If you had bet as soon as the nominations were out, here would've been your results from the betting guide with just a measly $10 a bet:

Outstanding Drama Series: 24 (7/2): Really, you didn't have to spend a whole lot of money for a pretty much sure thing.
Outstanding Comedy Series: The Office (1/1): They had even odds from the start, so you were almost guaranteed your money back.
Outstanding Reality-Competition Series: The Amazing Race (1/1): As much as I wanted Project Runway to win, this was a given.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series: Tony Shalhoub, Monk (3/1): Let's face it: everyone loves Tony Shaloub. I would've voted for him, too.
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series: Kiefer Sutherland, 24 (2/3): You could've made a tad on this. But you should've jumped on this early.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, The New Adventures of Old Christine (18/1): Now, seriously. This would have made you some real money early on. $180? Yikes.
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (13/7): This would've gotten a little bit as well. It wasn't the sure thing, though, which made it worth it.
