DraftKings Sportsbook director Johnny Avello said last year that his trading team relies on trade publications like GoldDerby, which specializes in tracking and predicting entertainment awards shows, to make the odds for the Oscars. He told ESPN ahead of this year's ceremony that one added factor is the continued emergence of prediction markets, which are perhaps more in tune with non-sports-related wagering and rely more closely on the movement of markets.

An Over/Under bet, also called a total, is a wager on the combined number of points, runs, or goals scored in a game. The sportsbook sets a line, and bettors choose whether the final score will go over (more than the posted total) or under (less than the posted total). It's one of the most popular bet types across major sports like the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL, giving fans a way to bet on the flow of the game rather than which team wins.
