1455: As decision time for the
BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award approaches, punters are betting that long time favourite
Lewis Hamilton could be caught and passed by
Ricky Hatton as they come to the chequered flag.
"Ricky is all the rage both to beat Floyd Mayweather and then to lift the Sports Personality Award within hours of each other," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
"At one time Ricky was a 25/1 chance, but a sustained gamble has forced his odds right down to 5/2 second favourite, while Lewis, once almost unbackable at 1/10, is now as long as 4/9 albeit still holding on to favouritism."
Latest William Hill odds for BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award: 4/9 Lewis Hamilton, 5/2 Ricky Hatton, 6/1 Joe Calzaghe, 20/1 Paula Radcliffe, 50/1 Christine Ohuruogu, Justin Rose and Jonny Wilkinson, 80/1 Andy Murray, 100/1 Jason Robinson, 100/1 James Toseland.
