Well, the odds have been shaken up a little bit this week. We're getting into the really exciting bits of the summer, and things are getting tasty, baby. Let's take a look at the past few days and what has gone on.
The Love Island villa is getting quite full at the moment; however, eliminations are expected soon. After this week's dumping, there are only eight couples in the villa.
Below, you can compare the latest odds for the 2025 edition of Love Island, divided into the top male and top female markets. For what it's worth, the couple market has been reopened, but we're going to miss them for now as they have not been updated in a while.

For those of you who were around for our I'm A Celebrity or Love Island All Stars odd watches and tips, welcome back to Media Watch! If you weren't with us for that, do not worry. This area does what it says on the tin; we take a look at some of the big stories of the past few days in one place to potentially help with any selections.
We start with the dumping that took place this week. As Heart recalls, two original members of the Villa were sent home in Ben and Tommy, whilst their Casa Amor partners, Andrada and Lucy, were also sent on their way.
The Mirror writes how their fellow islanders were 'left flabbergasted' by the decision, and they were not the only ones with fans shocked on social media.
Of course, Tommy was the leading favourite, so him being sent home was certainly a bit of a shock to things.
Then, we also had a shocking recoupling, where Toni and Harrison partnered up after a late terrace chat. It has sent social media and everyone into a bit of shock with the villa 'descending into chaos', as Cosmopolitan writes.
Elsewhere, the Daily Mail have written about how Women's Aid have spoken about Harrison's behaviour, due to what has been shown on TV.
Put it this way, things were difficult to call before Casa Amor, with none of the islanders really secure in their couples. This week, things have maybe got a little easier, but even then, there are questions to be asked.
The couples markets have reopened, so we'll start there. As of right now, Shakira and Conor are the favourites to win the show this year, at 9/4 with William Hill. Whilst Yasmin and Jamie follow shortly after at 11/4.
Past those two, the market becomes quite wide, quite quick. Helena and Harry, plus Meg and Dejon, are both priced at 9/2.
For value, we can still look at the 'Top Male' and 'Top Female' markets to give us an odds boost - for example, Conor and Shakira are 12/1 with some bookmakers in a double, rather than using the couple markets.
Personally, I am very happy seeing these odd updates, considering I backed Conor and Shakira to win the show at 50/1 a few days ago, in my previous odds watch.
