Things to Consider When Betting on Dancing on Ice

There are a few things to consider when making bets on Dancing on Ice, not least contestant popularity and skill on the ice - Let's dive it and give you some ideas. It is also worth noting previous winners of the show, and all that information can be found further down the page.

🔍 Consider the odds being offered

The bookmakers are no fools and they make a business out of making predictions, turning them into probability, betting odds and making money out of it. The odds are usually a good guide, although I do remember Bill bailey landing huge odds on one of these shows a few years ago. Generally, if the bookmakers think a celebrity has no chance, they've little hope in lasting the distance

💖 Understand the popularity of each celebrity

Whilst we have celebrity judges who will put couples into the dance-offs and ultimately part-decide the fate, celebrity popularity is paramount - We have discovered with virtually all, public voting reality contests, celebrities with the most active social media followers, particularly on Instagram and twitter, will have a greater number of fans voting for them on the apps and phones, often saving them in finals when they should rightly be gone based on ability and performance.

📝 Note the judges' comments and scores

The judges do hold sway and the producers of Dancing on Ice have to maintain a good entertainment show. For this reason, there will be some bias towards keeping the show balanced from the celebrities still involved and the entertainment value that can be gained each week. 

What Bets Can You Make on Dancing On Ice?

As well as betting on the outright winner and the weekly elimination the DOI online bookmakers will also offer:

• Top Man
• Top Woman
• Gender Of Winner

These markets will follow outright betting but different bookmakers will offer varying odds. 

You may find some betting value in these secondary markets.

Dancing On Ice Voting Format

Each week the couples skate to a live routine. 

The judges then score the routine. 

The public and judges' scores are combined to create a leaderboard.

Those couples at the bottom of that week's Dancing On Ice leaderboard then have a "Skate Off".

The couples in the "Skate-Off" are then finally judged by the panel.

One couple each week is then voted off the show based solely on the "Skate Off". 

In the previous Dancing On Ice series a Golden Ticket allowed a couple to be saved from the public vote, however, this will only feature in the first two weeks.
