The Block 2025 may only be halfway through, but the contestants — and potential buyers — are already thinking about auction day.
On The Block, each house is set a reserve price at the end of the renovations. In the past, the reserve has varied depending on the size of the houses. However, every house this year has identical layouts, so they should all sit around the same mark.
On auction day, contestants get to take home whatever the houses sell for over the reserve. The house that has the highest amount of over-reserved money scores an extra $100,000 in prize money and is crowned the winner of The Block. Last year’s winners, Maddy and Charlotte, pocketed a whopping $1.65 million, including their winner’s prize.
While the winner of The Block 2025 isn’t officially revealed until the live auction, Australian betting site Sportsbet has indicated which team may be walking out of the auctions triumphant.
What are the odds of who wins The Block 2025?
At the time of writing, fan favourites Robby and Mat have the best odds to win The Block 2025 with a return of $2.00, and Emma and Ben are second with $3.25.
Britt and Taz sit in the middle of the pack with a return of $4.00, and Sonny and Alicia are fourth with $7.50.
The betting website has Han and Can with the worst odds to win the show, at $10.00.
How do betting odds work?
Betting odds are tied to dollar amounts, and those with lower odds are recognised as more likely to win, hence the lower return. For example, if someone bets $1.00 on Mat and Robby winning The Block and they do, they’d receive the amount that outcome is listed at, which is $2.00.
The return is based on how much someone bets, so if they bet $10.00 on the same thing, they’d receive $20.00. If they bet $100, they’d receive $200.00 and so on.
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
