After Luke Littler's incredible Darts Grand Slam result, the 17-year-old's odds to win the SPOTY award have shortened.
Luke Littler secured his first major ranking title with a impressive 16-3 victory over Martin Lukeman in the final of the Grand Slam of Darts over the weekend.
The 17-year-old superstar won 15 legs in a row in the final, set a tournament record with 60 180s and claimed his 10th professional title in his debut year, joining legends like Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen in achieving this milestone.
As the youngster continues to shock the sporting world with his achievements, his odds have been slashed to win the Sports Personality of the Year 2024 award.
His odds were as long as 6/1 before the tournament began but he can now be found at a best price of 7/2 with Paddy Power.
Littler faces stiff competition however. Athletes like Cavendish, who recently retired after winning his final race at the Tour de France Criterium, and Keely Hodgkinson, with her sensational 800m victory, are also strong contenders.

Sports Personality of the Year Odds
| Candidate | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Keely Hodgkinson | 1/3 | 75% |

Who is the favourite to win the Sports Personality of the Year 2024?
One of the brightest young stars in British athletics, Keely Hodgkinson, currently leads the betting market to win the SPOTY award in 2024 at a best price of 1/3 with Ladbrokes.
Her standout achievement was winning the gold medal in the 800m at the World Athletics Championships - making her only the third British female athlete to do so.
Luke Littler is the second favourite at 7/2 as the 17-year-old's incredible success in his debut professional season has made him an immensely popular figure in the sporting world.
He became a household name after reaching final of the 2024 World Darts Championship, aged just 16 and has proven this wasn't just a fluke as he secured 10 titles this season including the Premier League.
He is the youngest ever player to reach the World Final and the youngest ever to win the Premier League and Grand Slam of Darts.

After securing victory in the Grand Slam of Darts, Luke Littler has overtaken Luke Humphries in the betting to win the World Darts Championship.
He is a best price of 9/4 with PricedUp to follow up on this historic victory at the Alexandra Palace in December.
Interestingly the last two winners of the Grand Slam of Darts - Michael Smith and Luke Humphries - have gone on to win the World Darts Championship.
Luke Humpries is a best price of 10/3 (bet365) to win two years on the trot.
The world number one crashed out of this year's Grand Slam in the group stages when losing to Austrian Rowby-John Rodriguez and fellow Englishman James Wade.
