BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019 betting [ODDS UPDATED]

[hayleewilson]

[ODDS UPDATED JUNE 2019]

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Anthony Joshua are off the top 5 mainly because of their most recent unexpected loss to underdogs. New entrants to the list include Raheem Sterling and Joe Root.

Based on some sportsbooks' odds, these are the top 5 rooted for to win BBC SPOTY 2019:

1.     2.     3.

4.     5.

If you are planning to place your bets, know that the BBC SPOTY is determined via public voting. It will help to know as well what the sportspersons' track records are (awards received, other achievements, and controversies involved in) as people sometimes vote on who has the most impressive records.

See their sporting record and other achievements HERE.

Who will you vote for or bet on?

I guess I'll be rooting for the only girl in the list. I also like Tyson Williams but there are so many controversies behind him even though he's a good athlete.

I'll go for Dina as well, that Tyson do have these controversies.

Controversies:

Mental health issues
Alcoholism issues
Illegal drug use
Criticized for being arguing performing-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports
Called to be removed from the 2015 shortlist of Sports Personality of the Year nominees for his “homophobic and sexist” comments

Always love on  Formula One (F1) racing then my vote goes for Lewis Hamilton.

[Bitinity]

Is there any bitcoin sportsbook offering this market? I would like to bet on Lewis Hamilton as he is the only one I know between those 5 players LOL
The odds for Lewis is 10-11, nice odds to bet on although we should not bet too much as he is not the most favorite one so far.

Tyson the most Controversies person compare to the other candidates but what odds for each athlete because i could not find sportbook which provide bets options for them

[swogerino]

I think that Lewis Hamilton is always the strongest favourite to be BBC Personality of the year.I think he is more notoriously known worldwide than any of his competitors.If the odd is over 1.8 I would bet on him without hesitation at all.

Which website offers such bets as I haven't seen any yet from the websites I play ?

[MakeMoneyBtc]

I love snooker so I would definitely go with Ronnie O'sullivan. I was actually surprised to see him on this list since there are other sports personalities that are more popular than him. I am not sure what his chances of winning this award are since he is coming from a sport that's not very popular, at least not for everyone but i will vote for him anytime.

[Ucy]

Is this some sort of sports betting on BBC website or awards to best sports person?
What exactly is reason behind this post,? You want people to bet on who wins the award or us to vote for someone we believe should win

[cryptjh]

I would put my bet be on Lewis Hamilton, if I should bet on anyone, Lewis Hamilton should be the favorite on that list. Who else than those 5 people can win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019 award?

I guess I'll be rooting for the only girl in the list. I also like Tyson Williams but there are so many controversies behind him even though he's a good athlete.

Me too. Just by looking at their faces, it feels like the girl has the most pleasant look, and if you read online also she has the most pleasant personality. I do not know who the others are but this is a PERSONALITY contest right?

Then for me,,, hands down Dina Asher Smith wins this award, or wins my vote at least!

I'm also big fan of snooker and Ronnie "The Rocket" O'sullivan. He is an amazing player, and he is g.o.a.t. player of snooker. If I would have to choose, I would pick him. I think that Lewis Hamilton also have good chances to win.

Well, it's not a contest of beauty. Being pleasant personality is important thing, but I think that their sports achievements is the most important thing in these elections. Offcourse, Dina Asher Smith is great athlete, no doubt about it.

Lewis Hamilton I would guess mostly, he is a world champ and quite a unique talent for the UK.    Also he is in the tail end of his career, not sure thats relevant or not but possibly a person is more likely to win when recognised and respected by many people over the course of their careers achievements.

Ronnie is a rascal, only thing I can think of why he wouldnt win but this might be his year possibly

[maydna]

I choose Dina Asher-Smith because she is the only female on that list

The other candidates have the controversies, and I don't think that it will be good for their rating for people to choose, but we don't know about that. Only Dina Asher who doesn't have controversies inside her profile, I don't know how that could happen while the other candidates have the controversies. It is better to see the results later who will be going to be the winner.

[leea-1334]

@LTU I agree, this is not a beauty contest but if the voters are mainly male, they will vote for her. Trust me however,,, most of the voters will still be voting the guys for their achievements, as you say.

For me sports people already have the best awards in trophies and prize money. This is more about how good they are as a person, no controversies, sportsmanship behavior and kindness.

According to BBC statements : This award goes to the sportsperson whose actions have most captured the UK public's imagination during 2018. This means the winner doesn't necessarily have to be the person who had the highest achievements this year. The winner will be choose by people and not by a jury so probably the most popular in the list will win this award.

We can see that Dina Asher-Smith is the only girl in the group and the only one with no controversies so maybe she will have a high odd in that award for BBC sports personality award of 2019, But even though that all of the men in there have controversies and mostly on Drug Addiction, Some is on depression and we can see that there are mild ones that only involve in a fist fight or brawl they are only human and I really think they deserve a second chance, Well I would go with Anthony Joshua the boxer for a change!

The winner is done by public voting, so whoever is the crowd's favorite will get this award.

It doesn't matter if you have a lot of controversies or not, the popularity matters here.
Without bad record of course, will be an advantage. But how many supporters are going to actively join the voting is another thing?

I think supporters are the only thing that matters in only to win this award. Even if you are a very popular and controversial person that's useless because no one waste their time to vote you. A supporter is usually following you and your actions so it will also support you when you need help and this is the perfect situation.

Which sport has the biggest audience, that'd be the easiest way to predict the results because if you dont watch Formula 1 racing then I doubt you are nominating Lewis Hamilton.     Theres no doubt Ronnie O'Sullivan is one of the all time greats but even if he got all the votes in his field, is snooker as popular recently as the other choices
