Great British Bake Off bets by Ladbrokes

Ladbrokes has actually halted wagering on BBC show the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers sparked fears the winner's name might have been dripped.

"A run of bets" was positioned for one candidate, lots of at shops in the Ipswich area, the bookie stated.

It is not known which baker prompted the flurry or whether any participants 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 6th series of the program, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Each week the amateur bakers are anticipated to take on a baking difficulty, with minimal instructions, and present a "signature dish".

'Soggy bottom'

The bookie said a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 candidates whose chances started at 12/1 and were reduced to 6/1, 3/1 and after that evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, practically before the ink was dry, an uncommon number of punters were in a rush to back just 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 calling and, as a preventative measure, we suspended our betting.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with revised odds quicker instead of later, but we didn't wish to get caught with our trousers took down and a soggy bottom, so we have actually decided to relax till we are reassured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one contestant at the expense of everybody else that can be an indication to suspend wagering for a bit to evaluate the circumstance," he added.

Several of the bets put were the maximum the bookmaker would consider wagers made on the program's result, and 90% were put on one participant.

The suspension would not impact bets currently placed, the company stated.

The very first contestant to be knocked out of the competitors on Wednesday evening was Stuart Henshall from Surrey.

The 11 remaining contestants are from Berkshire, Lancashire, Cambridgeshire, London, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Essex, Swansea and two from Perthshire.
