BBC Sports Personality

« on: July 13, 2006, 10:12:01 PM »

What do we think then lads?

None really stand out this year. We have Gerrard, Montgomerie, Calzaghe, Hatton, Murray.....

If Joe gets in a big fight before Dec, he has a good shout, at moment he is 13.5 on betfair, but he's mainly on ITV.

A good performance in Open, & Ryder may see Monty winning. Gerrard was poor in World Cup so can't see him winning, tho Euro qualifiers?

I took Calzaghe at 14/1

It's only July, Young Padawan Cool

If Hatton fights before Xmas, he will win it.

I was going to start this thread in December. Next year I will start it in June Cheesy

If a Brit does anything in the Golf, then maybe them. If not, I think Calzaghe or Hatton. I hope it isn't Murray, what has he done in all honesty? Not much

No way it will be Murray unless he wins the US Open. It is his preffered major though.

If Monty wins the Open he'll get it, otherwise Hatton I think.

If Monty wins the Open it will be him - even a good Ryder Cup could be enough. On Betfair, during the final round of the US Open when it looked like he could win, Monty touched 3.00 for SPOTY.

No other golfer would have the profile to win. England getting off to a flyer in the Ashes could help Flintoff/Pietersen.

However, you've all missed the true live one in the betting. At the moment, the second favourite for SPOTY, at 8, is...

Walliams is a good shout, great personality and he actually did something.

Haha that would be something, but surely bit of a joke. I know what he did takes endurance and fitness etc, but c'mon! Hatton really struggled for his win against Collazo, he was in with a very good chance last year, untill Flintoff came along.
Also Hatton may have more of a chance this year, since he's left Warren/ITV

Who exactly decides/votes on the winner?

The way it usually works is the public send in their nominations at the end of the year, and then the top six are announced at the start of the programme, then the phone lines open.

Here's a question. We've already ascertained that it'll probably be a weak year for candidates. Suppose a Brit were to win the bracelet in the main event at the WSOP...

El Blondie for SPOTY?

Or Monkey Matt?

An Irish poker playing monkey wins BBC sports personality of the year

Bottom.................

Scraping................

Barrel....................

etc etc etc

I'm guessing that jungle creatures votes would not count towards the final total so to be honest my chances of winning would be somewhere between zero and none. In fact that is going to be my crusade at this years WSOP, as well as winning the bracelet i'm going to get primates the vote!!

Move over Emmeline Pankhurst............

I know I shouldnt say anything, but get some money on the Great Britain poker team for "Team of the year" after their heroic performance in the ICHUC victory over Ireland Wink

Monty Panaesar is my tip @16. Popular, likeable, if he has a good Ashes perfomance, he'll definately get it.

In pure betting terms would go with walliams.
He's actually achieved something, in a quick time by all accounts.
Also, sports personality is on BBC and he, of course, is contracted to them. Sure to get lots of publicity and be popular with the general public.
