Latest 2024 Billboard Music Awards Odds & Picks

The 2024 Billboard Music Awards odds are live at BetOnline and other entertainment betting sites. What this means is that there’s nothing stopping you from betting on your favorite musicians. Of course, you might want to learn as much as you can about this year’s nominees before placing any bets.

If that’s the case, you’re at the right place because I’ll now dissect the chances of top favorites for all the major award categories. But first, let’s see what Billboard odds are suggesting.

Current Odds for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards

If you would like to bet on the Billboard Music Awards, you can do it at BetOnline. This is one of the best entertainment betting sites in the world, the evidence being that it covers the six most popular categories.

You can see the odds for each of those in the next part.

Morgan Wallen is a huge favorite, with Billboard odds of -500. Is there a way someone can upset the odds? Perhaps Post Malone, who got himself into the country music waters this year?

Rock veterans Blink-182 and Coldplay are among the nominees for the best group, but their odds are nowhere near as short as those of Stray Kids. The K-Pop band is a huge -500 favorite to win the award on December 12.

Who’s gonna win the Billboard Award for the best Latin artist of 2024? Judging by the odds, it’s going to be Karol G, whose odds are -150. Bad Bunny isn’t far behind, though.

SZA is the betting favorite to win the Top R&B Artist Award with the odds of -150. Tyla, whose odds are +300 is just behind, followed by The Weeknd at +500.

Kendrick Lamar’s odds are surprisingly long. At -200, he looks like every good bet. Should you (or should you not) back him to win is what I’ll explain later on in this preview. So, keep on reading!

As you can see, there’s a clear betting favorite for each of those markets. The fiercest competition seems to be for the Top Latin Artist award and the Top R&B Artist, where Karol G and SZA are top favorites respectively. Each of them is priced at -150.

Three artists share the top spot on the list of the biggest favorites, each with -500 Billboard odds. Those are Zach Bryan (Top Rock Artist), Stray Kids (Top Duo/Group), and Morgan Wallen (Top Country Artist).

BetOnline is your best choice for Billboard Music Awards betting. Not only does this site offer odds for six categories, but the odds are pretty good, even for the biggest favorites.

Best Bets for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards

Kendrick Lamar to win the 2024 Billboard award for the Top Rap Artist is my favorite bet. The reason? I think his GNX album is a masterpiece.

He released it a few weeks ago, and I’ve been playing it on repeat since.

Kendrick Lamar's 'GNX' is now the #1 highest rated rap album of 2024 with a score of 91 on Metacritic 🔥🏆

But it’s not just me who’s obsessed with Kendrick’s latest release – people from Billboard think so too! The website staff has put GNX in the No.4 place on the list of the best 2024 albums.

It’s the best-ranked rap album, which makes me confident he’s going to win the award. The best thing is that the odds are -200, so there’s plenty of value as well.

Zach Bryan and Stray Kids have much shorter odds, but that’s another evidence of how likely they are to win their respective awards. It’s not just that they’ve done great in 2024, but their main competitors have not. That’s enough for me to back them.

Top 2024 Billboard Music Awards Sleepers

SZA (-150) is the main favorite to win the Top R&B Artist Award, but I’m not so sure about that.

Sure, she did feature a lot on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album, but I don’t think that’s enough. She’s also supposed to release a new album, but that probably won’t happen before the Billboard Music Awards ceremony on December 12.

Tyla, on the other hand, has taken over the R&B world this year with a self-titled debut album. It’s received nothing but praise both from fans and critics. On Metacritic, the Tyla album holds an 84/100 rating, which makes it one of the top 100 albums of the year.

Post Malone’s first country album, F-1 Trillion, has a 71/100 rating on Metacritic, but I still think he might win. One of those songs from that album is I Had Some Help, which he made together with the No. 1 favorite to win the country award, Morgan Wallen.

Given that Wallen still hasn’t released his 2024, I wouldn’t be surprised if the jury’s vote went to Malone. On top of everything, his 2024 Billboard Music Awards odds are so good (+600) that I think it would be a shame not to back the guy.

Tips for Betting on the Billboard Music Awards

Whatever your entertainment betting strategy might be, there are some Billboard betting tips you need to learn about. I’ve got three such tips for you, which you can see in the following section.

Check the Artist Bio

Wikipedia is your friend. Just find the artist you’re thinking about backing and see what they’ve done in the last 12 months. If they were busy this year – releasing albums, going on tours, etc. – it’s very likely that Billboard is going to recognize their efforts.

See What Critics Have to Say

The Billboard Music Awards Winners are decided by professional music critics affiliated with this magazine. So, a good idea would be to check what their colleagues have to say about the nominees.

Sites like Metacritic, AllMusic, NME, Pitchford, and Rolling Stone are where you can see the ratings of songs and albums.

Check Charts

The Billboard Awards are given to artists who are loved both by critics and the public. I’ve already explained where to look for experts’ opinions, now it’s time to learn how to measure the love regular people have for an artist.

You can do it by going to YouTube and checking the number of views, as well as likes and dislikes. For example, Post Malone’s I Had Some Help has more than 130 million views with over 950,000 likes.

In addition to YouTube, you can check the charts on Spotify. Of course, you mustn’t forget to check how the songs are doing on Billboard’s charts (especially the Hot 100 chart).

2024 Billboard Music Awards Predictions   

There you have it, my top Billboard Music Awards predictions. I’m backing betting favorites in most cases, but I do plan to bet on some underdogs as well, namely, Post Malone and Tyla.

Of course, I won’t put too much money on those. But their odds make them definitely worth a bet, even with only 10-20 dollars.

I also think all the -500 favorites are worth backing with much more cash. And the same goes for Kendrick Lamar, whose odds are -200.

Betting on the 2024 Billboard Music Awards

The 2024 Billboard Music Awards night is on December 12, so you’ve got a few more days left to place your bets. My advice is to do it ASAP before, and if you’re going to listen to my suggestion, go to BetOnline.

Once you’re there, look for the 2024 Billboard Music Awards odds and place your bets. Hopefully, my predictions have helped you make up your mind, but if you want me to recommend one single best bet, it would be Kendrick Lamar.

His album is among the top albums of the year according to the Billboard staff, and several songs from that album are still at the top of the Hot 100 chart. For me, that’s enough to back this guy.
