The Apprentice Betting

Bookmakers create betting markets as each series begins, focusing on the eventual winner who must impress Lord Sugar with their business idea. The betting is usually limited to win-only markets, allowing viewers to stake on their favorite contestant.

Apart from betting on the winner, there's also the option to bet on which contestant will be fired each week. Viewers can wager on the 'Top Man' or 'Top Woman' in the show, not necessarily the overall winner. The show's format, involving team tasks and conflicts, makes for engaging betting opportunities.

Bookmakers offer welcome bonuses and limited betting markets during the show's airing. Since The Apprentice is pre-recorded, stakes are kept small to avoid large payouts on likely outcomes. Bookies are cautious of leaks about the winner, affecting their betting markets.
