BBC Sports Personality 2008 - The GAABoard Votes!

[Franko]

Lets gauge the opinion of the GAA Board faithful on this...

I'm taking Calzaghe... although I dont think he'll win it...

[Tony Baloney]

Calzaghe has no chance this year - straight fight between the Olympians and Lewis Hamilton.

[nifan]

Christine Ohuruogu is very unlikely as well

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Don't even know who half those people are!

Hamilton will get it, it's a predictable show most years.

[full back]

 Joe Calzaghe
Lewis Hamilton
Chris Hoy

Will be very suprised if any of the above 3 dont get it
Did Calzaghe get it last year? If so, you can strike him off the list as well


Betting from Ladbrokes

Lewis Hamilton  8 - 13 

Rebecca Adlington  11 - 4 

Chris Hoy  7 - 2 

Joe Calzaghe  33 - 1 

Andy Murray  66 - 1 

Victoria Pendleton  100 - 1 

Nicole Cooke  125 - 1 

Ben Ainslie  125 - 1 

[Our Nail Loney]

Hamilton will get it

The bookes agree: http://www.oddschecker.com/specials/sports-personality-of-the-year/win-market

You could have had him around 7/4 the weekend before he took the title, thought he was a cert back then but didn't even do it. Worst

[Tony Baloney]

Christine Ohuruogu is very unlikely as well

By Olympians I think you can narrow that down to Chris Hoy and Rebecca Adlington with Team GB getting the overall team prize. I think it will be Hamilton, Adlington, Hoy in that order but if the women vote in numbers Lewis could be second.

[Tony Baloney]

Looks like the bookies are following my predictions 

[passedit]

In light of previous triumphs i'm dissappointed there's no option to vote for Prince Andrew now that he's got his handicap down to single figures and centuries of inbreeding.

[thebandit]

No Seán Cavanagh?

[Franko]

It's the official nominees list from the BBC... so... no

[Evil Genius]

Hamilton will doubtless win, though imo Adlington should, both for her Sporting achievements and her Personality.

[Our Nail Loney]

Hamilton will doubtless win, though imo Adlington should, both for her Sporting achievements and her Personality.

But her nose!!
