Betting is now available on the 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards and the two biggest categories of the night award the best Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year.
Aitana Bonmati and Mikaela Shiffrin share favouritism at the top of the betting market for the Sportswoman of the Year with bookies unable to separate them at the top of the odds list.
Bonmati is arguably the best women's footballer on the planet currently after winning the Ballon d'Or Feminin as well as the World Cup after beating England in the final.
Shiffrin won a record-equaling eighth World Cup Slalom season title in Sweden back in March and Paddy Power put her alongside Bonmati in the market.

Novak Djokovic is the 8/11 favourite for the Sportsman of the Year
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic leads the way in the betting market for the Sportsman of the Year after having one of the greatest seasons in tennis last year.
Djokovic won the Australian Open, French Open, US Open and reached the final of Wimbledon finishing the season with a record of 56-7.
The Serbian's success over the season is the reason why he is so clear in the betting market to win Sportsman of the Year at the Laureus Awards.

| Max Verstappen | 4/1 | 20.0% |
