Our extensive trawl through the candidates for the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year 2006 continues, even though we’re fully aware the winner won’t announced for another nine long months.

Why are we doing this? Are we just killing time until Big Brother or Eurovision gets going? Yes and no. But mainly yes. Whatever our reasons, though, betting on the winner of the Sports Personality Of The Year this early into 2006 is a canny thing to do – by the time England has crashed out of the World Cup, been humiliated at the Ashes and looked like a group of dumpy plebs at the Commonwealth Games, the long odds that golfers and jockeys have now will be long gone.

So here are the Sports Personality Of The Year betting odds for Tony McCoy, with help from SportingOdds.com…

Tony McCoy – Horse racing is weird, isn’t it? A bunch of tiny
men dressed up all nice and bright, hitting big animals on the arse
with whips to make them run in a line and jump over bits of plant as
fast as they can? What’s that all about? In this weird little world,
Tony McCoy is something of a hero – he’s sat on top of horses for 12
years, and has broken all kinds of records. Will he do anything this
year that’s special enough for him to take home the Sports Personality
Of The Year? He’ll need to do better than last year’s giant arse-up,
but that might just happen. Still, Sports Personality Of The Year? For
riding an animal around and around? Please – Current Sports Personality Of The Year betting odds – 125/1

That’s all the Sports Personality Of The Year betting odds for today
- we’ll be looking at a load more of them until the end of the year,
but don’t forget to keep checking SportingOdds.com for all the latest
