What Is A Prop Bet?
In case you aren't in the know, "prop bets" are short for "proposition bets". What makes award show prop bets so popular is their ability to call attention away from the "winners and losers", and towards outcomes other than the main event at hand.
Not a movie connoisseur? Have no fear- whether or not you had a chance to catch 2019's most outstanding films, you can still find some really interesting props for this year's show.
