2019 VMA Awards Odds and Expert Betting Predictions
It's that time again, and this is a show that reminds me how old I really am! Monday, Aug. 26 is the 36th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at the Prudential Center in Newark. This will be the first VMA ceremony held in New Jersey, with Sebastian Maniscalco hosting the event.
Betting action will be running wild for the 2019 VMA's, and MyBookie sportsbook was the first global sportsbook to put betting odds on this music event. From what I have seen so far, there is money to be made Monday night at Prudential Center, and I see one or two plus-money winners on some of these VMA betting propositions. Awards shows like this are such a great betting option because a sharp handicapper can easily score a big profit, especially at the VMA's and even the Grammy Awards.
This is my first time tackling the Video Music Awards -- but not my first time posting odds over at MyBookie -- and we are hoping for the same success as other entertainment award shows. If you are going to place some cash on the VMA's, I highly recommend betting them early because these numbers will move quickly because of low limits.
The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards are on Monday, Aug. 26, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. EST on MTV

Song of the Year
Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road -200
Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next +250
Taylor Swift - You Need to Calm Down +400
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga - Shallow +500
Drake - In My Feelings +550
Jonas Brothers - Sucker +600
Free Predictions: If 'Old Town Road' doesn't win Song of the Year, I would be completely shocked. I believe getting -200 is still great value, and if someone steals this category it will be Taylor Swift at +400.
Pick: Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road -200
Best New Artist
Billie Eilish -300
Lil Nas X +250
Lizzo +500
Ava Max +650
H.E.R +700
Rosalia +850
Free Prediction: Billie Eilish opened as a -180 favorite for Best New Artist, and bettors have pushed Eilish now -300, and I still think laying that heavy number is good value. I know getting Lil Nas X +250 looks tempting, but like I said up above, Lil Nas wins Song of the Year.
Pick: Billie Eilish -300
Best Collaboration
BTS feat. Halsey -200
Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road +250
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga - Shallow +550

Lenny Kravitz - Low +350
Fall Out Boy - Bishops Knife +400
Twenty One Pilots - My Blood +500
The 1975 - Love It If We Made It +600
Free Prediction: Calling for the upset in the Best Rock category Monday night! Panic at the Disco wins this category, and I really thought the public would have bet them down, but all the action has come in on Imagine Dragons and Lenny Kravitz. I will take the +190 with Panic at the Disco and cash Monday night.
