Bookmakers have stopped taking bets on who will light the Olympic cauldron after a ?monster gamble? was placed with William Hill on Sir Roger Bannister. Sir Roger Bannister has emerged as the late favourite to light the Olympic cauldron (Picture: Getty Images) The 83-year-old has emerged as a late strong favourite to light the Olympic cauldron ahead of previous front runners Sir Steve Redgrave, Lord Sebastian Coe and Daley Thompson. Bannister is a sporting legend after becoming the first athlete to run the sub four-minute mile in 1953. The majority of bookmakers have now suspended all bets on who will light the cauldron on Friday night, with only SkyBet and PaddyPower still taking wagers. Bannister is odds on favourite while the Queen is second choice at 6/4, closely followed by Redgrave at marginally a better price of 13/8.
