As a general rule, Bodog Sportsbook sets a lower maximum limit for entertainment betting than, say, the Stanley Cup Finals or other sporting events. But the rules can change when you’re one of our premium VIP bettors. If you’re a high-roller looking to bet big bucks on what’s happening with the rich and famous – or anything else in the world of entertainment – contact our Customer Service team, and we’ll see what we can arrange for you.
Some of the bets on our entertainment odds board attract more high-rollers than others. Proposition bets (“prop” bets for short) are especially attractive – the crazier, the better. And the VIP set always seems to come out for red-carpet events like the Academy Awards. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s on the board right now at Bodog. The maximum limits for some of these wagers will be easier to lift than others, but because you’re a VIP, we’re very keen to hear your requests.
Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump
Entertainment and politics betting often overlap at Bodog Sportsbook, and thanks to Donald Trump, the line between the two has never been blurrier. As we go to press, there are two specific Trump bets that have made the crossover, and they both involve his newest target, none other than Elon Musk.
First, we have a long list of potential interactions all rolled up into one set of Musk/Trump specials. At the top of the list is:
Trump to meet with Musk in person in 2025
The President of the United States said this past Friday that he’s “too busy” with foreign policy to even think about Musk right now, but the odds say it’s likely to happen at –170. Somewhat less likely during this calendar year is:
Trump putting Musk in jail (+1200)
In addition to all of these specials, we have celebrity boxing odds for a potential matchup between these two frenemies. Any type of combat sport will do – as long as they put up their dukes and fight it out in 2025. Musk is the clear favourite at –500, but you know Trump (+300) will have something up his sleeve if he lets this happen.
100 Humans vs. 1 Silverback Gorilla
It seems the betting public thinks it would be a fairer fight if you put 100 people in the ring with a silverback. This thought experiment is probably a lot older than its first recorded appearance in 2020, when it was posted on Reddit, but it didn’t go viral until TikTok grabbed hold in 2022. This past April, YouTube personality MrBeast posted in jest (?) that he was looking for 100 male volunteers to fight said gorilla, giving this meme its latest boost in popularity.
We certainly can’t have anything like that happening in the real world, but a simulated fight is exactly the kind of thing they show these days on the Discovery Channel. So who would win? As long as said program airs in 2025, the favourite is “100 Humans” at –300, with our poor outnumbered primate pegged at +200.
It might seem at first blush like the silverback doesn’t stand a chance. But as with Musk vs. Trump, it all depends on the rules of combat. The scientific consensus has the humans winning via collaborative effort, but if this is a “gauntlet” match with the gorilla facing them one at a time, it’s Game Over for our homo sapiens.
2025 Oscars
Speaking of ugly fights, the 98th Academy Awards will take place at some point in 2026, and judging by what went down this past March, the Oscars are just about anyone’s to win – unless you’re Demi Moore, apparently.
It’s very early in this year’s race, but Marty Supreme is the narrow +300 favourite here at Bodog for Best Picture; Timothée Chalamet is both the lead and the co-producer of this Christmas Day 2025 release, putting him on top of the Best Actor odds at +200.
For Best Actress, we have Cynthia Erivo as the +180 chalk for her upcoming appearance in Wicked: For Good, the sequel to the movie that earned Erivo her second Oscar nomination in this category. And for Best Director, we have a three-way tie at +500 among Celine Song (Materialists), Guillermo del Toro (Frankenstein) and Spike Lee (Highest 2 Lowest).
James Bond Specials
There’s never been a better avatar for the VIP lifestyle than Commander James Bond. But the last time we saw our hero, he was blown to smithereens in No Time to Die (2021), presumably ending Daniel Craig’s tenure as the fictional MI6 agent.
Naturally, everyone wants to know who’s next in line. This is the first time that we’ve seen Bond actually killed off; there are ways for the franchise to get around this, such as having “James Bond” be a pseudonym for whichever spy is assigned Agent No. 007. As long as they call him Bond and not just 007, Aaron Tyler-Johnson remains the favourite at +110, having been rumoured as Craig’s replacement for quite some time.
It’s not just Bond himself that has all the high-rollers wondering what’s next. The entire franchise is at the crossroads, with Amazon MGM securing full creative control from Eon Productions this past February. The plan is to continue Bond’s adventures, but when? It almost certainly won’t be until at least until 2026 (+300), but more likely 2027 or 2028 (each at +200).
Also available on Bodog’s list of James Bond specials: the next director, with Edward Berger (Conclave) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) listed as the +200 co-favourites, plus the next artist for the theme song, with Dua Lipa (“New Rules”) well ahead of the pack at +200.
Royal Family
Finally, we have that most majestic of all Very Important People, the British Royal Family. There’s almost always something to bet on at Bodog when it comes to King Charles III and the other members of the Royal Household – which still includes Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And yes, it still includes Prince Andrew, Duke of York, although none of the three has any royal duties anymore.
The Royal Family’s reputation may be besmirched somewhat, but recent political events have drawn Anglo-Canadians closer to the mother country. King Charles has been all over the news lately; on May 27, His Majesty opened the first session of the latest Parliament by delivering the Speech from the Throne, during which he defended Canadian sovereignty in the face of Trump’s expansionist rhetoric.
The applause King Charles received suggests we’ll be looking towards Europe for support these next four years or so. Will Canada hold a monarchy abolition referendum before 2030? “Yes” is a massive underdog at +700, but keep in mind, that’s down from around +800 just two years ago.
Australians have had an even frostier relationship with the Royal Family, so without Trump on their southern border – or any land border at all – it’s no surprise to see “Yes” for that same abolition referendum prop at +400, again moving from +800. Even the United Kingdom itself is edging closer to calling it quits, with “Yes” shortening from +6600 to +3500 since the spring of 2023.
All of these entertainment odds and more are waiting for you right now at Bodog Sportsbook. Is there a different Musk vs. Trump special or a James Bond prop we haven’t listed, or anything else you want to bet on? If you’re a VIP, the world is your oyster. Reach out to our Customer Service team, and we’ll happily give you the preferential treatment you deserve.
