This year’s couples have now been announced and as you would expect, the bookies are alraedy taking bets on the series winner… It’s pretty interesting to see who they think will win, as over the weeks, I’d expect this to be a pretty good guide to popularity.
So, who do the bookies think is favourite?
Judging by OddsChecker, which compares the odds across multiple bookies, Tom Chambers & Camilla Dallerup have raced into an early lead, and are favourites across all 4 bookies. It probably has something to do with a YouTube video that has surfaced, showing Tom dancing like a pro! It looks like the girls might have their work cut out this time around, and I suspect Camilla already has at least one eye on the Strictly trophy (Tom’s engaged, so she’ll have to keep her eyes off him)…
The bookies are also in agreement on the least likely winner – John Sergeant. His odds are so far out that if they’re right, he must be a shoe-in for a very early departure!
They might agree on those two, but there’s some disagreement over who’s the 2nd favourite for the show:
- Victor Chandler make Jessie Wallace & Darren Bennett second-favourites (not a bad bet given that Jessie has musical theatre experience and Darren is a previous winner)
- Stan James and BetDirect think Jodie Kidd & Ian Waite are a better prospect (maybe they got confused and were basing this on best-looking couple?)
- SkyBet think Rachel Stevens & Vincent Simone are the 2nd favourites (given that she used to dance in S Club 7, and is likely to be popular with male viewers, probably not a bad bet)
It will be interesting to see how the odds chance in the coming weeks… I’ll keep you posted.
