Christen Harper Headlines Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Betting
Who Graces the 2024 Cover?
It’s always a hotly contested race for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, and are currently 16 names on the list.
We have done extensive research, and we mean extensive, to pick out our top picks.
Christen Harper, the partner of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, headlines betting at +250.
In Harper We Trust
There has been good betting support for Harper, the leading pick to don the front cover.
The 30-year-old firmed into +250, and it’s not just because she’s getting married to Goff. There is a sporting relevance, but she should go close to winning the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover on her own merits.
She talks about how she met Goff via a dating app.
“I swore that he messaged me first,” Harper said. “But when we went and looked back, I actually sent the first message.
“So all you ladies out there, you better send the first message because you never know. You gotta shoot your shot. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”
While it surprises us that Goff was on a dating app, nothing is surprising in 2023.
Harper winning at +250 won’t surprise us either, so take her to win.
From TikTok to SI
You don’t often see social media stars making their way onto the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, but it’s a real possibility for Brooke Monk.
Name not familiar? We’re not shocked, but the TikTok ‘sensation’ has over 21 million followers on the app, and although the followers have a 30-second attention span, magazine editors are taking notice.
She is mainly known for her dance and lip-syncing, and although that’s a questionable talent at the best of times, she’s a fresh face.
Not your typical model, Sports Illustrated could attempt to stay relevant in this sector by selecting her to win.
She’s a value pick at +550, and we think she has a much better chance than the likes of +300 second favorite Katie Austin.
Voting for Spiranac
Paige Spiranac is probably the most famous golfer who rarely plays any competitive golf.
The Instagram model has made millions by ‘playing’ golf is non-LPGA-conformed attire, but who’s complaining?
The 30-year-old played Division I golf for Arizona and San Diego State, and although she failed to earn her LPGA Tour card, it’s in the media where she has gained the most attention.
Voted Maxim’s 2022 Sexiest Woman Alive, Spiranac could see herself on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, and at least she knows how to play sport.
Many of the other contenders don’t, so we think that goes in her favor. Her massive following could also help boost the issue’s popularity, so we’re happy to take the +2500 odds at the sportsbook.
Also featuring in betting markets is Elle Macpherson, who could make a triumphant return to the cover. However, she’s a +15,000 chance, so bettors are at least getting massive odds for the upset.
