(NewsNation) — The “Dancing with the Stars” finale airs Tuesday night, with bettors predicting who will win the 34th season of the dance competition series.
Robert Irwin is predicted to take home the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, according to data from prediction market operator Kalshi.
Bettors think that Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, has a 70% chance of winning.

Podcast host Alix Earle has a 30% chance of winning, according to Kalshi.
Olympian Jordan Chiles, reality TV star Dylan Efron and actress Elaine Hendrix are also competing for the Mirrorball trophy. However, Kalshi predicts that they have less than 1% of winning.
The finalists will perform three dance numbers: a “judges’ choice” dance, an instant dance and a freestyle routine for the finale, according to ABC News.
Irwin is partnered with Witney Carson, Efron with Daniella Karagach, Hendrix with Alan Bersten, Chiles with Ezra Sosa and Earle with Val Chmerkovskiy.
