Sports Personality of the year

MP33MP33
edited December 2012 in Betting Chat

With all the Olympians been favourites - I only think were gtd triathlon - but which brother to go for

So i,ve opted on a value bet as he was odds on last year and if he were to win the open which he wont be 46/1 for and still got other touramnets and records to brk

BBC Sports Personality 2012
Rory McIlroyWinner 46£3.00£135.00
He,s also fav the Irish Open this week- and after Irelands dissapointing Euro campaign he can bring some cheer back to the Irish

Its not going to one of our footy players now anyway - You can still back Joe Hart at up to 200/1 if you like

EDIT :  Cab,t see his brother in the betting although he didn,t race in Madrid due to injury - Theyve been 1 and 2 when i,ve seen them before and if you don,t want to wait until December the my tip would be to back him for the triathlon in the Olympics

BBC Sports Personality 2012Alistair BrownleeWinner 70£3.00£207.00
EDIT _ A good price for a bit of interest in F1 season - He,s almost been written off but you never know in F1

    Padraig the main Irish hope for the Open and must be backed at 28/1. Glad I got 40's last week he'll only get shorter and can go well this weekend also and firther stake his claims for Mid July.
     
    No cheers needed to be brought back, youtube the last 6 minutes of Spain game when taking a 4 nil battering. We Irish support our sportsmen through thick and thin (and unfortunately alot more thin!!)

    Rory will most likely miss the cut in the Open, and I would not be shocked if he were to miss the cut this weekend back home either.

    For a golfer from the North of Ireland he bizarrely shows a real disliking for bad weather and links golf. Weird but there you go! Prefers sunshine, he's certainly got the right idea I guess.

    True he struggles on links courses when the wind is howling, eg, St Andrews on the Fri afternoon shooting 81. But he still finished 3rd! And he skipped round this course in 61 as a teenager.

    yeah well the weathers going to be more advantageous this afternoon plus the course isnt going to be playing too difficult so maybe he could go low after all. you knocked the nail ont he head saying he'll be up for it. thats the question mark at the moment hes been blowing hot one week and cold the next 3 (when he bothers to play a tournament!!!..........)  if he turns up then hell go ok this weekend i guess. be avoiding him like the plague come the open mind, whatever he does here. has never screamed open champ to me tbh

    I have started to go off him a little bit

    My brother lives and works in Dublin and knows someone who used to work in the clubhouse of where he grew up.
    They didn,t speak to highly off him and it seems even from an early age he was pretty cocky and came accross as quite arrogant. With all the fame now thats only going to inflate his ego.
    Still a great golfer on his day  but like you say "hot one week and cold the next"

    Not sure what his odds are at the moment, but it's very likely Bradley Wiggins will win this years Tour de France.  If he does, I guarantee the whole cycling community will get behind him and make sure he wins the Sports Personality of the year - lump on him now!

    I like the look of Mo Farrah @ 12/1...has a real chance of doing the 5000/1000m double at the Olympics, hes a popular guy and should be well supported

    Mo Frah is about 8,s or 9,s now after winning other day

    New favourite at 5/2 is Andy Murray - even though he,s only half way through his semifinal - 2-1 in sets up and level in 4th set

    EDIT - Bradley Wiggins 4/1 anf Jessica Ennis at 3,s - It seems the nearer the olympics get the prices are shortening for the Olympians

    Even in an Olympic year, it will be a minor miracle if anyone else wins that apart from Murray now...and that's just by making the final, if he wins it then he'll probably be 1/50  I should think!!

    Sports Personality does not need the person to be affable, its always decided on sporting achievement and if he wins on Sunday, the media will hype this up so much, be doubtful if anyone else could win

    Good luck with your Murray bets, but soz, can't be having him @ 9/4 even IF he wins tomorrow. Don't think he will get enough votes outside the middle class strawberries and cream brigade. Most of joe public don't warm to his miserable personality. I think if  Ennis wins gold,  it will take Farrah or Adlington to win a double gold to stop her triumphing.

    Murray is miserable you're right, but if he wins Wimbledon he will definitely deserve to win and seeing as Greg Rusedski once won it for being a losing US Open finalist (says a lot for our sporting achievements that year!), it would be amazing if Murray didn't win the award.

    Looking good for Murray at the moment 1 set up. Personally if he wins it i think this competition is over despite who wins the Open or gets golds at Olympics
     
    As for Bradley wiggins - I didn,t even tour de France was on till the other day - Have Sky TV taken it over?
    Yet there will be millions watching the Tennis today. Its certainly a difficult year with so many British athletes/sportsman doing well

    Latest odds on the exchanges - Bradley Wiggins hot favourite now

    Alistair Brownlee is now out 150/1 and i still can,t see his brother in the prices although they have just been on news at ten and are number 1 and 2 in the world and were talking of gold and Silver which would be no suprise.
    Had  little bet on Mo Farah as he 2 chances 2 take a gold and if he beats the kenyans that will be some feat

    Sorry to be bearer of bad news, but we are only 3 days on from the emotional speech he gave and he is already 8/1 and will continue to drift .

    true but by your same rationale do you truly believe he offered bad value @ 9/4 even IF he had of won?? 9/4 reeks of value compared to the 100/1 ON he would have been if he'd become champion, even in an Olympic year. even a homebred golfer could win by record total in the open and sink winning putt for europe in ryder cup and still not have touched him in the voting. the old joke andy murray is british as still in wimbledon but scottish when hes knocked out, as shown in your quotes of now 8/1 is alot more closer to home than you'd think. 

     top3 will be him, best olympian and wiggins. murray will be 3rd.

     U will note from my previous post - above - that regardless of the outcome of the final I didn't fancy him for SPOTY. When I wrote it, I hadn't even taken Wiggins into consideration. It's a very volatile market though. Wiggins will be fav going into the Olympics (assuming he wins TDF). But I bet he isn't come post Olympics. A double gold for Farah or anyone else, or an Ennis gold will propel them to fav. In fact, if he fails to win a medal, and doesn't final at Flushing Meadow, u fancy a wager that he doesn't come in the top 3?

    i qouted ur above post, even highlighted the IF. dont think he'll win it now personally but it's naive to think he wouldnt be anywhere but first if he had of won on sunday. hed have been an absolute certainty. and i cant see how a certainty would represent bad value at 9/4

    He,s still got the Olympics as well. I personally think that speech will get him more votes than ppl think.

    As said above this is a very volatile market and has changed so much in the short time i started the thread. Think there will be a few more suprises to come

    Any other year you could make a case for the top 4 or 5 winning it
     
    I remember looking at the odds before Olympics and you could get evs on GB getting more than 11 golds ( 28 now) - Could have got a monster price on over 25

    It is alost inevitable that Wiggins will probably win and if he does then fair play to him, but it is refreshing to see four or five other people (as MP33 said) listed who would have won it themselves in virtually any other year. I rated Andy Murray's chances before thinking about the Olympics and the Tour de France...now if he HAD won Wimbledon that would have made the betting for this really interesting!

    A spanner in works would be if MURRAY wins the us open, (better chance there then wimbledon i think), he would also become no.1 in world if he was to win us open.

    All making out to be great year for BRITAIN as a whole, and makes me very proud to be british.
    Just hope england football team can take some of this momentum into the world cup qualifers.

    Gl if having a bet.
