Oscar Predictions Betting
We get a WBC Junior Lightweight title bout between Miguel Berchelt and Oscar Valdez at the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas tonight. The 12-round fight is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we break down the Berchelt-Valdez odds, with boxing picks and predictions.
Berchelt (37-1-1) meets fellow the Mexican Valdez (22-6) in Las Vegas looking to retain his WBC strap. His fight June 27, 2020 against Eleazer Valenzuela in Mexico City was officially ruled a no contest as the fight was not sanctioned by the Mexico City Boxing Commission, much to Berchelt’s dismay. Prior to that he made quick work of Jason Sosa in a four-round knockout on Nov. 2, 2019. Berchelt has registered 37 victories in his career, with 33 by KO/TKO, one by disqualification and just three by decision. His only loss on March 15, 2014 against Luis Eduardo Florez came in a Round 1 knockout in Palenque, Mexico, but he is a completely different fighter from nearly seven years ago.
Valdez (28-0-0) has never lost, and he has picked up 22 fights by way of KO/TKO with six decisions. He posted a TKO in Round 10 over Jayson Velez last time out in this very same venue, and a Round 7 TKO against Adam Lopez at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas prior to that. Four of his past seven fights have ended up going the distance.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:45 p.m. ET.
Berchelt (-400) will be making his seventh title defense, and this might be the most difficult. Valdez (+275) has yet to taste defeat in his career, and he’ll be a tough out. This fight might get off to a rather slow start, and Valdez will give Berchelt a run for his money.
But by the middle rounds, the bigger Berchelt will start to wear Valdez down. Berchelt is the more powerful fighter with a heavy punch, and he isn’t easy to knock down. He is still very expensive on the 3-way line, costing you four times your potential return.
BERCHELT BY KO/TKO/TECHNICAL DECISION OR DQ (+160) is a much better value, and the only way you lose is if the judges get involved, or obviously if Valdez pulls the upset.
In Round Group Betting 2, target ROUNDS 7-9 (+275) for the fight to be won. If you want a little more wiggle room, in Round Group Betting 4, ROUNDS 7-12 (+150) is a little less risky.

Each branch has at least one category, in which specific branch members nominate and vote on winners. Directors nominate and vote for directors, production designers nominate and vote for other production designers, etc...
Best Picture Oscars Voting
The Best Picture category is the only category that uses a different voting system to pick its winner. All the other categories, members get just one vote. With the Best Picture category, members rank the movies in order of preference.
This is because there are so many nominations for Best Picture now (up to nine in 2020), the Academy wanted to avoid a winner only receiving a possible 10% of votes. The system used for the Best Picture category is known as 'preferential voting'.
This system, according to Variety adds up all the No. 1 votes first. If those votes exceed 50% then the film wins, although this is apparently a very rare circumstance.
If a film that receives the most No. 1 votes is under 50%, then the counting goes to the most No. 2 votes until a film exceeds 50%. If no film has over 50% of the votes after counting all No. 1 and No. 2 votes, then the counting moves to the most No. 3 votes. This is repeated until a film goes over the 50% mark.
How to Bet on 2021 Oscars Odds
Betting on the Oscars is no different than a typical sports wager. You have your typical money-line for one favorite and multiple underdogs. This betting is most common with motorsports or golf betting, essentially 'group betting' a winner. Below is an example of what odds looked liked for one of last year's categories.
2020 Best Picture Odds
- 1917 (-167)
- Parasite (+200)
- Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (+950)
- Joker (+1250)
- The Irishman (+6600)
- Jojo Rabbit (+9000)
- Marriage Story (+10000)
- Little Women (+15000)
- Ford v Ferrari (+25000)
If a bettor wanted to wager on Parasite to win Best Picture, then it would cost a bettor $100 to possibly win back $300 ($100 wager + $200 winnings). If a bettor wanted to wager on 1917 to win instead, then it would cost a bettor $167 to possibly win back $267 ($167 wager + $100 winnings).
