You can’t bet on them, but Las Vegas sets Oscar odds

Don’t go cashing in your 401(k) just because you really like Matthew McConaughey and you want to put your money where your mouth is.

These Oscar odds, offered by Johnny Avello, director of race and sports operations at Wynn Las Vegas, are for entertainment purposes only.

The way he sees it, expect tight races in the director, actor and supporting actress categories.

The 86th Academy Awards will be handed out March 2.
