It’s the question that’s kept quiz fans arguing for years, who really is The Chase’s most successful Chaser? Now, thanks to a deep dive by betting company Betway, we finally have the answer… and it’s not as straightforward as you might think.
Using a combination of data including win rate, accuracy, final chase performance, and even financial figures, Betway has ranked each of the formidable quiz giants who have faced off against hopeful contestants on ITV’s hit game show.
Topping the leaderboard financially is Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha, who boasts a 78% win rate across 436 appearances. Known for his dry wit and razor-sharp brain, Sinha also holds the title for the highest average Chaser win total, raking in a cool £14,651 per episode. His average target to beat stands at 19, proving he’s not just fast with the buzzer, but deadly consistent too.
Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, one of the original Chasers, isn't far behind. With a staggering 475 appearances since his debut in 2009, he boasts a 76% win rate. But here’s where he shines, The Beast has the highest final chase accuracy, correctly answering 83% of questions, and the highest average target to beat at 20. That means he consistently faces, and often defeats, some of the toughest teams.
Then there’s Anne 'The Governess' Hegerty, who is arguably the most recognisable face of the show. With 467 episodes under her belt and a joint-highest win rate of 79%, she’s proven to be one of the most dominant forces in Chaser history. In the final chase, she averages 13 correct answers in 60 seconds, fast, focused, and unrelenting.
Relative newcomer Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis has also made an impressive mark, with 81 episodes and a 78% win rate. Despite being the newest addition to the team, he’s already faced a final chase target of 23, showing he’s not intimidated by high-scoring contestants.
So, who’s the best? Statistically, The Sinnerman leads financially, The Beast is the most accurate, and The Governess edges it in consistency. Ultimately, the answer may depend on what you value most, brains, money, or TV presence.
