at Taite's odds. Clear favorite. I suspect Todd's odd will change a bit after his SD this week and screentime

I was just coming here to talk about this! How crazy is this? Not even Winx, Australia's best horse, and well, The World greatest horse at the moment had this odd last weekend during the Cox Plate race There surely must be something else that Sportsbet has, perhaps even photos of Ali and Taite...this odds are so low that they will have counted bets, especially considering the low max. bet. I don't think Sportsbet will be making much money with The Bachelorette this season..new punters tnd to bet for the favourite if it is worthy and IMO not many experienced punters would place 100 dollars bet for Taite to get such a small return. It is just preposterous, really.

I believe the appropriate word here is "unbackable".

What's going on?

Can't see the betting for Bachelorette on Sportbet!!! On have betting for the premier of The Bachelor 2019.

Maybe all bets are off now since Charlie didn't play by the rules

@Popcorn For All the low odds aren't unusual for bach/bette considering Sportsbet even claim they know the results ahead of time. So it's different from future betting like horses etc.

Past seasons favorites, Lee, Laura, etc all had very low odds like Taite has. So it's more the norm than not and how it shows SB is in the "know".

DM still going on about Todd being the possible/rumored winner despite his odds not showing it (in cahoots with the betting sites methinks for people to bet).

@Sundy do you know what the max bets are for Todd and Taite. TYIA

Could he win The Bachelorette? Todd King emerges as a bookies' favourite to win Ali Oetjen's heart after their romantic single date


Sportsbet


Ladbrokes

After Wednesday's episode, it is clear the major bookmakers believe Todd and Taite will be the last men standing.

$150 for each. There is something a little weird about this

On what planet do they think Todd's the "bookies favourite" with those odds and an identical max bet?  

Taite is CLEARLY still the bookies' favourite, as he has been from the start.  Check your math, Josh.

And the article even includes a quote from Sportsbet - as if they're going to offer an objective opinion?!  

A spokesperson for Sportsbet told Daily Mail Australia: 'Todd and Ali were giving us real Barbie and Ken vibes last night.

'They look like a match made in heaven so Todd's odds to be the last man standing have come rushing in from $8.00 into $5.00.'

The fact that DM/TPTB/Sbet are all in bed together could NOT be more obvious IMO.  Punters need to wise up.

TY! What you thinking @Sundy?

IMO 98% of Punters betting on the show aren't falling for it, Bobette, because it is too obvious. I know some who did fall for it and placed money on Rob, but we are talking about people who even though have money placed only  5 dollars bets and IMO some just do it for the thrill, not to make money out of it.

One thing though...I do not believe they are all in bed together, because I met someone, a researcher  who is working for the government and was meeting Channel TEN  not long ago, because Channel TEN were concerned about Sportsbet and other betting agencies knowing the outcome of the show, Channel TEN wants to stop this and they were even willing to sue Sportsbet.

Yes I recall the legal issues - we discussed it on the forum at the time (many of us were hoping entertainment betting would be outlawed to avoid the spoiler).  

But I still think they're in bed.  I'm not suggesting it's Ch 10 executives slipping info to Sbet but someone somewhere on production payroll has loose lips, IMO.

Oh, yes, Bobette! I can believe that; sometimes someone who is just doing the admin job is able to see that type of information and sell it. What about people who book hotels, flights, holidays, etc? The paparazzi too, there are many possibilities there. I wonder how they don't get caught? Isn't there in the US a guy who ruins it for all the US each season? There must be insiders leaking information...until they are fired or move jobs!

Reality Steve! He's been sued by ABC more than once but it's always settled. He's pretty savvy and knows what he can and can't get away with.

There's no way Channel Ten or the production company are feeding Sportsbet info but I absolutely think they have a source in production, who is violating their contract/NDA etc
