Next year can be special for David Beckham as he is the most likely to become a Knight in Great Britain. Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood is the highest but he is only one from a number of candidates. Let’s see the whole list!
A Knighthood/Damehood is one of the highest titles in Great Britain. It is given to British people by Queen for their achievements in their country. Following online sportsbooks in the UK, here are the odds of all the celebrities who can receive the title in 2020 at 22bet:
- David Beckham – 2.00
- Gareth Southgate – 7.00
- Daniel Craig – 8.00
- Lewis Hamilton – 11.00
- James Anderson – 13.00
- Olivia Colman – 13.00
- Mary Berry – 13.00
- Jonny Wilkinson – 21.00
As we can see from the predictions, a former #1 football player is the main candidate to get the special award. However, he has serious competitors whose chances to receive a title are justified by some circumstances. So, let’s see the top-3 celebrities who can become a Knight or Dame in 2020.
Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood are the lowest
He and his wife, Victoria, have already received the Officer title, so both Beckhams are close to getting a higher one. Betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood say that David will do it first and odds of 2.00 confirm this theory.
Popular British actors can also profess to receive the title
Despite betting odds on Beckham to receive a Knighthood are the lowest at 22Bet Sportsbook, there are two film stars who can accompany him. The first one is Daniel Craig, the latest actor to portray James Bond, an iconic British character. Craig’s odds to receive a Knighthood in 2020 are 8.00 and primarily ground on the No Time To Die premiere that will take place next year. The last Bond film with Craig’s participation is a good reason to award the actor with a prestigious British title.
