Steve Palmer will always be a bellend, not a legend even if he tips up five 100-1 winners on the bounce.

button still the big fav. for top 3

giggs 1.7 now to win

4/6

I quite like Steve Palmer

giggs on the drift, the party is over

ive laid every single outsider..could do my brains here :(

Fenway is Steve Palmer imo

Spot the MUG who layed 1000...me!

you wont grudge me a happy christmas then jimmy69

Was it you who took it?

Can you prove it?

now this is a proper sports star.

jimmy69
pulling your leg :D

Good choice,BBC.

Do Saturdays votes get carried over?

A truly extraordinary golfer.

Olly's had a shocker though

Olly who?

I see, well never mind eh?

seves a legend

For all Tigers majors he'll never get the affection Seve has!

I think Tiger has had rather too much affection lately

Lol Brilliant HRH!

first time I've heard it called affection though !

usain bolt :x

ennis 3rd

button 2nd

he's going to win

:0

** off

giggsy wigsy

what a load of tripe

isn't it

What a fking disgrace

Well played BBC. A phone vote leak and a ludicrous winner.

I wouldn't trust them to run a 'Name the Blue Peter Kitten' competition properly.

go on ryan my son

who won given up on TV ta

unreal imo

phone vote leak??

O happy Day, and thank you Rob Palmer.

what price did Palmer tip him up at?

a classic thread :)

The I/R betting on that was mighty fishy

Backed to odds on. Without seeing the vote totals, how would anyone be able to back Giggs with such confidence?

I do hope Betfair launch an enquirey

Well done those who won money, lets all back Audley Harrison for next years farce.

What ** personality FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst acceptance speech ever :D

it was though, he was 4+ early on, smashed in

kerry katonas a good sport i heard..20/1 next year looks value

Absolutely

I'm even more gutted that someone appeared to be betting on this event with knowledge of the votes that had been cast.

16/1. He didnt deserve it, and that makes it all the better he won. The whole thing is a farce.

I could understand a lifetime award but lets be honest he isn't the player he was and so this award is nonsensical.

The clue is in the title of the award.

No different to Strictly/X-Factor...if you let the public vote it will turn into a farce

Man U fans wanting to win something this year.

Former very good show,but now hugely discredited.
Ryan Giggs has been a very good footballer,but to give him this is just plain daft.
This is what happens when you give people a vote.
We need a socialist dictatorship with me in charge.

This is true. Can we have a referendum and a vote on taking away the public vote? They simply can't be trusted. I'd vote for that.

personality



compared to most mancunians - yeah- hes loaded with the stuff- almost as interesting to listen to as watching paint dry

Steve Palmer take a bow.

I am in absolutely no doubt that Giggs was being backed at odds on, not as opinion of what the public would vote for, but on the basis that the total number of votes had been seen.

I've been robbed.

How do Betfair square this with 'unusual betting patterns' issues, such as the Davydenko match?

its only money

Tax dodgers never prosper. In SPOTY at least.

PMSL at the MT quote.

Money tree really is a legend.

I never really believed it til recently

lol MT needs a special betfair award :^0

lol he'd make a good weatherman

I think he could be all green on heads and tails in a coin toss and the thing would land on it's side.

haha

I would lay Wiggins and Button at those prices.

murray is disliked by british tennis fans let alone non tennis fans lol

Murray must be about 4-1 to win each major on average.

which i think means he is odds on to win a major over the year. If he does win a major he'd be a shoo in for spoty, unless england at least get to final of world cup i think.

i'm no cycling expert, but wiggins was 5-1 to win the tour next year. if he does that, he must be a shoo in for spoty if murray doesn't win

actually murray about 7.5 for aus open, so i'm a bit off there.

would still equate to even money i think for a win in the year

oops again. wiggins 25-1 for the tour, cavendish 4-7 for the green jersey

giggs won by 50,000 votes :D

Not a cycling expert, but surprised if Wiggins wins the Tour unless they circumvent the mountains.

he will race for sky next year. sure when it was announced they were saying he was 5 or 6 to one to win it, but obviously were just trying to take some mug money. oddschecker has him at 25s

MT stops another train!!!! Wonder what excuse he'll come with for this one?
