Britain's Got Talent Betting
After each performance, the judges assess the act and determine whether the participant(s) can advance to the next stage based on a majority vote or a judge's use of their golden buzzer.
Once this initial stage is complete, betting sites typically begin accepting bets on the acts, even those that may not make it to the live finals.
Next comes the judges' decision stage, during which the four judges narrow down the number of contestants.
Those who pass both the initial auditions and the judges' decisions or receive a golden buzzer are grouped into rounds for the semi-finals, with typically eight acts per series.
Each semi-finalist must perform a new routine of their act before the audience and judges, with the judges providing feedback at the end. Those who succeed in this stage move on to the finals.
The finals operate similarly to the semi-finals, but the focus shifts to winning votes from the public, who will vote for their favourite act either with a new routine or an enhanced version of their original audition. While the judges can still provide feedback and buzz, their opinions have little impact on the public's voting intentions.
Typically, the earlier you place a bet on the winner's market of Britain's Got Talent, the higher the odds will be. As the competition progresses towards the final stages, the odds of the acts are likely to decrease.
In all to date, singers have won the competition on five occasions, and comedians, dancers, and dog acts can claim two wins.
