Who's so keen for Jonny Wilkinson? £600 at 11.5?

Already won it before - not sure why he should be so short for a career award when he's been in France for the last 5 years?

Check out the same Jonny backer in the Top 3 market too. He's been in both markets for a few weeks now and keeps decreasing his odds with very little getting matched.


Current snapshots of odds after Murray crashing out at Wimbledon in the QFs, England inevitably flopping in the World Cup, Froome 1.97 to win TDF and Hamilton back odds on (1.7) to win the F1 title after winning at Silverstone:

Lewis Hamilton.............3.5 - 3.6
Chris Froome...............4 - 4.3
Jonny Wilkinson............11 - 11.5
Carl Froch.................12 - 13
Rory McIlroy...............24 - 30
Mo Farah...................25 - 38
Justin Rose................25 - 75
Lizzy Yarnold..............26 - 75
Lee Westwood...............30 - 75
Gareth Bale................34 - 85
Andy Murray................40 - 55
Katarina Johnson Thompson..48 - 65

Amount matched £58,399

The Wilko price is very puzzling - got to the bigger than evens to be nominated surely?

Scope for a campaign potentially if he does make the list, but expect the focus to be on 2015 World Cup and 6 Nations rather than anything else.

Froome out of TdeF

3 crashes in two days from a pro cyclist

was he trying to injure himself ?

I really don't get the Wilkinson price at all - OK he helped Toulon win the Heineken Cup but other than that people are backing him expecting a Giggs lifetime award. Well since then the nomination procedure has changed and there has to be a doubt that he would even be nominated. Add to that that Joe Public hasn't seen him on their screens for years and I somehow doubt he has as many fans as Ryan Giggs (Man Utd) then it seems a very odd move snowballed by one big backer??

Justin rose now world number 3 .... 2 consecutive wins if he has a good open or Ryder cup even both i think he will go very close to winning

Taken some Jonno Tommo to add to the 240 I got earlier

Will clearly be the star of the games unless Meaty's tip somehow comes in

Everyone's sick of him anyway

Never enough, as the Cure once said

I hadn't realised how personable Jonno Tommo was, hence backing her. I knew she was widely predicted to hose up, and potentially set the British record

FFS, GB, just spent 10 minutes scrolling up and down looking for someone called Jonno Tommo.

A scurrilous lie!

For me the c games are likely to arouse lots of 2012 nostalgia and feelings. Winners are likely to have a big plunge as the nation goes slightly crazy, especially if live on bbc1 at good times

KJT looks the most high profile and most nailed on winner, given that Mo went crazy doing marathons

Hopefully there'll be a heptathlon market to hedge a little on, but given the talk it looks like she'd be 1.2

Sounds good

McDowell is one of those golfers who has never really captured the imagination of non golfing fans.
No chance for me.

Fatty lee is there. 75 to win for anyone who wants to throw their cash down the drain.
I think hems does

It's the same one that fatty Clarke had

Probably not. Is there a top Falkland Island runner going to the CWG or was it a Cavendish reference?

Irish Sea, Atlantic, it's all the same to me.

Your Brighton jokes never need explaining

When you go up to Scotland Eilidh Child is on every poster advertising the Commonwealth games. lets face it England should win loads of athletics golds in this micky mouse competition. However Scotland only has one chance - Eilidh Child. She is second favourite to win gold I must stress, but she is coming into form at the right time.
