements

You can often wager on whether a participant will finish in the Top 3, Top 5, or make the final round. These are great when you believe in someone, but aren’t confident they’ll win it all.

Head-to-Head Matchups

Two nominees or contestants are compared, and you bet on who will rank higher.

Example: “Will Beyoncé finish above Taylor Swift in Grammy wins?”

Prop Bets & Special Markets

Entertainment prop bets can be especially creative:

• “Will there be a wardrobe malfunction during the show?”
• “Which presenter will cry on stage?”
• “What color will the winner wear?”

These fun, detailed props are part of what makes the category so entertaining.

Over/Under & Totals

You can also place a wager on markets like:

• Total number of hot dogs eaten (Nathan’s Contest on July 4th)
• Number of awards a film or artist will win
• Box office earnings (e.g., “Will Movie X make over $100M in its opening weekend?”)

Key Events Available for Betting at Everygame

Here’s a snapshot of some of the most popular events you can bet on, year-round:

Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Held every 4th of July in the US, this quirky food battle features over/under lines on how many dogs the champ (usually Joey Chestnut!) will eat.

Miss USA & Miss World

Bet on who will take the crown, which region will score highest, or even which gown style will trend on stage.

Academy Awards (The Oscars)

From Best Picture to Best Original Score, odds are offered on all major categories. Great for cinephiles who follow film festivals and critics' picks.

America’s Got Talent / The Voice / So You Think You Can Dance

Bet on winners, finalists, or weekly eliminations. Watch the show, read the buzz, and make predictions.

Eurovision Song Contest

One of the most heavily bet-on events outside sports, Eurovision brings national pride, big voices, and surprising upsets.

Emmy Awards / Golden Globes / Grammy Awards

Place bets on which shows or artists will dominate each category. Follow industry chatter, nomination patterns, and critic circles.

WWE Royal Rumble & Wrestlemania

Yes, you can bet on scripted wrestling! Markets include: winner of the Rumble, title match outcomes, surprise entrants, or celebrity appearances.

Scripps National Spelling Bee

A cult favorite. You can bet on the winning age, gender, or even whether the final word is more than 10 letters long.

Box Office Betting

Predict opening weekend earnings, which movie will win the week, or whether a blockbuster will break records.

Strategies for Betting on Entertainment

Entertainment betting is equal parts instinct and research. Here are a few smart ways to get the edge:

Follow Industry News & Rumors

For awards shows, reading film and music blogs can tip you off as to who’s a frontrunner. Critics’ circles, award nominations, and guild results are great indicators.

Watch the Public Buzz

Pay attention to audience polls, YouTube views, Spotify streams, Twitter trends, and betting patterns. Public sentiment often drives late betting momentum.

Use Historical Trends

For example:

• Eurovision often favors political alliances or quirky acts.
• The Academy Awards prefers artistic, message-driven films.
• The Grammys reward both sales and artistry – but not always popularity.

Embrace the Fun of Props

Some props are longshots, but very profitable if they hit. Think: "Will there be a tie?" or "Will the winner thank their pet?" The creativity in these markets is unmatched.

Hedge Bets in Wide-Open Fields

When odds are generous and the field is wide, it can be smart to bet on two or three finalists rather than just one pick.
