The Great British Bake Off 2018 began on Tuesday, August 28 with 12 contestants. The early betting favourites were 30-year-old research scientist Rahul Mandal, 29-year-old project manager Ruby Bhogal, and French 26-year-old Manon Lagreve, the youngest baker in the Bake Off tent.

Through Cake Week, Bread, Desserts, Spice, Pastry, and the first-ever GBBO Vegan Week, that trio excelled, all winning Star Baker prizes, Rahul twice! But then Manon was booted out, and it was Belgium-born Kim-Joy and 33-year-old Briony Williams who really upped their games to make it to the Semi-Finals.

French Patisserie was the Bake Off Semi-Final theme, Pastry Week Star Baker Briony exiting and Ruby going through with fellow dual Star Baker winners Rahul and Kim-Joy. On October 30, Rahul was crowned winner of the Great British Bake Off 2018.

What is the Great British Bake Off?

The Great British Bake Off is a baking competition, where Britain’s top amateur bakers compete to be crowned Britain’s Star Baker. Their baking skills and techniques are put to the test each week, where they must bake a certain type of cake or pastry, or use a particular baking technique.

A panel of judges taste and critique the bakers efforts, then decide who will be eliminated each week. In every episode, contestants are faced with three challenges; a signature bake, technical challenge, and showstopper challenge. After baking, one contestant is named ‘Star Baker of the Week’ and another is eliminated. The fight to make it through each elimination is no piece of cake!

The interest in this baking competition is said to have reinvigorated interest in baking in Britain, leaving viewers drooling over the scores of delicious bakes each week. Naturally, Great British Bake Off betting has become the icing on the cake for this competition, similar to the growth in betting on other popular television series, like X Factor betting.

Great British Bake Off Betting Tips

Before the series starts, the Great British Bake Off odds are revealed, and so are the biographies and names of the 12 starting bakers. This is your chance to try to work out who could be the GBBO winner.

• Age - The youngest Bake Off winner was John Waite in the third series, and the first winner Add Kimber, 24, is the only other Star Baker to have won in their 20s. Grandmother Nancy Birtwhistle won aged 60, and aside from her, the average age for victors is 31
• Gender - Exactly 50% of contestants have been male, but six out of nine winners have been female. Often a man starts a short price in the Bake Off betting, so advice would be to steer clear of that selection as they probably aren't good value.

• Home Town - No strong trends stem from where winners live, but three of the nine victors have been from Yorkshire, one came from Wigan, two lived in the Midlands, one was from Bedfordshire, and two lived on the outskirts of London in Surrey and Essex. This suggests siding with a baker from the North of England is the best betting tip, and take caution considering those living south of Bedfordshire.
• Occupation - Five of the nine winners did not work full-time when competing on Bake Off, and another was a PE Teacher, so would not have been working during filming. Of the other three winners, one worked in a bank, but the other two had seemingly flexible jobs as a research scientist and clothes designer. When considering the Great British Bake Off odds, look for a baker with free time.

Great British Bake Off betting will bring lots of excitement to many punters for the 10th series in 2019, so make sure to get bets in early in the competition to get the best odds. If it's not your slice of cake, you can find other television series betting guides in our specials betting section.
