Ladbrokes has stopped banking on BBC reveal the Great British Bake Off after a flurry of wagers triggered worries the winner's name may have been leaked.

"A run of bets" was put for one participant, numerous at shops in the yohaig code Ipswich area, the yohaig code bookmaker stated.

It is not understood which baker prompted the flurry or whether any participants have connections with the yohaig code Suffolk town.

'Soggy bottom'

The bookie said a flurry of bets came in for one of the 12 contestants whose odds started at 12/1 and were minimized to 6/1, 3/1 and then evens.

"We provided rates on Monday and, almost before the ink was dry, an unusual number of punters remained in a rush to back just one contestant," David Williams of Ladbrokes stated.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday it was more of the exact same one-way traffic. That was enough to set our alarm bells ringing and, as a precaution, we suspended our wagering.

"Hopefully, we'll go back up with revised chances sooner rather than later on, but we didn't wish to get captured with our trousers took down and a soaked bottom, so we have actually decided to kick back till we are reassured that Bake Off hasn't gone off already.

"When you see a run of bets like this promotion code for one contestant at the expenditure of everyone else that can be an indication to suspend wagering for a bit to evaluate the situation," he included.

Several of the bets positioned were the optimum the bookie would take for wagers made on the program's result, and 90% were put on one candidate.

The suspension would not impact bets currently positioned, the company stated.
