Victorian Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Robertson and Selby were players who looked like the new dominators but it hasn't happened. Trump is next up to be that player. It seems hard to believe that he would replicate that on a regular basis so who can tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I'm just surprised it's taken him this long. After 2011 I expected him to have won it 3 or 4 times by now at the very least. The difference in him between then and now is huge though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how well others played he could destroy them. Something trump did in this final especially in yesterdays evening session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Trump still 100/1 for SPOTY on bet 365. Already won the Masters and World Championship this year. Must be worth a £. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 22 minutes ago, Marvin said: I'll take that. I think its an absolutely great bet. The UK Championship finishes the week before the usual date of the SPOTY. Trump is currently 2nd favourite behind Ronnie for the UK's and if he wins he will have done a season grand slam. It'll be the freshest thing in the minds of those voting if he wins the week before. Even better if he keeps doing well in events in the meantime. Not sure if the bet would allow the cash out option, could give big profits as cash out as he will undoubtably drop in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Andy Murray or Lewis Hamilton still more likely favourites for SPoY. Or a cricketer if England do well in World Cup and Ashes. Also have England winning the Nations League or the Rugby world cup to contend with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Actually think the biggest threat is from the England Womens WC should they do well. Murray might not even play a game of Tennis in 2019 and Hamilton will need to be better than ever if he wants to win a second time. Sterling is a favourite - add in his racism stance which will no doubt buy him bonus points. You need to be exceptional as a footballer to win this award though i always feel. I think he was strongest at the start of this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
