The statistical relationship between Best Sound and Best Film Editing at the Oscars is strong. When paired through the lens of betting and the current odds on offer for Top Gun: Maverick, this could be one of the best bets of the year.
From the last thirteen years of Oscars history:
A nomination in Best Sound and win in Best Film Editing has correlated thirteen times, or a flawless 100%
A nomination in Best Film Editing and win in Best Sound has correlated twelve times, or 92%
A win in Best Sound and Best Film Editing has correlated ten times, or 77%
Previously a best bet recommendation was for Top Gun: Maverick to win Best Picture at $21. These craft bets will prime you for profits on Oscar Sunday
95th Academy Awards - Best Film Editing - Top Gun: Maverick
Yesterday we published several best bets for the 2023 Academy Awards, but it was the folk at Unibet or Tabtouch who drank too much coffee, or too much gin, or both. Whatever the concoction, the pricing is so wrong, it is so right for Oscars bettors.
Twelve of seventeen, or 71% of experts on Gold Derby have Top Gun: Maverick as the top prediction to win Best Film Editing. Within this list, Top Gun: Maverick is top choice by the best of Gold Derby including Peter Travers, Wilson Morales, Anne Thompson and Joyce Eng.
My ratings have Maverick to win this with a 45% probability or $2.22. Tabtouch and Unibet have presented enormous odds at $5.50, a stunning 148% price edge.
Based on the percentage edge alone, I am upgrading this best best to high conviction status. Get as much as you can on.
