Bodog has released the early odds for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards which will air later this month. Aside from sporting events, awards shows are the most popular source of betting for the general public. The nominations for the show were announced last month but it took awhile for such sites to make an accurate prediction as to who they think will win big.

Early favorites include "Mad Men" for Best Drama and "Modern Family" for Best Comedy Series. "Mad Men" has odds of 23/20 and "Modern Family" has odds of 5/7. As for the best actor nominees Bryan Cranston from "Breaking Bad" appears to hold the advantage with 9/4 odds for the Best Drama Actor category and Jim Parsons from "The Big Bang Theory" has the best odds with 2/1 to win the Best Comedy Actor category. Julianna Margulies of "The Good Wife" fame has the best odds for winning Best Drama Actress with odds of 11/10 and actress Edie Falco from "Nurse Jackie" has the best odds of winning Best Comedy Actress with odds of 3/2.

There are a number of factors that betting sites take into consideration when making odds but while some sites may put a little of their personal opinion into who will or will not win Bodog tries to keep things as professional as possible.

The Emmy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon and will broadcast live on NBC on August 29th. Check out Bodog to place your bets and view the complete list of odds on the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards today.
