While Keely Hodgkinson remains the firm favorite to be named BBC Sports Personality of the Year tomorrow night at odds of 2/7, bookmakers are reportedly wary of Luke Littler in the market.
“The Darting feeling has been popular in the betting market since the start of the World Darts Championship, dropping to 12/5 from 10/3 last week, and that’s before we take into account any long-term commitments we’ve made ourselves into” ‘The Nuke’ from the start year.
But folks, it’s worth wondering why bookmakers would be talking about this if it really was a threat to them?
Could it be that they are happy to take bets on the boy wonder, knowing that the title is out of his reach? Certainly not.
“Judging by the bets, it looks like a two-horse race, with Alex Yee and Joe Root being supported at odds of 66/1, while Jude Bellingham and Sarah Storey are available to defend at huge odds of 150/1. “
