The Block 2023 has some clear fan favourites – as well as some obvious front runners. And, one of those teams has very high betting odds of being crowned the winner.
Steph and Gian have wiped the floor clean with staggering betting odds of $2.00 on Sportsbet to take out the win, at the time of writing.
While the childhood sweethearts are firm fan favs, the pair who have the second highest odds to win could be considered the biggest villains The Block has ever seen.
Yup, you guessed it. Kristy and Brett trail (fairly) closely behind with a return of $3.50. However, they’re neck and neck with reno-newbies Eliza and Liberty who have the same return.
The Block superfans Kyle and Lesley are fourth with $9.00 and Leah and Ash are considered least likely to win with a return of $10.00.
At the time of writing, betting on The Block has been suspended ahead of the auction which takes place on Sunday, November 5th.
What do betting odds mean?
Betting odds are based on dollar value. If someone bets $1, they’d receive back the amount the team was listed at. For example, if someone bets $1 on Steph and Gian, they’d receive a $2.00 return if he won. This corresponds with the amount deposited, so $10 would turn into $20, $100 would turn into $200, and so on.
Are betting odds always right?
Not necessarily, however, they do give a good indication of who may win. Plus, in many past reality TV shows, they’ve correctly picked the winner.
For example, Brent Draper had the best betting odds to win MasterChef 2023, and he took out the title. Plus, betting odds suggested that Liz Parnov would win Survivor: Heros vs Villains, and she was, in fact, crowned the winner.
