England and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham is now 3/1 favourite to win Sports Personality of the Year
Betting is still open on this year's Sports Personality of the Year award with Jude Bellingham now moving into 3/1 to win the award after another massive month for the footballer.
Bellingham won the UEFA Champions League last weekend for Real Madrid in a 2-0 win against former side Borussia Dortmund where he got the assist for Vinicius Jr's goal.
UK Betting Sites have now shortened his odds into 3/1 to win the Sports Personality of the Year award with a massive performance at Euro 2024 expected to see his odds shorten even further.
The England midfielder is expected to be one of the first names on Gareth Southgate's teamsheet throughout this summer's tournament and he'll likely create even more hype around winning the SPOTY award.
Bet365's latest betting market suggests a 25% chance that Bellingham is crowned winner of the award with Darts sensation Luke Littler following just behind in the odds list.
| Sports Personality of the Year 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jude Bellingham | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Luke Littler | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Mark Cavendish | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Harry Kane | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Phil Foden | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Keely Hodgkinson | 16/1 | 5.9% |
What the expert says...
Luke Littler had previously been backed into favourite to win the award after a massive breakthrough year
Luke Littler has been one of the biggest names in British sports in the past 6 months following a stunning debut World Darts Championship which saw him get to the final at the age of 16.
Littler turned 17 in January and showed no signs of stopping with two televised 9-darters this year as well as winning the Premier League Darts in his first year in the competition.
It's no surprise to see his name up towards the favourites to win the SPOTY award this year with the latest market giving an implied probability of 22.2% that he wins the award.

Mary Earps was crowned winner of last year's Sports Personality of the Year award
The 2023 Sports Personality of the Year award was awarded to England Women's goalkeeper Mary Earps for her performances for her country at the Women's World Cup.
England lost 1-0 to Spain in the final but a string of saves throughout the tournament, including saving a penalty in the final, instantly made Earps favourite for the award.
Cricketer Stuart Broad finished second after retiring last year with world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson finishing third in the publicly voted award.
