I thought it was pretty fair.
I wish we got results, but, without them it's pure speculation, but increases my scepticism moving forward. Bet with renewed scepticism in 2025. |

I'd have to agree Jim, when sat with Luke on the sofa he was slouched as if he was on his own sofa watching tv..she didn't look much better.
I thought they came across terribly and thats not making excuses, it was bloody in your face |
|
By:
lol yhtl, stuff like this with live reviews/results have to go to plan. Littlers played it badly, the boooing and clapping my not have been there fault...but sat on the sofa like Jim Royle certainly was a self inflicted negative
|
|
By:
Army, hit the nail on the head. Clapgate followed by Keely VT would for certain lose him votes for the undecided. I'm quite surprised it's not been picked up in the media as if we saw it then THEY saw it.
Imagine they are giving benefit of the doubt at this stage and don't want to sour any future collaborations. |
|
By:
The market has been a prick all year but would he of drifted to 8's had he not had 3 massive negatives one after the other ?
|
|
By:
Yeah, but what they did wasn't bbc fault, I doubt there were many accidental viewers/voters with most having decided beforehand to view and knew who they were voting for.
Luke just didn't do enough to promote himself, to voting public, despite a valiant effort. |
|
By:
look at their faces, not even the hint of a smile - furrowed brow on Daddy Littler as if to say 'feck the Olympians'
I'd add to that, while the rest of the audience was clapping and smiling. 4 negatives on the night |
|
By:
Who knows yhtl, i reckon a very large percentage would of already decided 80%++ for sure but you have to win those undecided votes like you have too in any election.
Those negatives were blatant, its as simple as that. It might of only took one of them to put off a potential voter and he had 4 ![]() |

By:
I had one mate complaining to Littler got booooed and another mate complaining he didn't clap a dying national treasure, go figure !!!

I'm sure most votes were in well before clapgate. Mine were done in 10 times. Market seemed to think ro mattered
|
|
By:
10 minutes
|
|
By:
Just think that's much less important than the 3 vote rule
|
|
By:
5 negatives then
![]() |
|
By:
Before the show he had none and Keely had them all
![]() |

By:
Brushy, we had been discussing noms for months. Lots of viewers would have waited to watch VT's before voting. Everyone on this thread has a Phd in Spoty noms this year

By:
Thanks for posting all the negatives now army, I'll be sure to remember them retrospectively :)
|
|
By:
Somebody always does this bullsh1t after every event, it was my turn today coz i had to make excuses
![]() ![]() ![]() It will never be remembered either coz we discuss the same sh1t all the time, and you can't account for live feck ups |
|
By:
Lol, fair's fair

By:
I think we just didn't realise how little his face fitted on the bbc basically. And how they've been grooming for female winners for years now. It ain't jungle, it's a very different beast
|
|
By:
It's not easy army, but this is effectively the scd audience (ok, a fraction of it) voting on a magazine show, loosely based on sport. It's not Littler's audience, he would have had to have to attracted his fans that wouldn't ordinarily know the show was even on. Which, was always unlikely enough to defeat the golden girl. The market told us that anyway.
|
|
By:
I need to have a check of the reported viewing figs anyway.
|

By:
Sports Personality of the Year 2024- 2.8m

|
By:
Annoyingly i think she would of won the jungle as well, he's too quiet and wouldn't of been able to do all the trials or been knackered. She would of hosed up in that even easier
![]() ![]() The kids didn't vote, otherwise those negatives wouldn't of mattered a jot (sorry JOT lol )Also old skool dart players didn't give a feck, i was posting on county dart pages for support and they just couldn't care less. Should of took more notice, thinking the country as a whole was enough. |
|
By:
I'm debating with myself whether to take on gavin and stacey at the prices. It's definitely the likeliest winner, but I don't believe the market has priced in the change of habits since it was last broadcast. Doesn't look like a bfex market is forthcoming, alas.
|
|
By:
The Chase- 3.1m
The Chase on ITV beat the annual celebration of sport. What used to be, the annual appointment to view. Bet it costs the taxpayers an absolute bundle, too. spoty that is |
|
By:
Summer Olympic year as well. Dire.
|
|
By:
Only 200,000 more than last year in an Olympic year is p1ss poor, had they not capped the voting and multi-voting was allowed he would of won imo given the viewing figures. I was planning on 500 myself at £75 and others were too, i was planning a similar campaign post to that of Sinfields buy him a pint which was buy Kev a pint £3 = 20 votes. I was do one saying buy Luke an early christmas £3 = 20 votes. Alas not to be, will never know now
Gav and stacy last ever episode will be very hard to beat, only ever watched it one episode but is there not a massive mystery over some fishing trip ? |
|
By:
A lot of people will view it on catch up. The King tends to be viewed live, and of course there's a lot of interest around the health concerns.
Voter engagement had plummeted on the show also, iirc. BBC needs to move into the 21st century and have app voting. |
|
By:
Wallace & Gromit is a runner as well. Could have been a reasonably interesting exchange market.
|
|
By:
Would have been a great market. Pity
|
|
By:
I'd like to make one more point then i'm finished with this, why did the SPOTY crowd fake booo Luke ? When this never happens at the darts, must of been some golf goons sat in the audience that thought it was funny.
|
|
By:
...it will have been the same ones that opened the show fake booing 'Roooooooooooot' who then also fake booed 'Luuuuuuuuuke'
|
|
By:
Luke Donald used to get it at the golf, yeah, takes some getting used to.
