BBC Sports Personality of the Year Odds

The BBC Sports Personality of the Year is an annual award given by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Often abbreviated to SPOTY, it is a celebration of sport and those who have achieved spectacular results in the previous year in addition to displaying exemplary sportsmanship.  

Winners are selected by a hybrid approach of panel selection and public vote. The panel decides on a shortlist which is announced before the event. The public can then vote via telephone or online on the awards night itself. 

This is just one of many entertainments and awards available to bet on with our website. Visit our entertainment section for everything from Oscar winners to SPOTY predictions.

There are two main ways in which people choose to conduct SPOTY Betting. The first is to bet on the outright winner. If this is done before the shortlist is announced, there are a lot more to choose from and you can usually get better odds. Once the shortlist is announced, this is whittled down to ten.  

Another way to bet is by choosing the top contenders per category. For example, you may choose the top contenders from football, athletics or categories like manager of the year. This type of BBC SPOTY betting can be easier in a year of major tournaments, for example in World Cup or Olympic years.  

All odds for sports personality of the year use UK fractional odds. The first amount is the total you will win if you place a wager that is equal to the second number. For example, if Lando Norris is 4/1 to win, you will win £4 for each £1 you wager and get your stake back.
