Since its inception in 1981 in New York City, MTV has been a top entertainment network worldwide. After massive success in the industry, it started hosting the MTV Movie Awards in 1992 to commemorate the best films and film stars for a given year.
2022 marks the 30th anniversary of this well-accepted program, and it’s destined to be held on June 5 (June 6, according to European Standard Time). Did you know that even the MTV Movie and TV Awards can be an awesome market for betting?
Yes, it’s not the sports that punters can bet on anymore. Awards like this and political events are considered good markets for special betting now.
We’re bringing it up because the latest odds for the movies, shows, and actors are out across the bookmakers. It was only a matter of time as the full list of nominees was declared on May 11. Let’s go over the list first before going into the odds themselves.

There are many other categories, but we don’t think you’re interested in them for betting purposes. Now, let’s go over the nominees with the best odds across the safest bookmakers in the world.
This section lists the movies and actors the bookies think are most likely to win. You don’t necessarily have to go with their choice, but it’s a great way to get a baseline.
“Spiderman: No Way Home” surely takes the win as a favorite for this year. This action-packed Marvel movie with 3 different Spider-Men has undoubtedly put a face to the memes we’ve seen all these years. You indeed know what we’re talking about, right? 22Bet, a renowned online bookmaker, has pegged No Way Home at 1.20 odds. It’s phenomenal if you look at the 2nd favorite, “The Batman”, with 7.00 odds.
Like the movie itself, Tom Holland is considered the favorite as the best actor for this year’s show. But the gap between the odds is not as severe between Tom Holland, Lady Gaga, and Robert Pattinson. What you can do is go for arbitrage betting to cover your ground. It’s going to be tough competition.
TV Shows have always been a challenge for bookmakers as it’s hard to determine the favorite. But bookies seem to be split between “Euphoria” and “Loki”. “Euphoria” is going for 2.5 odds, while “Loki” is boasting 3.1.
Last but not least, Zendaya might be taking the award home this year for her spectacular performance in “Euphoria”. Syndey Sweeney is riding the closest odds for the same shows. It’s going to be interesting who the fans choose.
The show is destined to take place on June 5, Sunday, in Santa Monica. You can catch the show on MTV (duh!) from most countries. Or, you can easily see it on the bookmakers’ platforms where live streaming for this award show is offered.
