Today's
Bettingzone Market Moves:
1600: It's
party time at the K Club where Europe have successfully defended the Ryder Cup against America.
They currently hold an unassailable 16-8 lead with a few matches left out on the course on what has been a glorious day for Ian Woosnam and his team.
Although the betting on this competition is over Darren Clarke is now the odds-on favourite at 5/6 on
Betfair to win the Sports Personality of the Year award.
Equestrian world champion Zara Phillips had headed the market recently but she has now been pushed out from 13-8 favourite to 11-4 as money has poured in for Clarke since yesterday.
Clarke, who has just beaten Zach Johnson to complete a fine 100% record at the K Club, has been backed at a high of 249-1 on the
Betfair market, with one punter striking a £15 bet at 199-1, and those who took those odds are sitting pretty.
Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin said: "Clarke is the latest favourite on this market and, in my opinion, he is there to stay.
"In betting parlance, he ticks all the right boxes."

If it was Darren Clarke who holed the winning putt and not Henrik Stenson, I would say yes, the
BBC uh, I mean the public would be falling over themselves to vote for him.
Garcia did more and I thought Casey's contribution was far more important but hey, it's sentiment that counts.
