Frequently asked questions about TV show betting :
What kind of TV Specials can you bet on?
The bookmakers treat certain TV programs the same as any sporting event and they'll price up TV show odds for different markets within the show, such as outright winner, top boy/girl and in the instance of shows that involve eliminations, next to be eliminated! The TV Specials we specifically cover are as follows:
- I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here
- I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here takes place in the Australian outback every year and is exceptionally popular with viewers and punters alike. As well as betting on the winner there's plenty of other markets available, such as next to be evicted, top male and top female and is usually screened in November.
- Strictly Come Dancing
- Strictly Come Dancing sees celebrities dance there socks off every Saturday night and again is an increasingly popular betting event. As well as next to leave markets you can bet on the sex of the winner.
- Eurovision
- The Eurovision song contest is still hugely popular viewing event and also betting, with the bookies seeing plenty of action across the semi finals and final every May.
- Love Island
- One of the more recent additions to the TV schedule, Love Island is a dating show which takes place in a Villa where the contestants look to 'couple up'. The program is surprisingly popular as a betting event.
BettingOdds.com will also feature TV Specials odds on other programs such as Sports Personality, the X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
What kind of stake can you get on TV Specials betting?
Depending on the show, the bookmakers are far less likely to restrict your betting on TV specials, especially if the show is live. In the early days the bookies were pretty wary of taking big stakes when betting on these markets and still only allow relatively small stakes on pre-recorded shows if offering prices.
Which are the best bookies to bet with for TV specials?
Paddy Power and by proxy Betfair were the first bookmaker to openly embrace TV specials betting and they continue to trail a blaze in the number of events and markets they cover.
