Abbi tops the charts in the odds to win Star Baker this week
Bookmakers continue to offer odds for this series of the Great British Bake Off with Week Three seeing Paul Hollywood's speciality in Bread getting baked by the contestants.
UK Betting Sites have offered odds on Bake Off in recent weeks with two different markets offered focusing on who the star baker will be and who will be eliminated next.
Star Baker is a tough one with a number of bakers impressing in the first two weeks and it was Tasha who was given Star Baker in Week Two for her brilliant biscuits.
Abbi won the technical challenge last week due to her brilliant custard creams and she is 3/1 to go one step further by grabbing Star Baker.

What the expert says..
Shock departure in Week Two saw Keith leave
Keith was one of the favourites to win Star Baker in Week Two after impressing in the first week but it all crumbled during the biscuit challenge last week.
Paul Hollywood said his technical challenge tasted like rubber and put him last in 11th place for his custard creams and it didn't get much better in the final challenge.
This week though sees Dana and Nicky once again favourites to be eliminated with a 28% chance of either of the pair going next.
| Bake Off 2023 Next Elimination | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Dana | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Nicky | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Matty | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Saku | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Josh | 7/1 | 12.1% |
