Lewis Hamilton has also had a great wining streak in 2018 and 19. This makes him one of the favorite for wining the award. He is a brand for formula 1 racing in UK.
Cricket and Football do have competing players and hence the two listing are less likely to win. Voting has never favored a women so, its finally Tyson Fury vs Lewis Hamilton.

Lewis really has a huge chance. And among the 5, he's the only OBE.

Tyson Fury's June 15 victory may have just boosted his odds of bagging the BBC SPOTY award.

[ODDS UPDATED JUNE 2019]

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Anthony Joshua are off the top 5 mainly because of their most recent unexpected loss to underdogs. New entrants to the list include Raheem Sterling and Joe Root.

Based on some sportsbooks' odds, these are the top 5 rooted for to win BBC SPOTY 2019:

1.     2.     3.

4.     5.

If you are planning to place your bets, know that the BBC SPOTY is determined via public voting. It will help to know as well what the sportspersons' track records are (awards received, other achievements, and controversies involved in) as people sometimes vote on who has the most impressive records.

See their sporting record and other achievements HERE.

Who will you vote for or bet on?

I was rooting for Ronnie O'Sullivan. He was #1 on the list. But his most recent loss to an amateur snooker player really made him slide off the list. I feel sorry for the man.

Now I think Dina Asher-Smith is gonna be BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019. Go, girl!

Who else was shocked by Anthony Joshua's unexpected loss to the boxer many mocked for being "fat"? How about Ronnie O'Sullivan's shocking loss to the amateur snooker player?

Now these two sportsmen are nowhere near the top 5 expected to win SPOTY 2019.

I would like Dina to win this but I think she's going to fall behind Sterling or Hamilton. Sterling plays on the most popular sport. Hamilton is probably the most popular on that list.

I guess I'll be rooting for the only girl in the list. I also like Tyson Williams but there are so many controversies behind him even though he's a good athlete.
Well since she was the only female in the group so I will go for her,but I also like f1 race so that will be my second vote 😂

I'd personally go for the good ol' Ronnie O'Sullivan. If youve watched snooker, youll know that he's got it all. Dominant in the world of snooker for the longest time possible and he's got the style as well. Trick shots and angles that one wouldnt even imagine.
Not a fan of that game and don’t even know how it goes so basically O’Sullivan won’t get into my list if ever had another chance to choose

Ronnie O'Sullivan is my choice as well. But I think BBC would go with the most popular option, and that is going to be either Lewis Hamilton or Raheem Sterling. Ronnie is not very popular outside the snooker world. Also, being a cricket fan I would be rooting for Joe Root and Eoin Morgan as well... as they are also rumored to be in the list of probables.

But it's not BBC that chooses the winner. It's the public vote. Still, you have a point there when you said Ronnie's not very popular outside the snooker world.

Correct. A list of players are shortlisted by the BBC and the winner is decided by the voting.
It's not an official list, but these are the british sportsperson that achieved much fame last year. And among the most popular of course if Lewis Hamilton.
The list is missing one important player, Raheem Sterling, if he gets into the list, it would be a tough competition between Lewis Hamilton and Raheem Sterling and british people decide by vote.

We can see that Dina Asher-Smith is the only girl in the group and the only one with no controversies so maybe she will have a high odd in that award for BBC sports personality award of 2019, But even though that all of the men in there have controversies and mostly on Drug Addiction, Some is on depression and we can see that there are mild ones that only involve in a fist fight or brawl they are only human and I really think they deserve a second chance, Well I would go with Anthony Joshua the boxer for a change!

Yeah, Dina seems to be the cleanest among them all, but what's the size of her fan base? I still think Ronnie and Hamilton have more fans (which oftentimes convert to votes). In which case these latter two may have higher chances of getting the award.

So basically this is a popularity contest, right? Then if ever I'd probably just bet on whoever is most popular. I'd have to consider the sports though, whether it actually have a lot of followers.

I would put my bet be on Lewis Hamilton, if I should bet on anyone, Lewis Hamilton should be the favorite on that list. Who else than those 5 people can win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019 award?

Lewis may win the award in the end, in part due to his celebrity status and enormous popularity. But IMO, if merit is considered, then the award should go to Ronnie O’Sullivan. He has completely dominated the British snooker scene during the past two decades.

I guess I'll be rooting for the only girl in the list. I also like Tyson Williams but there are so many controversies behind him even though he's a good athlete.

I'll go for Dina as well, that Tyson do have these controversies. Grin

Controversies:

Mental health issues
Alcoholism issues
Illegal drug use
Criticized for being arguing performing-enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports
Called to be removed from the 2015 shortlist of Sports Personality of the Year nominees for his “homophobic and sexist” comments


Is "controversy" a parameter to judge the sportsman of the year? Did BBC include it in the scoring methodology?

I believe, only sports related parameters should be considered while scoring for the best sportsman and nothing else! They are also human like us so they make mistakes!

My pick is Lewis Hamilton only. The others are not even close to his achievements!

I love snooker so I would definitely go with Ronnie O'sullivan. I was actually surprised to see him on this list since there are other sports personalities that are more popular than him. I am not sure what his chances of winning this award are since he is coming from a sport that's not very popular, at least not for everyone but i will vote for him anytime.

I have done checking the qualifications of Ronnie O'Sullivan and I must say that he is a pretty tough snooker player based on the achievements that he have got so far so I will choose to vote over him as well. But I do not even know the rules on the game rules of snooker so if I will initially bet, it will be kind of risky decision to make but I have entrusted my thoughts into the credentials he have so I guess he might win the title for this year's award for the BBC sports personality of 2019. Actually I am not that popular into sports betting but maybe I could give it a try for this time maybe it was just like another gambling games I have got engaged that based on instinct or gut feel I might be right into betting into this personality. Actually I am really much popular into other variety of gambling games being played into an online casino using variety of coins with affordable price turning my fiat into crypto coins for convenient transaction for gaming experience that can be made possible by the upcoming exchange which is Bitrus wherein you can trade with 50% trading fee and a chance to win a ticket to the world cup of crypto as well as enjoying their great welcoming bonus right after signing up.

Which sport has the biggest audience, that'd be the easiest way to predict the results because if you dont watch Formula 1 racing then I doubt you are nominating Lewis Hamilton.     Theres no doubt Ronnie O'Sullivan is one of the all time greats but even if he got all the votes in his field, is snooker as popular recently as the other choices

It doesn't matter if you have a lot of controversies or not, the popularity matters here.
Without bad record of course, will be an advantage. But how many supporters are going to actively join the voting is another thing?
I think supporters are the only thing that matters in only to win this award. Even if you are a very popular and controversial person that's useless because no one waste their time to vote you. A supporter is usually following you and your actions so it will also support you when you need help and this is the perfect situation.
