The list is so thin
Rory would need an open win to compete, keely a world record

If they make the final it's all over though, they are favs to beat the argies now

Josh kerr attempts the world mile record on saturday in london on the bbc. Chance if the ballers get knocked out tomorrow. He's not even listed ffs.

Same could be said for fery or 90% of the field but we might get a lay price come saturday night

Like mbaps for golden boot at these odds

As you've said, getting to the semi might be enough and the market's certainly not writing them off, so not over yet.
Anyway, new max red is Matt Weston; 8.0? WTF is that all about???

Yeah weston is absolute fluff. How does he beat Bellingham? Who remembers who he is? Rory seems too short too, hens teeth winning a second one in a row

Belly should be in team of the tournament, kane no chance

Better get josh kerr added

New world record!!!

Lay of the year!

I made a real mess of this market last year, I managed to turn a fair sized green on McIlroy into a red last year, so I told myself not to get involved this year.

just had a few small tenners so far

I (and the market) thought Bellingham was a non runner after he slapped that argie, but he's just scored again like a boss in the WC 3rd place play off, In from 24's to...

Getting a bit radgey with useless kernt tuchel does no harm either

Jude wins if nominated. Simple

Most ever goals scored at WC by an England player is his "win"

I ain't saying I'm a believer, but I wouldn't be surprised if that strap line gets him into the spotty final.

Kerr is a private school Edinburgh twunt stu, the jocks would rather vote for Bellingham than him

Agree with lifter, and with kimble on rory.  Nobody is bothering to vote for him this year

Well tbf, leclerc looked good and has resumed normal service of being the best ferrari driver

..and I agree with above he hasn't actually won anything.

If it was a true old-school SPOTY vote, where the actual nation (and males mostly) still voted, then I'd agree with some of that logic.

But IMO it will be more about a (at least partly) block Scot vote, and a lack of any real turnout from the footy fans for SPOTY by the time it happens. They don't turn up like they used to do for this kind of event. Plus it's worst time to back Belly now, he's today's buzz, but didn't actually win anything, played well is all. Playing well a criteria to win SPOTY? Not at a short price IMO.

By November I think the world record holder over a blue ribband athletic event can get it done, with the help of some Scot block voting.

Voting numbers are pathetic these days, which is why they hide them - and most footy fans, even if they like Belly now, will not be bothered to get involved in a TV woke show of voting. They will be out getting p'ssed and chanting about Reform support instead.

He has a chance for sure in this, just not so sure how good that chance is, compared to a world record holder and world championship winner this year.

He just hasn't won anything, and I'm struggling to think of many that won this event that didn't win anything. Giggs would be closest example potentially, but that was an extreme outlier, not a short price selection.

He might not even get listed, as they don't have to - though I think it's likely he would get listed. The two girls from England split their vote despite winning also. If Kane is on the list (likely too) then he's dead as a selection IMO.
