The tension is set to reach new heights on BBC One tonight as the ninth episode of The Traitors series 4 airs, with betting odds revealing a clear frontrunner for a brutal murder.
Murder and Banishment Odds Tighten
According to the latest data from MyBettingSites.co.uk, faithful contestant Jessie is now the most likely target for the Traitors' deadly deception. She has been given odds of 1/1 to be murdered, making her the bookies' clear favourite.
Close behind her is Matthew, with odds of 2/1 to be eliminated by the secret traitors. When it comes to the next roundtable banishment, the tables turn. Matthew leads that particular race with 2/1 odds to be sent home by his fellow players, followed by Stephen at 5/2.
Rachel Emerges as Winner Favourite
In a significant shift in the race for the £120,000 prize, Rachel has surged to become the new favourite to win the entire series. Her odds now stand at a compelling 7/4.
A spokesperson for MyBettingSites.co.uk explained the reasoning behind the dramatic odds movements. “Jessie’s continued pressure on Stephen has made her increasingly dangerous, and removing her before she can rally support at the next roundtable looks the smartest move for the Traitors,” they said.
Strategic Gameplay Drives Betting Markets
The analysis suggests Stephen's position has weakened slightly after Jessie circled back to her suspicions of him in Episode 8. “If he manages to deflect that pressure, attention could turn to Matthew or James, both of whom have recently picked up banishment votes,” the spokesperson added.
Rachel’s rise to the top of the winner’s market is attributed to her remarkable composure in fending off accusations. With other players like Jack and Ellie flying under the radar, and both Jessie and Faraaz seen as vulnerable to murder, the path has cleared for Rachel to reclaim the number one spot.
The next episode, airing on 16 January 2026, promises to be a pivotal moment in the game as these betting favourites face their fate.
