On the heels of Friday’s Grammy Awards nomination announcement, sports books have begun offering betting on the year’s big trophies. The lines for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album all presently favor Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n
Ice Spice and Coco Jones, meanwhile, rank as top contenders for the Best New Artist trophy — the one major category for which Swift, obviously, is not eligible.<\/p>\n
Popular sports book BetOnline.AG currently lists the following odds for those races. For those unfamiliar with how to read odds, a – number is how much you would have to risk to win $100, whereas a + number is what you would win if you risked $100.<\/p>\n
The more likely winners will obviously have lower payouts, since their win would be less surprising — and thus less impressive for a bettor.<\/p>\n
Album of the Year<\/strong> Record of the Year<\/strong> Song of the Year (Songwriter Award, but the performing artist is listed for reference)<\/strong> Pop Vocal Album<\/strong> Best New Artist<\/strong> The major takeaway is that the odds are very compressed in comparison to last year. Whereas no record or artist is priced below +800 this year, last year’s long shots were in the +3000 or +4000 territory.<\/p>\n That suggests a belief that this year’s races are more competitive, as well as a likely acknowledgement that the Grammys have been unpredictable in recent years.<\/p>\n To underscore that point, consider that none of last year’s early favorites ended up winning. In the cases of Best New Artist (Samara Joy), Song of the Year (Just Like That), and Record of the Year (About Damn Time), the eventual winners opened as massive betting long shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift is also a favorite for Best Pop Vocal Album.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":158490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[15919,74,15896,5832,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
