The winner of the Women’s 800m in Paris is the big favourite to win this year’s Sports Personality of the Year.
Having delivered an expected gold medal in the Women’s 800m at the 2024 Olympics last night, Keely Hodgkinson is a big mover in the Sports Personality of the Year 2024 market.
Sports Personality of the Year Odds
| SPOTY 2024 | Best Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Keely Hodgkinson | 8/11 | 58% |
| Emma Finucane | 9/2 | 18% |
| Luke Littler | 7/1 | 13% |
| Josh Kerr | 16/1 | 6% |
| Mark Cavendish | 16/1 | 6% |
The 22-year-old is now odds on with every bookmaker on the oddschecker grid with a best price of 8/11 on Ladbrokes (implied 57.9%).
However, it must be noted that Hodgkinson was a general 2/1 before she started her campaign in Paris. Which makes Josh Kerr’s price all the more interesting.
The 26-year-old goes for gold in the Men’s 1500m final tonight at 7:50 pm BST.
Kerr is a shortest 8/1 to win SPOTY 2024 but remains a biggest price 16/1 on Sky Bet. He can be backed at 13/10 to win the 1500m title from fierce rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
Men’s 1500m Final Odds
| Men's 1500m | Best Odds | Worst Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Jakob Ingebrigtsen | 4/5 | 3/4 |
| Josh Kerr | 13/10 | 6/5 |
Men’s 1500m World Record
