The BBC 'Sports Personality of the Year' is a ceremony that awards each year the most outstanding British athlete of the past year.
The next vote will not take place until mid-December, yet there is one person currently standing out above the rest in the betting shops. Darts' own, Luke Littler is listed 5 to 1. Three candidates are behind Littler at 8/1, those are footballer Harry Kane, snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan and one of the greatest cyclists of all time, Mark Cavendish.
Spokesman for gambling firm William Hill, Lee Phelps, said, “For those of you who thought the PDC World Championships was a fluke for Luke ‘the Nuke’, he’s since reached two finals against behemoth of the sport Michael Van Gerwen, and shows no signs of stopping," in quotes collected by Oche180.
“After narrowly losing out this time against Van Gerwen in the Netherlands, having beaten him in Bahrain, Luke Littler’s odds have been slashed to 5/1 from 8/1 to win this year’s Sports Personality of the Year," adds Phelps.
