Great British Bake off Bets Halted By Ladbrokes
Great British Bake Off bets stopped by Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes has stopped banking on BBC reveal the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers stimulated the winner’s name might have been dripped.
“A run of bets” was put for one entrant, numerous at shops in the Ipswich location, the yohaig code bookie said.
It is not understood which baker prompted the yohaig code flurry or whether any contestants have connections with the Suffolk town.
The very first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday evening.
It is the sixth series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.
Weekly the amateur bakers are anticipated to tackle a baking difficulty, with minimal directions, and provide a “signature meal”.
‘Soggy bottom’
The bookie stated a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 contestants whose odds started at 12/1 and were lowered to 6/1, 3/1 and after that evens.
“We provided rates on Monday and, nearly before the ink was dry, an unusual number of punters were in a rush to back only one candidate,” David Williams of Ladbrokes stated.
“On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the exact same one-way traffic. That sufficed to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a precaution, we suspended our betting.
“Hopefully, we’ll return up with revised odds quicker rather than later on, however we didn’t desire to get captured with our pants pulled down and a soaked bottom, so we’ve chosen to kick back till we are assured that Bake Off hasn’t gone off currently.
“When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one entrant at the expense of everybody else that can be an indication to suspend betting for a bit to evaluate the situation,” he included.
Several of the bets put were the optimum the yohaig code bookmaker would take for wagers made on the show’s result, and 90% were put on one candidate.
The suspension would not affect bets already positioned, the business said.
The first candidate to be knocked out of the competitors on Wednesday night was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.
The 11 remaining contestants are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and 2 from Perthshire.
