Jude Bellingham remains favourite to win Sports Personality of the Year after his England heroics
England's superstar midfielder Jude Bellingham remains the favourite with betting sites to win this year's Sports Personality of the Year award after his heroics for the Three Lions at the Euros.
Gareth Southgate's England side limped towards an embarrassing defeat to Slovakia on Sunday before a 95th minute overhead kick from Bellingham saved their blushes before a Harry Kane winner in extra time.
Bellingham's performances at the Euros have seen his odds continue to tumble for the SPOTY award after originally moving into favourite following Real Madrid's Champions League win at the start of June.
Bet365's latest odds suggests there's a 26.7% chance that Bellingham is crowned the winner of the 2024 Sports Personality of the Year, which will be awarded in December.
| Sports Personality of the Year 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jude Bellingham | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Mark Cavendish | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Luke Littler | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Keely Hodgkinson | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Harry Kane | 11/1 | 8.3% |
| Molly Caudery | 14/1 | 6.7% |
What the expert says...
Mark Cavendish odds slashed after record 35th Tour de France stage win
Bookies have slashed the odds of Mark Cavendish winning Sports Personality of the Year in the past day after he broke the Tour de France stage record on Wednesday.
Cavendish has long been known as the best sprinter of all time in cycling and sealed that crown with his 35th stage win in the sport's greatest race at Saint Vulbas.
39-year-old Cavendish, from the Isle of Man, could be crowned the Sports Personality of the Year winner later this year to wrap up an illustrious career in cycling.
