Celebrity MasterChef Australia 2021 might have only kicked off on Sunday night. But betting agencies are already ahead of the game with one surprising star predicted to win the cooking competition!

Comedian Dilruk Jayasinha positioned himself as an early favourite by winning an immunity pin during the premiere episode. However, bookies think former AFL captain Nick Riewoldt will take out the win!

At the time of writing, Sportsbet has the former St Kilda star in the number one spot with his odds coming in at $1.22.

Slated to join Nick in the final three are Tilly Ramsay at $6.00, while Melbourne Victory legend Archie Thompson sits at $8.50.

TBH we find this surprising! We anticipated that Tilly would wipe the kitchen floor with her competitors considering she’s the daughter of famous chef Gordon Ramsay!

Sportsbet also predicts Dami Im to be the first on the chopping block, with her odds sitting at $21.00. Yikes!

The Betting Oracles Are Rarely Ever Wrong!

People might rubbish these odds as a theory, but the betting agency has an impeccable track record in picking reality TV show winners.

Sportsbet has correctly pegged countless final picks on The Bachelor (most recently, Holly Kingston) and every single winner of The Masked Singer Australia thus far!

In early October, Vampire AKA pop music legend Anastacia was unmasked as this year’s winner, as predicted by the betting oracles early in the series.
