The Grammys is an award show, the name of which comes from the award itself. The name “Grammys” comes from Gramophone Award, which is what it used to be known as. This award show has been going for close to 6 decades, issued by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, who are based in the United States.

The Grammys were designed to recognize excellence in the music industry, and this is one of the biggest honours that a musician, a band or a songwriter can get. The main Grammy awards are for Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year, but there are other awards as well, often based on specific genres of music.

The Grammys get a lot of stick. The Simpsons are notorious for the way they mock this award show and many other comedians and comedy shows have followed suit, but for an artist, a grammy is a big award, a great acknowledgement of their achieve. There are few (if any) awards that are bigger than this, which is why it is often called the Academy Awards of the music industry. Some of the biggest winners of this award include Georg Solti, a conductor that won 31 awards, and the rock band U2, who won 22 awards and are the group to have won the most awards.

As with everything else in the modern age, you can bet on the Grammys. This is much the same as the markets that are available on the Academy Awards, although whereas the Oscars tend to go to films that don’t necessarily deserve it, the Grammys usually go to those who do deserve it. This means the markets tend to be tighter, but the chance of winning are also improved, especially if you know your stuff when it comes to music.

The Best Place to Gamble on the Grammys

BetFair were one of the first sites to start branching out, with markets on award shows, TV programs and more. Others followed, as they are wont to do, but BetFair remained the biggest, with a great variety of markets and better odds on all of them. The beauty of BetFair is that it is a betting exchange, with thousands of people competing against each other to offer members the best odds. This creates competition the likes of which you simply don’t find on sports books, and it means that BetFair usually have far better odds than any other site.

For this reason, BetFair is the best place to gamble on the Grammys, and everything else for that matter. BetFair is available all over the world, which is why it is often called the World’s Largest Gambling Community. Not only does that include Canada, but there are already a great deal of Canadians on the site. So, if you want to bet on the Grammys then feel free to join your comrades. If you’re already signed up and want some tips on winning, then read on.

Tips for Betting on the Grammys

Not sure who will win a particular award but have a good idea that the favourite won’t win it? You’re in luck. On BetFair you can put a “Lay” on, as opposed to a bet. When you do this you are essentially acting as the bookmaker, offering other users some odds. If they take those odds and lose, then you collect. If they don’t then you pay a set amount, agreed upon prior to the bet.

You don’t always get as much money as you would from a standard bet, unless of course you’re betting against an odds-on favourite, but this is a great way to steadily build a profit.

Research and knowledge is also important here as it is in any other market. Don’t go into it blind and don’t think that just because you have heard a song and think it’s the best, or just because you prefer a band or singer more than some of the others, that they will win. Use the internet to see what others think. See how popular these songs and these acts are. What are their Youtube ratings like, how many FaceBook fans do they have, how much airtime do their songs get? All of these are indicators of success and popularity, and all of these can help you to choose a winner in any of the markets available on the Grammys.

You should also try and get in early, preferably as soon as the nominations have been announced and the markets are open. At this point the bookmakers will favour the biggest bands and the most successful songs, but they don’t always win and if you place your bets early enough then you can get some very big awards on the eventual winner.
