On September 12, 2023, at 8:00 PM, MTV’s annual Video Music Awards will begin at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, NJ. Taylor Swift has received eight VMA nominations for 2023, the most of any artist this year.
SZA has been nominated for six MTV Video Music Awards and comes in second behind Swift. Six other artists are tied with five nominations each.
In anticipation of this event, online entertainment sportsbooks have created VMA odds for five major categories. The four VMA props that include Swift feature her in the lead in all cases.
MTV Video Music Award Odds For Best Pop Video Of The Year
- Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero -130
- Miley Cyrus – Flowers +225
- Olivia Rodrigo – Vampire +400
- Dua Lipa – Dance the Night +700
- Ed Sheeran – Eyes Closed +900
- Demi Lovato +1700
- Pink – Trustfall +1900
The Best Pop Video of the Year odds favor Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero by 155 points over Miley Cyrus’ Flowers. Have a look at the two videos before you decide where to place your bets.
MTV Video Music Award Odds For Artist Of The Year
- Taylor Swift -115
- Nicki Minaj EVEN
- Beyonce +700
- Karol G +700
- Shakira +2400
- Doja Cat +2500
Swift is also favored in entertainment prop bets for Artist of the Year, but her lead is very slim over Nicki Minaj, who is drawing even money. Swift’s album 1989 has sold over 5 million copies thus far in 2023.
Rumors suggest that Nicki Minaj will drop Pink Friday 2 in November of this year. 1989 is already making the rounds, which could give Swift the edge she needs to win on September 12th.
MTV Video Music Award Odds For Song Of The Year
- Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero -200
- Miley Cyrus – Flowers +400
- SZA – Kill Bill +450
- Sam Smith & Kim Petras – Unholy +600
- Olivia Rodrigo – Vampire +700
- Rema and Selena Gomez – Calm Down +1400
- Steve Lacy – Bad Habit +1900
Swifties rejoice as Taylor is favored to win Song of the Year as well with her hit Anti-Hero. Miley’s Flowers is a distant second, but SZA’s Kill Bill could be an underdog worth considering.
Have a look at SZA’s video for Kill Bill and think about laying some action on her +450 odds to win ($4.50 net profits for each dollar wagered).
MTV Video Music Award Odds For Video Of The Year
- Taylor Swift – Anti-Hero -110
- Miley Cyrus – Flowers +150
- SZA – Kill Bill +450
- Olivia Rodrigo – Vampire +500
- Nicki Minaj – Super Freaky Girl +900
- Doja Cat – Attention +1400
Anti-Hero, Flowers, and Kill Bill are the top three odds-getters for Video of the Year odds, with Olivia Rodrigo sneaking into the top four with Vampire. Could Rodrigo walk away with the 2023 VMA Award? Not likely, but have a look at the video for Vampire before you rule her out.
MTV Video Music Award Odds For Best New Artist Of The Year
- Ice Spice EVEN
- Peso Pluma +175
- PinkPantheress +300
- Renee Rapp +700
- GloRilla +1400
- Kaliii +2400
Taylor Swift has won fourteen VMAs during her illustrious career as a musician. However, that disqualifies her from being a part of the above entertainment prop, as it is for the Best New Artist of the Year. Ice Spice is the most likely artist to win, with 1-to-1 payouts available right now.
Of all the sites included in our online sportsbook reviews, only BetUS features 2023 VMA betting odds at the moment. Ultimately, we expect that to change as the VMAs draw near, but the above profit margins demand that gamblers consider placing a wager right now.
