Tips for Tikay

[TightEnd]

There was a bet put up for 5 or 5+, I forget which, Women to be in the top 10 SPOTY list that the public vote on and a big discussion after

Ennis, Pendleton, Nicola Adams, Trott are going to be on the list for 4 I would say

DuJardin, Jade Jones, Kathryn Grainger, Kat Copeland could be too

So it looked a decent bet then and a good bet now


Wiggins, Murray and Farah look to be the 3 mens locks, Ainslie for 4 maybe

Tough year to want to win SPOTY!

15 of the 25 Golds so far won by Women

Charlotte Dujardin could be the dark hor...no I'm not going to do that. She could be the surprise inclusion in the shortlist.

I'd say she is more deserving of SPOTY than Adlington

Is there a "Female Only" SPOTY Prize, & Market?

Anyway, never mind that - next week we have Miss World. I may have a nice little coup lined up for that.

OMG really? Are we tipping virtual car racing in Ladbrokes the week after?

Surely that's even more rigged than Eurovision?

Oi!

Miss World is a HUGE Market. Bigger than Bigger Brother, is Miss World.

Mock away, I've got a right coup going off on that.

4 and 5 have both shortened dramatically - however in fairness moves came around 1st pre Jess, Trott. 2 is the big drifter

I'd swap Grainger for Adams in that list. We love our rowers and she's likely to be getting a pretty nice letter from Her Majesty in December to go with the one she got before.

I'd be surprised if Adlington were tweeting on awards night to complain about the number of women nominated. 5 looks a good bet to me.

Not sure where the value is now

We'd guess more women than men?

The lists are compiled by a panel of local journalists then amalgamated so maybe by the time October comes about the likes of the Dressage, rowing girls etc are a bit less in their consciousness

The Manchester Evening News corry stuck Glen Chapple, Giggs and Scholes in his top ten last year!

There's probably a joke there.

Norwegian Women's Handball unlucky there's no International Team of the Year, obviously

Yes, not sure there's tremendous value - If yiu forced me to have a bet 20/1 six is a banzai, I am struggling think of a male nomination outside the four you picked Tighty - maybe Hamilton if he catches Alonso, no football players, actually the more I think about it I may banzai 6 at 20/1 - do we have a world class female Paralympian who may crush. If so I'm on 6

Yes Tighty, let's do a joint recommendation, I'm having a sneaky £25 now

£25, six women nominations SPOTY at 20/1 Ladbrokes

[TightEnd]

In fact after the furore last year over none last year, I am really liking 6 at 20-1

There are 4 mens locks, I reckon

and about 9 female names for the other 6 spots

[claypole]

I'm on - £40 @ 20s to pay for Christmas......BANZAI
