The bookies have seen a major gamble for the Mansfield swimmer which has resulted in her odds being slashed from 11/4 to even money favourite with Hamilton's odds drifting out from 1/ 2 to 5/4 second favourite. "Almost all of the serious money this week has been for Becky. It is the most spectacular gamble we have ever seen on the award and a win for Becky will cost us a six figure payout." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Cyclist Chris Hoy is 9/2 third favourite with last year's winner Joe Calzaghe at 33/1 and tennis player Andy Murray priced at 40/1. |
