2010 Sports Betting Preview – World Cup 2010, BBC Sports Personality 2010, Ryder Cup 2010 And Much More…

Bookmaker Paddy Power has chalked up a wide array of New Year sports bets to help you kiss goodbye to the noughties and say hello to the teenies.

In what will be the biggest betting event ever seen 2010 will undoubtedly be dominated by the World Cup, but it’s also a big year in golf, cricket and F1 with a Ryder Cup, Ashes Series and Hamilton-Button-Schumacher-Alonso showdown to enjoy.

•    Europe 4/6 favourites to regain the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor
•    Kilkenny hurling team Even money to win a their 5th consecutive All Ireland
•    Padraig Harrington 4/1 joint favourite with Rory McIlroy to win RTE Sports Personality 2010
•    Andy Murray 6/4 to win his first Grand Slam title (and 4/1 for Wimbledon)
•    England 11/2 contenders for football’s World Cup

The BBC Sports Personality award will be a tough one to call next year with top names like Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton and Wayne Rooney contending but 2009’s winner Ryan Giggs is a shining example of how even the unlikeliest of sports names can emerge from the long grass to take the accolade. Ryan Giggs had been as big as 40/1 with Paddy Power.

Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington is the 4/1 joint favourite alongside Rory McIlroy to be crowned RTE’s Sports Personality of the year in 2010.
