It wont be long until someone does another 'Leicester'

I doubt that Brentford would be 5k/1.

Just checked; PP are offering 500/1, if you're tempted! No one is on longer odds than that, not even Luton, Burnley or the Blades.

The bookies took a hit. They’ll never offer the same odds.

Odds on football in general are really conservative these days.

I wonder how big a hit they actually took, though. How many non Foxes fans would have stuck a tenner on them that August? Or even Leicester fans, if they're honest. Yes; the returns were huge for the outlay. But I'm guessing that PP would take a bigger overall hit if/when the favourite wins the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Agreed, though; they'll never offer 5k/1 again. Once bitten etc etc.

People bet on loads of silly stuff. I think i read the longest odds ever were for Haley’s Comet landing on the Loch Ness Monster.

A funny little bet. One that’d never be recouped as we’d all be dead.

What was strange for me was how much energy every one ogmf their players had that season. The next season when they all stopped wearing those white bandages, they all returned to being Plodder. Strange that!!

Brentford is actually a good shout for a top 4 rise soon.

I heard Simon Clare from Corals doing a little piece on novelty bets once and he said they take multiple bets every year on the world ending before a specified date.

Only 2 clubs have won the Premier League and got relegated and that was Blackburn and Leicester.

Leicester are unique that they won League 1, Championship and Premier League all within 7 years. They just now need to win League 2 to complete the full English quadruple.

I bet they don’t have maximum bets on those type of novelty bets.

I don’t think there will ever be another Leicester.

Girona in La Liga also another 'smaller' team having a super successful year so far.

Great transfer window for any middle of the pack team and it can happen.
