Mark Cavendish is the only candidate being backed to win SPOTY 2011 although Mo Farah could sneak a place on the podium.
Mark Cavendish is a red-hot 1/3 favourite to win the 2011 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award and bet365 are also seeing plenty of interest in a Cavendish/Farah one-two.
bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth told Bettingpro:
“The money continues to come for Cavendish and punters believe he’s well clear of the peloton with plenty of people also putting in Mo Farah for the forecast at bigger prices.”
