A huge night in television, the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will honor the best in American prime television programming throughout the last two years. The main awards ceremony is set for January 15, 2024, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, following a delay from September 2023 due to the 2023 Hollywood Labor disputes. With this in mind, Xbet of course has gotten in on the fun with the latest betting markets and odds for the Emmy Awards showcase. Per the main site, Succession is the leading favorite for Outstanding Series: Drama at -2000 and also has representation in multiple other categories on the website. This includes other outlets like best actor, actress, etc. Indeed with so many different categories and excellent material from the last couple of years, there are all kinds of engaging betting markets in this latest update from Xbet. 

In this report, SBS will be going over what to look for from the latest news coming from Xbet and also some more notes and information about the website. 

Succession leads the way in Xbet drama series markets

As referenced above, Succession is a huge favorite in many of the drama categories featured on Xbet. For those not aware, Succession has received widespread critical acclaim across all four seasons for its writing, acting, and the examination of its subject matter. In the past, the series has won two wins for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 2020 and 2022. Moreover, actors Jeremy Strong (Kendall Roy) and Matthew Macfayden (Tom Wambsgans) have received the Primetime Emmy Awards for their performances. Meanwhile in this category of Outstanding Drama Series, “The Last of Us,” also available on HBO’s Max platform is a solid contender to win at +800. Per its website, the series is set twenty years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which causes the hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures, and is based on the hit video game series from Naughty Dog. 

Regarding the category of best actor in a drama series, Succession’s Kieran Culkin leads the way at -160 for his performance as Roman Roy in the series. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal, who portrays Joel in The Last of Us, is the second leading contender here at +350. Pascal plays Joel who is a hardened middle-aged survivor who is “tormented by the trauma of his past.” Meanwhile, Bob Odenkirk of Better Call Saul is a sneaky pick here at +550. Odenkirk has been lauded for his role in this series and for transforming the character into a ubiquitous legal pop culture icon.

As a special note, there are two other Succession actors noted in this category: Strong at +470 and Brian Cox who played the head of the family, Logan Roy, at +2800. Both actors have received accolades in these roles, especially the latter for his brilliant portrayal of the ruthless media tycoon. 

Ted Lasso and The Bear duking it out for comedy title

According to the main site at Xbet, Ted Lasso (Apple TV) and The Bear (FX) are the main contenders for winning Outstanding (Best) Comedy Series at -100 each. For those unfamiliar, the former follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is hired to coach an English soccer team, and while he is inexperienced, his folksy, optimistic leadership proves unexpectedly successful. Meanwhile, The Bear follows an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the “chaotic kitchen” at his deceased brother’s sandwich shop. The other top shows in this category are Abbott Elementary (+800) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (+3300). However, it would appear this is a two-horse race given the current odds from Xbet and the consensus from the public and prior award shows for the respective performances from Ted Lasso and The Bear. 

As a final note in this report, Succession’s Sarah Snook (Siobhan Roy) is the overwhelming favorite in Xbet’s betting markets to win the award for Best Actress in a Drama Series at -1500. She is currently favored over the likes of Melanie Lynskey (Yellow Jackets, +650) and Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, +900) to make a splash and take home the gold at this year’s awards showcase. Meanwhile, in the Best Comedy Actress category on the website, Quinta Brunson is the top choice at -150 for her performance in Abbott Elementary. However, this should be a tighter race with Christina Applegate (Dead to Me, +200) and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, +400) both chasing her heels.
