GRAMMY BETTING ODDS

On the eve of the 64th Grammy Awards, which, as you know, take place in Las Vegas this year, we decided to see where online sportsbooks see the night going. Sites are primarily just listing odds for the Big Four categories, with some including Country Album of the Year. We’re referencing Bovada Sportsbook’s odds (priced as of 4/2) because that’s where some HITS degenerates while away their days, and more importantly, it went the extra mile and included a line on if a presenter will be slapped (+1400).

Geffen’s Olivia Rodrigo is a favorite to sweep The Big Four, which was last achieved way back in 2020 by labelmate Billie Eilish. Besides Best New Artist, the other three are anything but locked up. Chris Stapleton’s Starting Over is favored to win Country Album of the Year. As anyone who gambles during March Madness can attest… Ya just never know.

Note: (-) means favorite; bet the (-), win $100. (+) means underdog; bet $100 to win the (+). Betting $175 on Rodrigo to win AOY would win $100, while betting $100 on Jon Batiste to upset for AOY would win $4,000.
