Murray 1.04 to win but will not attend awards, trading opportunity?

Not sure how the voting works?

Vote on the night

The public only will decide the winner from the shortlist of 10 contenders during the live show with a vote. This will be overseen by an independent adjudicator.

Some of the voting can be quite low I've noticed. I imagine it will be much higher this time around, but I wonder if the Anti Andy brigade will view his non attendance as a slight and influence the vote? Its such a cheap lay.

Betfair rules wrote:This market will be turned in-play at the start of the scheduled live show with unmatched bets cancelled. The market will then be suspended at the close of public voting.

So if anybody has access to the vote count that may make the price move.

When the public see Andy with tears in his eyes after his win at Wimbledon followed by an interview on the big screen from a hospital bed wearing a back brace, I suspect the fact that he isn't actually in the studio won't bother too many voters.

Having said that I do hope the layers push him out to 1.1 so that I can get a decent bet on.

There is a precedent

"A couple of little angels are going to rub my bottom." On BBC in the 1960s, brilliant.

Given the porn liberation of our times, perhaps Andy can get a Happy Ending? And then Andy in his best Scots accent, slight panting: "Aftur that chaps, I really dinnae care if I win or no."

LOL, Murray doesn't turn up and is in the shower for his piece on the show. Guess he can return to virtually pick up the prize.

Murray very short priced winner, only drifted a tick.

Leigh Halfpenny surprise winner of w/o Murray market at min of 12 but matched at a max of 150

Mo Farah turned over on short odds to finish in top three. 1.58ish I think. Some notes for the future in there.

Murray looked very stressed picking up the trophy.

It's enjoyable to see the year in review, but some parts seem a bit OTT.

Surely I can infer from the title "Sports Personality of the Year" that the candidates must have a personality? I recall Murray had successful Personality Bypass surgery so he is ineligible??

His Mum should be banned for turning up in fancy dress! I mean who goes to a big event like that dressed as a pack of Shortbread??

I didn't get a screen shot but did you see the graph on Leigh..it was like an inverted graph on an in running horse race!
