this rarely seems to go 100% to form, what odds the tricast?
anybody betting on a 1.01 shot based on a few minutes of the public voting by telephone needs their heads examining. Didn't look at the betting until the result was announced and was truly amazed to see £20k at 1.01 in the pink side on Joshua, with £76k already matched |

All I can think is the public have 'given up' on the sports
that have sold their souls to PayTV Only a few thousand are watching the Ashes currently |

WTF is the Bloke who came 2nd
|
|
By:
Really! What a farce!
|
|
By:
this all shows that a lot of people voting know naff all about sport, voting for Peacock just for his dancing, I think they thought they were watching a different program!

You get MO winning after his brilliant career.
Rea is a superstar in a select sport but its nice he beat Hammy. Peacock is won for people doing brilliantly against the odds. I could not have AJ as the winner, wish i had layed now. |
|
By:
Hardly anyone has heard of the bloke in 2nd! Quality! The BBC gets more of a joke every year.
|
|
By:
no doubt in my mind that Mo is a very deserving winner, could moving back to the UK have helped the vote?
|

They're dancing in the streets of Mogadishu.

IB you may not have him as the Winner but if you had him out of top 3 you have a crystal ball that is worth infinity

Farah surprised by BBC Sports Personality win....
Here's Mo on BBC Radio 5 live... loud applause all round! "Mate, I didn't see that coming. I honestly thought I wasn't going to win it," he says. "We have such amazing sports in the UK with people doing great Lewis Hamilton, Jonnie Peacock and Anthony Joshua. "I thought my closest would be after London 2012. I guess anything can happen. "It means a lot to win this. I am very surprised to win tonight and I'm just sorry I can't be there to celebrate." |

Winner Farah hitting the road again on Monday
Farah continues: "It's something special, pretty amazing. I watched BBC Sports Personality every year. "Having come so close in 2012, I thought 'mate, this thing is so hard to win'." How will he celebrate tomorrow? "Tomorrow, I've got a couple of runs and my coach, Gary, is coming to see me. "I hate the cold - I don't mind the distance!" Well done that man |

Mo speaks at Echo Arena.......
After the show went off air, Farah spoke to those inside the arena. Appearing close to tears, Farah said he was shocked to win due to the quality of the other athletes going for the award. He said: “It is pretty amazing and hard to think about. “I didn’t imagine I was every going to win this but I anything can happen. If you work hard you can achieve your dreams. “I am sorry I couldn't be there. My kid has been not well. “I just cannot believe I have won.” |

Oh well, I did back jonathan rea at 140/1 so I got a bit right
 I have never liked mo, but I suppose he did deserve it. These awards are more like a lifetime award. |

I'm amazed AJ didn't win. Heavyweight boxing champion of the world is THE sporting achievement - nothing tops it IMO - whoever holds that title is recognised by billions around the globe.
|
|
By:
It maybe was the drugs conviction that put middle england off from voting for him. It is surprising as boxers have done well.
|
|
By:
Being heavyweight champion at the moment is nothing, he nearly got beat by a 45yo. Glad fans saw through all his lovely PR.
