- Watch the 2024 BET Awards At 8 PM On June 30th
- Taraji P. Henson Will Host The Ceremony
Since 2021, Black Entertainment Television has been recognizing the finest performances by African-American or minority artists and athletes. This year’s ceremony is just 12 days away, and some of our favorite online gambling sites have created odds for most categories.
Legal entertainment betting is only possible using an offshore sportsbook site due to a self-imposed abstinence by local markets. While that does mean gambling at a brick-and-mortar sportsbook isn’t possible in the USA, there are plenty of options online that focus on odds for awards shows.

Take the above two entertainment prop bets as an example. Kendrick Lamar and Drake are embroiled in a years-long beef, and bragging rights will be at stake when the BET Best Male Hip Hop Artist award is handed out. If BET is hesitant to weigh in on the feud, perhaps executives will pivot and award an underdog the honors.
Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat are locked in a dead heat for Best Female Hip Hop Artist, and both of them will deliver a little more money than what you risk if they win.
