Bachelor Betting Odds: Will Matt James Find Love?

For fans of The Bachelor, this is a season in which many people are happy to have Matt James as the contestant, breaking ground as the first-ever Bachelor of color. He was initially cast to be a contestant in Clare Crawley’s season, but after producers and executives reviewed James, they said:

 “When filming (Crawley’s season) couldn’t move forward as planned (because of the coronavirus pandemic), we were given the benefit of time to get to know Matt and all agreed he would make a perfect Bachelor.”

Will Matt James Find Love on Season 25?

At -600, betting odds for The Bachelor favor heartbreak on the way for Matt James, or the final contestant, or both of them. The odds imply that this season's Bachelor will not get married to the woman he gives his final rose to on the finale. James, a 28-year-old real estate broker and charity founder from North Carolina, is a devout Christian who had never previously appeared on the series. That’s a first for the show since Matt Grant in season 12.

James started with 32 women, and after three episodes he’s down to just 18. As always with the Bachelor Nation's favorite show, there are spoilers leaked online, so you can choose to take it with a grain of salt or stay away from them. For the record, the rumors speculate that he will choose Rachael Kirkconnell at the end, and that the two are currently engaged. So if you believe it, then you might lean toward the Yes bet at +350 odds.

Will Matt Marry The First Runner-Up?

There is always speculation on who the Bachelor will marry once it gets down to the final two people. In betting odds for The Bachelor, the sportsbooks have listed James's odds of not marrying the runner-up as the favorite at -500. James can look at the most recent Bachelorettes as an example of the show working. Both Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams are currently with their final rose picks, and the drama of a runner-up is non-existent.

If the rumors are true that James ends up with Rachael Kirkconnell and that they are engaged, then you should place your bet on the heavy favorite No. As it is with this show, you’ve got to follow along to see what happens.
