Pregnant Paula fav for 2007 Award

To date £250,000 has been gambled on the 2007 Sports Personality Award Despite the fact that 2006 has not been a vintage year for British sport, William Hill alone have seen over a quarter of a million pounds placed on who will win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year as punters show their difference of opinions. By far the biggest mover of the week has been Joe Calzaghe who was a 25/1 shot just eight days ago and is now the 11/2 second favourite to win the award. "Joe has come in for tremendous support all week and if the decison goes his way then it will be a knock out result for punters and a bruising evening for bookies," said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams. William Hill have already priced up the Sports Personality for 2007 and make Paula Radcliffe their 8/1 favourite and offer 10/1 for both Jenson Button and William Hill Sports Personality 2006: 1/4 D Clarke, 11/2 J Calzaghe, 11/2 Zara Phillips, 33/1 M Panesar, 33/1 A Murray, 40/1 P Taylor, 50/1 N Cooke, 50/1 B Tweddle, 80/1 J Button, 100/1 R Hatton.
