im starting to think 5.2 ennis is a pretty decent price. apparently the show is from her home town sheffield so she's gonna get a massive reception and basically be the star of the show. also women have a decent record in SPOTY and i think the pretty girl aspect is a massive vote winner. look at zara and even beth tweddle (until she opens her gob, bless her) who was placed.
i'd much rather be on her than murray at a similar price. only hope for murray is a US open win and even then i wouldn't be 100% confident - GBP aren't mad keen on him |

Still think Freddie is the winner. The Ashes is the main sporting event of the year imo. We won. The vast majority of people who vote on this show are not sports fanatics. Women voters want to be with him, men voters want to be him. If Freddie makes the shortlist (which I think he will), people will vote for him, in a way that people voted for Calzaghe and Redgrave in the past. Its not necessarily what he has done this year, but a careers worth of Test cricket which people will be voting on. He will win it easy. |

Prior got Punting in the face from close range when he wasn't wearing a helmet. He should be odds on.

Freddie won't even make the shortlist I suspect Cuban.
Strauss will |

Don't understand why Idowu (who has a personality) is 25 times the price of Ennis (who seems not to have one) for a competition with 'personality' in the title.

she is good looking and female and is a new face.....he has more piercings than is healthy..admits to being strange and has been around for ages..hth.
|
|
By:
^ his reaction after his win and subsequent interview was very emotional. Probably one of the most endearing interviews in the whole games.
a long way from being strange. |
|
By:
well my horsey chum you can vote for him
|
|
By:
cant believe strauss is trading around the 10/1 mark. should be 100/1 imo
|
|
By:
Did he not guide England to Ashes victory and win man of the series?
Or am I thinking of someone else? |
|
By:
Murray can't possibly win either ;-)
|
|
By:
clarke was man of series
|
|
By:
Strauss won Player of the Series for England and Clarke for Australia.
Strauss also won the Compton Miller award which is awarded to the player who has had most impact on the series. Strauss is a certainty for the Top 10 and while he is unlikely to win it I wouldn't want him as a red position. |

well u gotta have someone red if u want someone green ya mug Rich mug :-) |
|
By:
I am red on Lewis Hamilton, Tom Daly, Mark Cavendish, David Haye, Tony McCoy and Freddy Flintoff. There you go, Sir Dennis, cards on table.
|

By:
bl00dy hell - yr not one for laying the jollies are u??! tony mccoy?? wot price u lay him?? 100000/1??!
|
|
By:
Yes. Would much rather be red on Strauss, Murray, Ennis, Button to be fair :-)
|
|
By:
Fred at 7.8. Surely won't get shortlisted.
But then I've been wrong before |
|
By:
Freddy is a certainty to be shortlisted, along with Strauss imo. But this is a 2-horse race that will very soon be a one-horse race imo. Murray vs Ennis and Murray has to win US Open which looks a near impossible task given he is likely to have to overcome Del Potro in qf, Rafa in sf, and Fed in final. Ennis at 9-2 is stunning value still imo.
|
|
By:
Don't think that at all jr. Broad far more likely. 18 vs 8 wickets 234 vs 200 runs
I think they will actively avoid shortlisting him, as he would be a very strong contender to win. Which would be ridiculous really. Agree though, Murray vs Ennis for me, with Button and Strauss on the outside rail |
|
By:
Layers going mad again. Blue book is just over 100% and I don't see anybody getting listed that will trade below 1000, can you?
|
|
By:
Market now at 100.2% with my 4 possibles Button Murray Ennis Strauss taking 68% of that.

England football star David Beckham has broken Bobby Moores national team appearance record with his 109th cap in the 4-0 friendly win over Slovakia at Wembley. According to the Sunday Express, Beckham achieved the record at the half way stage of the match, leaving his fans quite excited. go on alex get him added, a great man :) |
|
By:
As an overseas personality donny?
|
|
By:
Fred will surely be shortlisted for his test career GB - at the forefront of 2 Ashes wins, this summer's series possibly being the last ever time he plays cricket. His spell at Lord's one of THE sporting moments of year - Eng's 1st win there in 75 years. The latest reports suggest he may never play again, adding to the mythology of the great man. Cannot see the Beeb not shortlisting him for fear of him winning again.
|
|
By:
Tis possible I suppose. We'll see. In the cold light of day Broad had a far better series.
Can't see 3 cricketers shortlisted |
|
By:
I perceive Flintoff as a household name and Broad as not.
|
|
By:
Ennis is way over priced still, i topped up again yesterday at 5's having already backed her at 16's a couple of months ago
Murray may lose to Fereder Button is imploding in F1 Cricketers shared the glory What other achievements bar the cricket team will their be in the year if button and murray both finish as RU which is still a major possibility?? |
|
By:
I see Broad as young and thrusting, Flintoff as old and knackered. Spoty often favours the former

David Haye to be Heavyweight champion of the world would out do Ennis. Ennis may be lucky to finish in top 3 |
|
By:
dont be daft. no-ones heard of david haye and boxing is nothing like the draw it used to be. will his fight even be on the bbc?? presumably not. ennis will be the home town hero on the night and will be the star of the show. bombproof for top3 and like the poster above says - v good value still at 5 ish
|
|
By:
Haye about as likely as Cavendish. Will make up the shortlist variety and numbers.
|
|
By:
Sir Denis Eton-Hogg, I think more people know who Haye is compared to those who know Ennis. And after seeing how Ennis did today against Fountain in the hurdles and with Cluft and others missing in Berlin, I think those in the know, know Ennis won posibly the weakest pentathlon at world level ever.
