BBC Sports Personality Of The Year Betting 2008
The BBC Sports Personality of the Year is looming and takes place this year at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on December 14 2008. The event is aimed at deciding which sports man or woman has achieved the greatest success in the previous year. They can come from any sport and need not be British although, to win, they will have spent most of their sporting careers on these shores. In the past Irish boxer, Barry McGuigan has won it and Frankie Dettori, the Italian Jockey, came third.
It’s a hot event for online betting fans and a large volume of bets are placed on the outcome. It’s not just about the winner, though, you can also bet on which will win and whether your choice will be in the top three – a kind of each way thing. You can also bet on variations of who will be first and second. It’s worth shopping around on the Internet, not just for the betting variations and the best odds, which do vary a lot, but also to see which online betting sites are offering the best free bets for new customers. This can be a big task so why not try one of the sites that lists the top offers of the moment? They will also help you find the best bookie for you.
BBC Sports Personality Of The Year Betting The Hot Favourites
Competition this year has been dampened slightly by Lewis Hamilton’s achievements in Formula 1 which have put him very much to the fore of the betting. This has unfortunately put Rebecca Adlington into second favourite spot but you never can tell. Formula 1 is popular with the British people and Hamilton is an outstanding nominee but Rebecca achieved wonderful results at the Olympics and that might be just enough for her to create an upset. If I had my way, I’d give the prize to Andy Murray who blew us all, away with his performance at Wimbledon and then went on to advance his skills to such a degree, over the year, that he is now a serious contender for the Grand Slam titles in 2009. Chris Hoy, Ben Ainslie, Christine Ohuruogu and Bradley Wiggins all made their mark in the Olympics and are in contention. Let’s not forget current title holder, Joe Calzaghe either. He can boost his chances with a win over Roy Jones at Madison Square Garden on November 8.
International Sports Personality Of Ten Year Betting
There’s also an award for the top overseas sports personality and this year the competition is fierce. Up for consideration are front runner, Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt, Olympic swimming phenomenon, Michael Phelps, Open Championship winner, Padraig Harrington, tennis stars, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and Tiger Woods, although he has been out of golf for a while with a knee injury.
It’s a glittering occasion and one that is ideally suited to a few friends coming round for a few drinks and a lot of betting fun. These days it couldn’t be more convenient to sign up and bet away to your heart’s content. These days all online Betting sites are licensed and registered so you can relax in the knowledge that your security is guaranteed.
