The X Factor is one of the biggest televised talent shows in the UK and has produced 15 series with the last being in 2018.
The show’s format has changed slightly over the years but generally consists of an audition period in the early episodes followed by the knockouts with live arena performances.
The X Factor has been responsible for finding many well-known stars such as Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon, Joe McElderry, James Arthur, Pleur East and the hit boy band, One Direction.
With many viewers following the show throughout the entire series, betting on the X Factor has become extremely popular and now, several bookmakers offer X Factor odds for the winner, who will be eliminated and for several other markets.
This guide will show you how to bet on the X Factor, the best betting sites for doing so and what you can expect from the sixteenth series which is set to hit our screens in 2022.

The shows creator, Simon Cowell, announced that the X Factor will return in 2022 but we may see some changes to what viewers are used to.
No further details of the show’s return have been released yet along with an official start date.

Below, we’ve listed some of the betting markets that you can expect to find at the bookmakers listed below which provide odds for the X Factor.
For the contestants, the aim is to win the show. Viewers generally have their favourite acts and now, they’re able to bet on them winning the competition.
It’s also a good idea to look at the online polls as these can give a good indication of which acts the general public are more in favour of.
After the audition stages, each contestant that makes it through, gets assigned a judge as their coach.
Instead of betting on the winning act, you can bet on which judge will have the winning act which is a good idea if they have multiple strong contestants assigned to them.
As will all shows that evolve contestants getting the boot, such as The Voice, Love Island, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, Britain’s Got Talent, American Idol and Strictly Come Dancing, you can bet on which act will be next to leave the show.
Again, looking at the online polls to see who is less popular along with using your own knowledge of the show can give you a good indication of who is likely to leave.
Odds on The X Factor contestants will be available on the bookmakers websites once the show has started.
You can usually place your bets as soon as the auditions get underway but the most popular time to bet is during the knockout stages when the public have seen multiple performances from the contestants.
This betting guide has shown you how to bet on The X Factor and provided some recommendations of which betting sites to place your bets with.
All of the bookmakers listed on this page are reputable, accept UK customers and offer betting options on the show.
Betfred is a great choice for betting on The X Factor and is our number 1 recommendation. They generally have great odds and some generous betting offers throughout the series which are worth taking advantage of.
