Hawes and McCallum early favs for The Voice Australia

Realty television is a global phenomenon, but did you know that you can bet on reality TV? Some shows are pre-recorded, so those shows generally won’t be opened for betting due to the chance of potential spoilers. However reality TV shows that are broadcast live are often available to bet on.

One of the most popular reality TV shows in Australia is The Voice. The singing show that welcomes all comers to take to the stage and be judged purely on voice alone.

With Season 4 of The Voice Australia entering the second week of its “blind auditions” a few front runners are starting to emerge with Australian online bookmaker CrownBet setting some early markets for the 2015 series.

17-year old Nathan Hawes and Tim McCallum are the two outright favourites with CrownBet offering odds of $5.00 for each. The next best chance is Stewart Winchester at $11 who looks to offer some value in what is ultimately a popularity contest.

“Despite only being a young bloke, last night Nathan Hawes looked a true champion and the voice of Tim McCallum is simple breathtaking,” CrownBet’s Rob Cumbrae-Stewart said.

“Both will be tough to beat, but as only half the field has secured a spot there is still a very good possibility that the next Karise Eden is still to come.”
