Golfers Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood are McCoy's closest challengers according to the betting, at 4-1 and 6-1 respectively, with Jessica Ennis next at 14-1."Having not even made the shortlist last year, it's great news that AP McCoy has been recognised by the sports writers who nominate the final ten, and if every punter who has ever won money thanks to McCoy's efforts votes for him, he will win the award easily next month," Coral's David Stevens told Bettingpro."He was a 66-1 outsider at the start of the year, but his Grand National success saw those odds slashed to 10-1. “Since then, England's footballers have flopped in South Africa, Andy Murray's wait for a first Major goes on, the F1 pair of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton were eclipsed by Sebastian Vettel and David Haye barely broke sweat when beating Audley Harrison.“Therefore, as far as we're concerned, the champion jockey deserves to receive this public recognition, and this would be one odds-on McCoy favourite we'll happily pay out on," added Stevens.**BBC Sports Personality of the Year - Coral bet8-11 AP McCoy, 4-1 G McDowell, 6-1 L Westwood, 14-1 J Ennis, 16-1 A Williams, P Taylor, 20-1 T Daley, 25-1 G Swann, 40-1 D Haye, 100-1 M Cavendish Read our Coral review Claim your £50 free bet at Coral now Like Like Post to wall 476 Reads All Entertainment News Recent Entertainment Articles BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2012 - David Beckham odds cut31 Dec 2011With 2012 still a day away, Coral bookmakers are already seeing plenty of cash for David Beckham to Mark Cavendish costs bookies with Sports Personality of the Year win23 Dec 2011Mark Cavendish won this year’s Sport’s Personality of the Year to leave bookmakers William Hill wit Mark Cavendish wins Sports Personality Of The Year22 Dec 2011Cycling star Mark Cavendish has been name BBC Sports Personality of the Year for 2011.
