ST. JOHN'S, Antigua, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- With the jury still out and
several months left until the announcement of the official Oscar nominations,
the odds makers at BetWWTS.com have already begun calculating the odds for the
79th Annual Academy Awards. BetWWTS.com, the first bookmaker in the world to
offer betting lines on the Oscars, has released early odds on the top 10
contenders for Best Motion Picture.
    Among the top contenders for best picture is "Jarhead," a fact-based drama
from "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes; "Brokeback Mountain," a romantic
drama set in 1963, starring Heath Ledger; and "Munich," a dramatic recount of
the Israeli attempt to avenge the 1972 Munich Massacre.  Noticeably at the
bottom of the list is "Cinderella Man." With such big names as director Ron
Howard, Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger, this movie was an instant hit and
thought to be a big Oscar contender, however, the buzz has faded on this one
and we see it struggling to make the cut on nomination day.
    When asked about the early release of odds on the Oscars, BetWWTS.com
Lines Manager Michael Perry explained that the company pioneered the release
of Oscar odds in 2002, which created a huge interest in Oscar betting and that
this year they are looking to add a unique element that will capture and keep
the attention of movie fanatics.  "Every year, we release odds on the major
categories right after the nominees are announced; that worked for a few years
but the bettors are getting tired of the routine," he commented. "This year,
we will be releasing early odds on the major category, which is Best Motion
Picture, and follow their performance along with the critics and movie fans."
    A leading offshore gaming company for over 10 years, BetWWTS.com is known
for its unique entertainment offerings and has created odds on the Emmys,
Golden Globes and a number of reality TV shows.
