In such a lousy economy, lots of people are looking for a quick fix, a fast way to make some cash.
One recommendation: Don't try to do it betting on the Oscars.
It's never easy money — did you really have Marisa Tomei winning over Vanessa Redgrave in 1993? — but it's tempting. Tomei, for instance, will get a chance to pull off another upset at tonight's Academy Awards ceremony.
But don't bet on it. Or anything else, for that matter. There are too many reasons that too many nominees might win this year to make a smart wager.
