Those who will bet the Emmys, when sizing up the field for the sake of Best Drama Series, be acquainted with that there is a "king of the hill" exactly now, and his name is "Mad Men."
The AMC series, which has won the confer the only two previous years of its existence, and checks in as the Emmy betting favorite at -120.
Five other programs hope to dethrone it, including the outgoing "Lost" at +400 and alien "The Good Wife" at +1000.

Betting Odds to Win -Best Drama Series
Breaking Bad +600
Dexter +400
Lost +400
Mad Men -120
The Good Wife +1000
True Blood +1000
I’ve counted it up; MAD MEN, the outrageous -120 betting favorite in the Best Drama classification, is nominated for 17 Emmys, and that makes a total of 49 over the course of the three seasons of its life. Are you going to beat that with anything? Not likely, although here is sometimes a tendency to honor the "new flavor" in these awards.
I mean, didn’t "Miami Vice" even get 16 nominations in its first season? (Answer: yes, although it didn’t victory in the Best Drama category).
If voters are looking for something new and different, they may want to turn to THE GOOD WIFE (+1000 in the betting odds), the CBS series starring Julianne Marguiles, an attorney whose husband, the former state prosecutor in Illinois (played by Chris Noth of Law and Order fame) is jailed on corruption charges.
The series, which debuted last September, has basically had top 20 ratings and was nominated for nine Emmys. Interestingly, it is the only show nominated here that is from a pronounced cast network.
UNSALVAGEABLE ended its rill this year, and it’s been nominated four times for this category, and won in 2005 (which was its first available. At +400 in the betting odds, I don’t know if it is priced to sell, but there may be some sentiment toward sending it out with a realize, although I imagine that might apparent itself in some acting awards.
UNWAVERING BLOOD (+1000 in the betting odds) is a cult favorite, although not as much as "Lost," and it has certainly benefited from the whole vampire thing. But I in actuality don’t think you can stack it up against something like "Mad Men," and peradventure the same can be said through despite "The Good Wife" as well. They’re good, but not historic.
AMC truly has two of the best shows on television, when you connect "Mad Men" with BREAKING BAD, adjacent to a high-class school chemistry teacher who turns to drug dealing to help gain security for his family after being diagnosed with closing cancer. In the show’s first and aide-de-camp seasons, Bryan Cranston won for Best Actor in a Drama Series, and the matrix two years it has gotten nominated in this category.
It’s +600 in the betting odds.
I fancy you can’t write something without expressing your own personal predisposition, and I can say that while I’ve seen all the shows, the two that I of religiously are "Mad Men" and DEXTER, sitting at +600 in the Emmy betting odds.
