Britain's Got Talent Odds: Ravi's Dream Team Early Favourites

Last Updated: 
Britain's Got Talent returned for a 17th series last weekend, and there were three Golden Buzzer acts across the first two episodes.
The golden trio now lead the way on betting sites at the top of the market, after impressing the judging panel of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, and Alesha Dixon, as well as co-hosts Ant and Dec.
Alesha Backs Ravi's Dream Team
Ravi's Dream Team are the early frontrunners to win this year's BGT after a goosebumps-inducing performance.
Led by eight-year-old Ravi - who was diagnosed with a brain tumour two years ago - the choir, who are made up of his friends, family and members of the medical profession who have helped him, are the 2/1 favourites on Britain's Got Talent betting sites to win series 17.
Following Ravi's Dream Team performance of the song A Million Dreams, from film The Greatest Showman, an emotional Alesha pressed her Golden Buzzer to send the choir straight through to the semi-finals.
Alesha couldn't hold back her tears while chatting to the group, and she described early BGT favourite Ravi as a "remarkable young man".
Sydnie And Ssaulabi 'Smash' Auditions
Sydnie Christmas isn't too far behind Ravi's Dream Team in the market after her incredible version of Tomorrow, from the musical Annie.
The singer, who has ambitions to become a West End star, is 11/4, to triumph on specials betting sites after her performance.
Judge Amanda admitted it was the "best version" of the song she had ever heard in her life, before slamming her hand down on the Golden Buzzer to send confetti raining down and Sydney into the semis.
Simon said he used to "hate" the tune before he heard Sydnie's rendition, while Alesha admitted she had "smashed" her audition.
Another act who, quite literally, smashed it were The Ssaulabi Performance Troupe.
The South Korean martial arts group performed a taekwondo routine while breaking wooden boards in a BGT-first.
Co-hosts Ant and Dec were stunned by the performance and afterwards they raced down to the front of the stage to push the Golden Buzzer.
Thanks to their guaranteed semi-final spot, The Ssaulabi Performance Troupe are now 7/1 third favourites to win this year's BGT.

'Special' Innocent Wows Crowd
While the three Golden Buzzer stars are the only acts in single-figure prices on betting apps for now, opera singer Innocent Masuku isn't far behind at 10/1.
The opera singer provided a Susan Boyle-esque moment when he belted out a rendition of Caruso by Lucio Dalla, much to the shock of the audience and judges.
Bruno branded him "special", but Amanda went one better by telling Innocent he is "by far the best opera singer" they have had in the show's 17 series.
Despite this, nobody pressed their Golden Buzzer for the star, but he is undoubtedly one of the stronger contenders of the series so far.
Others in early contention to win series 17 include dog act The Trickstars (12/1), magician Jack Rhodes (14/1), and impressionist Mike Woodhams (16/1).
One of the more unusual acts also saw foursome Rask AI perform a song from The Greatest Showman with cameras in front of their faces.
It soon became clear that the cameras were there so the judges' faces could be put onto the four Rask stars' visages via AI, to make it look like Simon, Alesha, Bruno and Amanda were belting out the tune. They received four yeses, but don't feature in the BGT market.
Despite progressing from this stage, the judges are yet to decide who will reach the semis, aside from the three Golden Buzzer acts who are assured of semi-final spots.
