Luke Littler is now the 7/1 favourite to win the 2024 Sports Personality of the Year Award
Darts sensation Luke Littler has now moved into the 7/1 favourite with bookmakers to win the 2024 Sports Personality of the Year award.
17-year-old Littler has thrown himself into a household name after a tremendous performance at the World Darts Championship where he came runner-up in his debut tournament.
Littler then followed this in January by winning the 2024 Bahrain Masters where he beat Michael van Gerwen 8-5 in the final as well as throwing a 9-darter earlier on in the tournament.
Paddy Power have shortened Littler into the betting favourite for the Sports Personality of the Year award later this year and a continued great season could help him to winning.

What the expert says..
Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham follow in the market ahead of Euro 2024
England footballers Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham are the joint favourites to win the Sports Personality of the Year award in a massive year for the national team.
Euro 2024 takes place in Germany this summer and England go into the tournament as one of the big favourites to win their first trophy since 1966.
Kane and Bellingham are expected to be the two key players for England at the tournament and a winning performance could see either of them win the award later this year.

Mary Earps won the award last year after being one of best players in Women's World Cup
England Lionesses star Mary Earps won the 2023 Sports Personality of the Year award after being the biggest star for her country from the 2023 World Cup squad.
England lost 1-0 in the final to Spain but Earps made a number of big saves in that game including saving a penalty but despite that performance the Lionesses were defeated.
Earps had been backed into heavy favourite to win the award early on and that came to fruition in the ceremony last December where she finished above Stuart Broad and Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
