***SPOTY 2017 starts & ends here***

Mo definitely has a podium chance for me. Memorable interview.

On the 1-2 forecast there is no 'any other' so if it is any other, what does BF do? No clarity in market rules. Presumably void

I assumed all lays would be winners ?

Could be bear but I thought there has to be a winner listed that can be backed?

not all combos are listed in the tricast market, no anyother

who is the mad old bag

paid for by the smoking lobby?

OT there was a funny interview on R5 with jonny bairstow after he scored a century, the aussies were sledging calling him prince harry, ed sheeran, and ron weasley

how much longer before the decision? i remember why i dont watch tv anymore..

About time Jess got a SPOTY accolade.

more PC tokenism

Jess

Racists must be proper seething tonight

it's great how she inspires young girls

And now Rebecca

I prefer Fatima

My book would like Lewis to win, I don't think he will

ABAJ

Jr..  If anyone not listed is a winner then all lays would be considered a winning bet. Any others could have been requested

AJ 1.13 at suspension

Thanks bear. I should have requested some other 1-2s.

England under19s should win this.

Beeb really need to stop with their agenda pushing

gotta be equal numbers JR

sam alladyce pictured on bbc with a large envelope

and hes looking disappointed !

some babes in that team, not the one who spoke though

good one donny

England u19s should go to Russia next year & be told they are the Eng squad for the next decade. Would do much better than the pampered, over-rated, spineless Prem players.

bbc song contest of the year more like..

he looks like he could do with a decent meal

they had to get a fat guy because that covers every pc demographic then

this music is SO over-used - remember it when Muzza was trying to win his first Wimbledon

what a joke!

Well deserved result

Sir MO

1.14 and not even placed, discombobulation

£20K waiting to be matched on AJ Top 3 at 1.01 on suspension.

Lucky buggers nobody took it

I saw that. There still must be blood on the floor.

well   ,this is great  its the sports personality award of the year except its not voting on the the personality  haha and now AJ not even placed haha at 1.01 for first 3. and Mo not even in the building   haha. guys i treat this programme with disdain,  i only watch it to see the year highlights in sport .  (:

1.10 was matched O/R

Johnny who in second place !!!
This programme is now a complete farce.Joshua and Hamilton not in the frame, it's beyond a joke.
As for sending a tai kwono girl out as equal to the heavyweight champion of the world to avoid sexual discrimination, the BBC have hit rock bottom.

As a huge athletics fan delighted for Sir Mo.  So often overlooked.  Couldn't have gone to a better winner, although I'm quite gutted the first two weren't reversed

agreed Gull1

Gull lost their bets (NAP)

Sir Mo the value Cool


thanks, this post saved my bacon

appalling figures, lowest ever innit

Wow.

That 1.01 available to lay on AJ top 3 available right until then end.

Amazing scenes. The 1.01 backers could have literally picked up the phone 19 times and got him in.

the four girls nomed fill the bottom of the list

i voted 3 times for peacock, glad i did after getting shafted twice on celeb

Three or four new names on here tonight, which is nice to see; don`t be lurkers, boys and girls, come play with us more often.

Who's creating the SPOTY 2018 thread then?

no real shock with joshua when you consider he only had two fights, beating an old man that fury had already beaten

i am amazed on the voting figures!   for real ? no chance

Who's creating the SPOTY 2018 thread then?

jr usually; with an `all-in on Murray` post. Come on, jr, we need a thread!

In running.
Thank goodness never had a shilling on.
This programme is now a complete lottery picking a winner.

mo got his lifetime reward in the vote, still a p1ss poor count and a very lucky winner considering the winner nearly always doubles that amount at bare min

mo late slot, with comical interview probably got him past the bike blokey

surely some of you had a few quid or a few more quid on peacock when she reminded us strictly had 12 million viewers, thought that was the most insightful guide all night

i was shouting to everyone in my living room, it gets 8 million..eyeballs nearly popped out when she said 12million

muggy Hamilton, the great British public has spoken.



Not even in the top 5.    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I can barely believe the voting aggregate - down almost a half on last year.

2017  544k with 10 runners  54k average

2016  743k with 15 runners  49k average

So actually it's up

Anyone know the highest price matched on Mo?

Anyone?

100    £241
110    £218
120    £331
130    £90
140    £68
150    £105
160    £49
170    £31
180    £36
190    £1
200    £27
210    £18
220    £0
330    £1

Obviously, my first thought was you, but you do so much work already, I wasn`t sure you`d have this info. Should have known better!  So, thanks for that; not only have you answered the actual question, but you`ve also delighted me with the news that I got the best price on Mo! I`m sure we have had a few bigger priced RTV winners, but does `anyone(!!!)` know the Top 3 or Top 5 all-time best priced matched winners?

Just noticed I was charged 12.49% commission! What`s that about, thought it was a max of (generally) 5%?

PC tim?

No idea, Frog. Years ago, had a big football win, they told me I was now in PC territory, but I thought I`d slipped out of that, and have never really looked too closely; just checking my Mo price, happened to notice the 12%, something I would never normally do. Further investigation shows it says `last week`s PC = 0`, but I now also see I`ve paid nearly two grand in PC, something I was blissfully unaware of; they must have been taking small bits for ages, not much to be done except start losing, I suppose.

commiss calculation on this section of the settlement, after first lot was settled on announcement of shortlist?

Not a bad idea, donny, could be the answer.
