One of the best betting strategies is to swim against the tide. Punters behave like lemmings quite often. Well done if you got 50s or whatever price you got, but I still don't think he'll win, and his current price is crazy imo.

you need to read up on the phone voting rules, which are tantamount to saying the BBC can decide who they want to win as they see fit, if they're not happy with the voting 'patterns'. Don't forget Bob Nudd:

9.- The BBC reserves the right to disqualify votes if it has reasonable grounds to suspect that fraudulent, excessive or suspicious patterns of voting have occurred or if it considers there has been any attempt to rig the voting.

10.- All voting will be overseen by an independent verification service.

11.- The BBC reserves the right to cancel or suspend voting at any time. In the event of any such cancellation or suspension, a technical failure or any other malfunction with the phone vote, the BBC reserves the right to arrange for the winner to be decided by a contingency arrangement from the votes cast by former winners, sporting legends and leading figures from the sports industry attending the Director of Sport's reception at Sports Personality of the Year. This process will also be independently verified.

Good clue as to the VT on the show this I would think

When: 02 Dec 09 22:01
he's a bad winner in the sense most people will be scratching their heads saying, 'What has Giggs done this year to deserve this?'
Giver him a lifetime achievement award if you want, but not S.P.O.T.Y. 2009.
I just wanted to point out the wording of the phone vote rules - think it gives room for manoeuvre if they don't want Giggs, as will the edit on the night.

The more people question what he has done, the more votes of course.

the giggs layers are seriously fighting the wrong battle

all this "what has he done?" tosh.

it's a popularity contest this year because there is not a standout winner.

I'm not laying him aa, never said I was. GB has just ramped him to high heaven - I'm making the point he doesn't deserve to win. If Utd fans are as desperate as GB appears to be, he may win it. I don't think he will more cos I don't think the BBC will want it and will go out of their way to make sure it doesn't happen.

Is this Giggs ramp finished yet?

If an Ashes-winning captain is reckoned to be a rank outsider,
what has Giggs done this year to be rated ten times more likely
to win than said captain?

When: 02 Dec 09 22:21
forget the betting for a minute

i know this is a poor year but is this not a parody of the award it once was?

look at the names on there and compare them to this shortlist; it's a fecking joke

if phone voting manipulation further tarnishes it they would have been better off scrapping the award, this lot shouldn't even be on a shortlist

wouldn't lay him on SCD next year mind ;)
