Great British Bake Off bets halted by Ladbrokes

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

"A run of bets" was put for one contestant, many at shops in the Ipswich location, the bookmaker stated.

It is not known which baker triggered the flurry or whether any candidates have connections with the Suffolk town.

The first episode of the popular amateur baking contest aired on BBC One Wednesday night.

It is the 6th series of the show, which challenges 12 hopefuls to impress judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood.

Weekly the amateur bakers are anticipated to take on a baking challenge, with minimal instructions, and provide a "signature meal".

'Soggy bottom'

the yohaig code bookie stated a flurry of bets came in for among the 12 participants whose odds started at 12/1 and were decreased to 6/1, 3/1 and then evens.

"We provided costs on Monday and, almost before the ink was dry, an uncommon variety of punters were in a rush to back only one contestant," David Williams of Ladbrokes said.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the very same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells sounding and, as a safety measure, we suspended our wagering.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with modified chances quicker instead of later, however we didn't desire to get captured with our trousers took down and a soaked bottom, so we have actually chosen to take a breather 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 participant at the expenditure of everybody else that can be a sign to suspend wagering for a bit to assess the scenario," he included.

Several of the bets put were the maximum the bookie would consider wagers made on the program's outcome, and 90% were placed on one contestant.
