Sports personality of the year

Not sure on whether it was this thread of the Tips for Tikay one but does anyone know what happens to the advised bet with Ladbrokes on there being x number of females in the final 10 when they have anounced that there will be a shortlist of 12.

Is it a void bet?

Wiggins 1.1 to be top 3. Am I missing something or is this an all in?

If you could rely on the British public to vote based on sporting achievement then you'd think so.

But I think the probability a top 3 of Ennis, Murray and Farah is significant enough to worry about at that price.  The Armstrong story might have an adverse impact too on Wiggins' vote as there'll be an element of the general public who'll believe that all cyclists take drugs.

It would be a travesty if he's not top 3 but I'm not entirely confident the public vote will put him there.  If the vote ends up being a 'who they like' not a 'who's deserving' then Ennis, Murray and Farah could well be the 3.

Might go against him?

The news may have an impact on his chances, especially added to the worsening public image of cycling TdF style

Yeah, didn't want to link to a Daily Mail site, but the only other site I could find the same detail on was the Times, and most of that article was behind their paywall.

It's the same scheme that Bill Roache is involved in.  Read a cracking article about him recently, the bloke's utterly bonkers (here's some of what he said here: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/09/05/coronation-street-actor-bill-roache_n_1857082.html)

Whilst we're going tangentially here - the first paragraph of Roache's wiki page suggests he never really had a chance...

Roache's Freemason grandfather was interested in such things as hypnotism, theosophy, spiritualism, homoeopathy and esotericism, and the teachings of philosopher and educationalist Rudolf Steiner.[3] Roache for a time attended a Steiner school set up by his grandfather in the garden of the family home in Ilkeston Derbyshire.[4] Roache was later educated at the independent Rydal School in Colwyn Bay, North Wales.

Mind you, his youthful good looks which no doubt stem from his vegetarian lifestyle, did manage to attract weather girl Emma Jesson (43)...

It's between Wiggins and Murray, with Farah third and Ennis just missing out IMO. I'd go Wiggins but the BBC and its audience love Murray.
