New Star
Great Britain has a new sporting sweetheart, a record-breaking tennis player and almost dead cert winner with betting sites of the BBC's annual Sports Personality of the Year award.
Prior to the US Open and Emma Raducanu was not a name everyone in Tennis knew, outside of Tennis virtually no one did.
But the 18year olds 'actions have [not just] captured the British publics attention', the prerequisite for winning the BBC TV award, but the entire world now knows the name Emma Raducanu
From an entirely considered 500/1 to win in SPOTY Betting, her odds to oust all Gold Winning Olympians in Olympic year has been smashed into just 1/12 - In other words, for every £12 you bet on her to win, you would just £1 - It is probably still the best value bet of the year!
