Odds Align with Rumors that Blake Shelton Won’t be Around as Coach for Long
Blake Shelton’s odds of leaving The Voice are 2/3 (60% implied probability), according to betting aggregators US-Bookies (See Disclaimer Below). His odds to not leave are 11/8 (42.1%), suggesting it’s more likely that he’ll be the next host to leave the show.
“Fans have been speculating about Blake Shelton’s time on the show, especially after a recent conversation he had with new coach Ariana Grande,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “The odds appear to support the rumors, as Blake Shelton’s odds of leaving suggest it’s more likely than not.”
Blake Shelton, who has been the longest running coach on NBC’s The Voice, just entered his 21st season of the show. As he was one of the original coaches when the American version of the show began in 2011, this aligns with US-Bookies’ recent study finding that male coaches typically last longer than female coaches on the show.

“In looking at all the coaches in the show’s 21-season run, we found that male hosts on average stick around for 7.9 seasons, while females stick around for only 3.6,” says a US-Bookies spokesperson. “This means that male coaches stay on the show on average 4.2 years longer than female judges, which is the biggest male-female difference among all countries who have produced a season of The Voice.”
Will Blake Shelton leave The Voice?
Yes: 4/6
