Ladbrokes offered even money for Blazin' Squad to split by the end of the year, saying there were fears for the band's future with Celebrity Big Brother heartthrob Kenzie so popular.
"We think he's likely to branch out on his own and make it a 6/1 chance that he scores a number one," spokesman Warren Lush said.
The bookmaker also reiterated that it had seen no unusual betting patterns during the series.
William Hill closed its book on the Channel 4 show claiming "sensitive information" was being leaked to punters - a suggestion dismissed by Big Brother.
"If anything, the fact that a big gamble failed on Bez to go when he was up against John McCririck shows that insiders haven't been trying to pull the wool over our eyes," Mr Lush said.
Ladbrokes also offered odds on a number of Celebrity Big Brother specials to happen by the end of the year.
Bez is 10/1 to be the face of Government's "Just Say No" posters, while Diet Coke fanatic John McCririck is at 3/1 to appear in an advert for the fizzy drink.
The racing pundit is 1000/1 to replace Eric Bana as Hulk in the next movie, but a more reasonable 10/1 to appear in a Blazin' Squad video.
The bookmaker offered 10/1 on Bez having a number one single in the UK, and 12/1 on him starring in next series of Strictly Come Dancing.
