The Amazing Race Season 34 Betting Odds
The Amazing Race US Season 34—Winner Odds
- Derek and Claire -400
- Aubrey & David +350
- Marcus & Michael +650
- Luis & Michelle +850
- Emily & Molly +1200
Who Are The Amazing Race Season 34 Teams Left?
Derek and Claire (-400)
Derek Xiao (25) and Claire Rehfuss (26) met on the 23rd season of the hit CBS reality show Big Brother and are currently leading the race after a 1st place finish in the
Derek is a Product Manager while Claire is an AI Engineer and the two are expected to get married sometime in the future. The two currently live in Los Angeles, CA but Chagrin Falls, Ohio native Claire lived in New York City before moving to Lalaland after BB23.
Derek is originally from Baltimore and also lived in the Big Apple before moving to LA.
Derek and Claire won the first half of Leg 8 in last week’s show (Episode 9) to grab the lead. It was the second straight leg of TAR they have won and the third leg Derek and Claire have captured this season heading into these last three anticipated episodes.
The momentum, combination of athleticism and intelligence between Derek and Claire (-400 to win The Amazing Race 34, BetUS), and victories in the last two legs have them as the oddsmakers and bettors favorites here and now the team to beat this season.
Can Derek and Claire be defeated? Of course, they can. There is still plenty of show and race left.

Aubrey & David (+350)
Aubrey Ares (29) and David Hernandez (29) are ballroom dancers who, like Derek and Claire, are also from LA and are also very athletic and smart. Aubrey and David are the The Amazing Race season 34 betting odds second favorites (7/2 to win The Amazing Race 34).
Aubrey is a dance studio owner while David is a helicopter mechanic and the pair are currently sitting in 5th place and have failed to win a Leg so far this season. In 5th place with no TAR Leg wins, why are they second favorites in The Amazing Race Season 34 odds?
Marcus & Michael (+650)
Military brothers Marcus Craig (38) and Michael Craig (30) are the 13/2 third choice by oddsmakers. Marcus serves as a tank commander in the US Army while younger brother Michael is a US Air force fighter pilot. Huge respect and thank you for your service guys.
Marucs now lives in Richmond Hill, Georgia while Michael lives in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The team currently sits in 4th place with just three episodes left to air and the Craig brothers have won an impressive three Legs so far (Leg 2, Leg 3 (First Half), Leg 6).
Luis & Michelle (+850)
Luis Colon (24) and Michelle Burgos (34) have the second longest The Amazing Race Season 34 betting odds at 17/2. Heading into this Wednesday, November 23 episode, the married team from Miami are sitting in 2nd place behind leaders Derek and Claire.
Luis is a firefighter and Michelle is a dancer, so this team also has the athleticism and smarts to find a way to stave off elimination until the final three and give themselves a 1-in-33 shot at willion the cool $1 million. They have won two Legs (Leg 4, Leg 5).
Emily and Molly (+1200)
The longest shots in The Amazing Race season 34 betting odds are Emily Bushnell (36) and Molly Sinert (36) at 12/1. The duo are long lost twins and logic dictates that they are probably eliminated either this episode or the next one.
Why? A number of reasons. Law firm admin worker Emily (Ardmore, Pennsylvania) and Healthcare admin worker Molly (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida) just aren’t in athletic professions like some of the other remaining teams left on The Amazing Race.
Emily and Molly are currently sitting in 3rd place with just one Leg triumph (Leg 3, Second half) all season. There is a reason oddsmakers have them at 12/1 and it’s hard to see them surviving the next two episodes to make it to the biggest Leg of them all, that last Leg 12.

The Amazing Race Season 34 Winner Predictions
The Amazing Race Season 34 starts its homestretch tomorrow night with the conclusion of the Mega Leg and the five remaining teams seeing one more eliminated.
Should Derek and Claire win their third consecutive Leg, expect these The Amazing Race season 34 betting odds to see the favorite rise possibly another 100 cents. But remember here, this is about being one of three teams to survive and make it to the race’s final leg.
And also remember, this show has been taped and all involved already know who won the season and Leg 12 (“The Only Leg That Matters”) which airs on Wednesday, December 7. Don’t be deceived by the betting odds. There are four teams who can win TAR Season 34.
