Gareth Bale now 16/1 on the machine

He'll get massive Welsh support. What's the usual number of votes? Can the Welsh vote him home? I love him now.....

Get a load of Spurs fans as well

 

[KingKev]

Bale will win it and Wales the team prize due to nationalistic voting patterns - unless a jock comes good in the Olympics / Murray wins Wimbledon plus the singles and doubles at Rio.
With the wide field offered to the public, English voters will largely be split on the lines of their favoured sports, whilst the people in the other home nations are likely to get behind their own regardless of whether they have ever seen them do their stuff.

11/1 gets my vote

Interesting to revisit this thread as we edge nearer SPOTY night. Anyone want to update their predictions?

 

[Giraffe]

I would think Murray is nailed on.

 

[whitelion]

If Lewis Hamilton manages to win the Championship he might have a chance.

 

[Gwylan]

I would think Murray is nailed on.

Him or Mo - can't see beyond those two

 

[desprateseagull]

Mo Farah, with Usain Bolt as the international winner.

 

[Whitechapel]

Can get Murray at 13/8.

Think I'll be sticking on that, especially as he could be the world number 1 by the time SPOTY happens.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I would think Murray is nailed on.

I'd agree, but for me he needs to start scoring goals away from the Amex, not just at home.

 

[Goldstone1976]

I think my Mo EW bet is looking pretty good for a modest return, but if Murray ends up world #1, adding to Wimbledon and retaining the Olympic title, then Mo has his work cut out to make me some proper money.

Shame really - there can't be too many sportspeople who have won 5 World titles and double double Olympic golds in a (reasonably) major sport and not won SPOTY.

 

[knocky1]

Gareth Bale for me.
Outside bet on Ben Stokes at 474/1 after we win the upcoming Indian Series 4-0 @250/1 with multi man making up for lack of English spin and smashing the ball all over the sub continent.

 

[SK1NT]

Nooo way Murray. Already won it last year and has won it 2 in 3 years. Is he going to keep getting it every time he wins Wimbledon ffs

Mo has to be the winner. I was surprised he did't win in 2012 but after the double double has to be Mo... Usain as international winner.

 

[Simster]

Murray update:

As everyone knows, he will be world #1 if he wins this tournament and Djok doesn't make the final.

Djok is currently a set down to Cilic in his current 3 set match...

 

[ozzygull]

Why is "Mad Dog" Maddie Hinch not on the list. Her performance in goal for the GB woman's team at Rio was nothing short of amazing and she is from West Sussex to boot.

Mo won't win it. Not a chance. The Salazar stuff will see to that. tainted in a few too many's eyes to poll enough votes.

 

[Simster]

Djokovic loses!

Yeah, I suspect you might be right. I hope not though because I have £25 on him EW at 22/1.
