Leicester City: Fan hopes to win £25,000 after 5,000-1 bet - BBC Sport

[Fenster]

Was just gonna say he can guarantee making a few grand now but the article said he's letting it ride. Non gamblers never understand

[smashup]

So @Fenster would you take the £3200 the bookies have offered him now or hang it out for the £25,000...?


Not a gambling man but off a £5 stake he's gotta go for the £25,000 surely, I definitely would.

[Fenster]

No I'd let the bet ride but back the other few likely winners to guarantee a big win.

[Mark TKO]

I'm surprised they were as low as 5,000 to 1

I'd defo let it ride

I can't see their luck holding out with injuries for another 14/15 games. I just can't ! But the season as a whole I'd say the best teams have been them and Spurs and I hope one of them does it - the others have just been too inconsistent and don't deserve it

Tell you what though even if Leicester did it I wouldn't bet against them going down next year

Exactly that! fuck taking the 3 grand , the bookies can go fuck themselves , he's got an opportunity to guarantee making more than that just by backing a couple of others.
Bookies are wankers though. Leicester were 5000-1 at the start of the season, but on Bet 365 , the bottom 3 (Villa, Norwich & Sunderland) are 4500-1 to win it now! Villa would need to win every game from now on , and nobody else would be able to finish on more than 55 points (Leicester are on 53 now!)
So Villa have got a better chance now than Leicester had at the start of the season! you couldn't make it up! sorry for the rant.

@Silkeyjoe must be wetting himself. I love it when the bookies suffer.

Leicester have a very easy run compared to the others with no cup competitions to distract them as well. Hope they pull it off.
