What is Betting on Survivor?

There are multiple different ways to bet on Survivor. From choosing the outright winner to choosing who is going to be eliminated next. 

Survivor Betting Markets 

Generally speaking, most survivor betting markets include betting on the winners of the show and betting on who is going to be eliminated from the show next. The most popular market for betting on Survivor is definitely betting on the final winner of the show, followed by betting week to week on who is going to be eliminated next. 

Winner

In this style of betting on Survivor, you select whom you think will win the season by the time the show concludes. At the start of the show, there are eighteen contestants, each with set odds based on who is expected to win and who is considered a weaker contestant. 

To bet on the winner of the show, you select whom you think will survive to the end (of the eighteen total contestants) before the show premieres. If you select the contestant who ends up winning by the end of the show, you win. 

This market remains open for the duration of the show and the odds will changes based on individual contestant performances and of course as contestant leave the show leaving a smaller number of players.

Next Elimination 

In this style of betting, you bet on whom you think will be eliminated from the show in any given week. 

This is quite different from betting on the winner, as odds will be constantly updated week to week to reflect the predictions on who will be the next contestant to face elimination. If you guess the contestant that was eliminated correctly, you win. 

How to Bet on Survivor

To bet on Survivor, you’ll have to find a legitimate betting website that hosts betting for the TV show. Once you’ve found one that offers betting on Survivor, you’ll have to create an account with the website. 

After creating an account, there are still more steps to take before you can actually bet. You’ll have to fund your account using a payment method (typically a credit card, e-wallet, or crypto currency). Once you’ve done that, you can deposit the amount of money you’d like to bet with (and be sure to use a promo code to get your deposit bonus!)

Now that you’ve funded your account, it’s time to finally place your bets! Select the option you’d like to bet on (winner, or next elimination) and enter the amount of money you’d like to risk on the bet. Once you’ve submitted your bet, you’ll get a receipt and you are in the game.

Season 43 Contenders

Each season of Survivor has a new set of contenders (although some seasons have hosted return contenders) that you can bet on. Some of the top contestants for the 43^rd season of Survivor are as follows:

A 30-year-old hailing from Venice, California, Jesse is a doctor of Political Science. While Jesse doesn’t come from a background you’d traditionally expect from someone who would be successful on Survivor, he claims his cunning wit and devotion to analyzing voting behavior will give him a strategic edge in the 43^rd season. His confidence in this strategy has proven to be successful, as he’s managed to survive four episodes so far. 

Ryan Medrano

Born in Savannah, Georgia, Ryan Medrano is a warehouse associate with a strong appetite for competition. Beaming with natural charisma, Medrano is someone who has a natural inclination for the outdoors, and enjoys fishing and hiking in his spare time. Medrano believes he is a strong candidate to be the sole survivor due to his combination of charisma, physical strength, and puzzle-solving abilities. He biggest pet peeves are laziness and self-entitlement, so he may prove to have the right things needed to bring home the victory. 

Owen Knight

A 29-year-old currently working as a college admissions director, Owen doesn’t seem like he’d make for a great survivor contestant from the get-go. However, Knight is someone who loves to hike and go backpacking, so he is definitely comfortable in nature. Additionally, for someone his age, being a director of college admissions is extremely rare, showcasing Owen’s determination and hard work ethic. Additionally, Owen is a self-described Survivor super fan who has seen every season of the show. 

Elisabeth ‘Elie’ Scott

A 31-year-old clinical psychologist hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Elie Scott brings a passion for rock climbing and skiing to the table as a contestant of the 43^rd season of Survivor. Using her background in psychology, Elie believes that she will be able to game the season via her unique blend of social skills and cutthroat strategy. She couples this sense of social acumen with a competitive appetite, tenacious nature, and athletic disposition. 

James Jones

James is a 37-year-old event planner from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While other contestants list some of their favorite hobbies as hiking and skiing, Jones instead prefers to spend his time reading, writing, and enjoying the best cocktails in the city. While Jones may not seem like the best contestant, he believes that his ability to remain calm during chaotic situations (such as those he faces every day during his job) will give him the edge during Survivor. 

Noelle Lambert

This 25-year-old from New Hampshire is certainly not one to be underestimated. A Paralympian, Lambert lost her left leg in 2016 following a moped accident. However, her determination and resolve allowed her to push through this setback and compete in the 43^rd season of Survivor. Before losing her leg, Lambert was an accomplished lacrosse player at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, where she was able to showcase her strong athletic skills. No matter how you slice it, Lambert seems like a strong Survivor contestant. 

Season 43 of Survivor is underway, and the results can be followed here, as the survivors are whittled down and you consider your wagers for who will be the outright winner of the show.

Things to Consider When Betting on Survivor

Because this is the 43^rd season of Survivor, there is plenty of data from the prior seasons that you can use to create a betting strategy for the current season. 

The average age of the winners of survivor is around 31 years old, which is younger than the average age of the contestants, which is approximately 33 years old. 

Over the past 42 seasons of survivor, men have come out on top as winners 25 times, while women have won 17 times. Use this information to your advantage when betting on the show. 

If you want to stand a better chance at winning your bets on Survivor, try looking for contestants with proven survival skills, or an inclination for outdoor activities. Additionally, we recommend searching for someone with a pleasant disposition, and someone who doesn’t resort to trash-talking other contestants. Contestants that are loud-mouthed usually have a high chance of eventually getting voted off the island, no matter how physically imposing or skilled in survival they may be.
