The hype is real regarding a new Hollywood blockbuster, and BetUS has released a score of future props regarding “The Odyssey.” Per the site, The Odyssey 2026 is a film set to be released in July starring a bevy of Hollywood luminaries including Matt Damon, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway. Of course, the film tells the story of Homer’s epic classic tale featuring Odysseus, the Greek of Ithaca, and his perilous journey home following the Trojan War. With that in mind, BetUS is one of the only online sportsbooks to offer wagering on its future at the Academy Awards for qualified customers.
For this article, SBS will be going over the latest gaming updates coming from BetUS, along with some additional notes and information coming from the website and beyond.
Noted on the site, a star-studded cast in the Odyssey movie is what has entertainment news buzzing with excitement, as Matt Damon plays the legendary King Odysseus. Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway plays the role of his long-suffering wife, Penelope, pining for her husband’s arrival after the Trojan War. The Odyssey is scheduled to debut this July, and BetUS has the following questions on its betting menu for those interested in predicting its performance compared to others.
Per the site, here are the betting markets laid out at BetUS: “The Odyssey to have more Academy Award nominations than Oppenheimer (13)”. Additionally, will The Odyssey have more Academy Award wins than Oppenheimer at seven? Finally, will The Odyssey be nominated for Best Picture and Best Director?
In addition to the above-mentioned actors, entertainment rumors were rife with speculation about which stars would be playing what characters. However, we have since discovered that cultural icon and the supremely talented Zendaya plays the goddess Athena. Conversely, Academy Award winner Charlize Theron plays Circe, the Goddess of Sorcery. There is also a “litany of stars” too numerous to mention in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of one of the world’s oldest poems. As with any cultural phenomenon catching fire, the oddsmakers at BetUS have recently added “The Odyssey” betting odds to its extensive novelty props market, which can be viewed by anyone visiting the site and used by eligible customers.
Also covered in the same report, BetUS has focused its efforts on not only becoming the pioneer in quirky, offbeat markets but also catering to those whose interests may lie outside the realm of sports. The novelty props markets, established and led by BetUS, the site said, is a unique way to engage people and betting enthusiasts in markets not commonly offered by online sportsbooks.
Per the same report, The Odyssey is only one segment of this ever-expanding market from BetUS, with props dealing lines on everything from politics to science and entertainment. If there is a subject being discussed around the office water cooler, chances are BetUS has it on their novelty props market. Innovation and imagination intersect at BetUS, and their oddsmakers are keen on delivering the kinds of questions that promote opinions and, ultimately, wagers.
Noted above, this is just a sample of some of the trending topics BetUS guests will find on their novelty props menu, and their oddsmakers add to that list daily. In regard to more of the film itself, The Odyssey is a work by the great ancient Greek poet Homer, who wrote the poem in the 8th century BCE, and it has astoundingly stood the test of time. Moreover, the film adaptation conveys the long, perilous journey home by Ithaca’s King Odysseus after the Trojan War. During this, he faces legions of enemies and the whims of the gods, who serve as obstacles to reuniting with his wife.
Noted on the article, the central theme of the Odyssey is a depiction of the human condition and how it can overcome trials and tribulations. Survival at all costs is at stake, and the allure of home and family is the catalyst in persevering during times of struggle, the site says. Regarding award nomination prop lines, BetUS has several prop questions on its menu regarding “The Odyssey,” but the line for The Odyssey to be nominated for Best Picture and Best Director is Yes at -200 and No at +150. Indeed, this film has the makings of another summer blockbuster, and it appears that BetUS is also over it when it comes to getting their customers engaged.
