Nowhere near the greatest upset, just that some bookies gave a crazy price. With respect, that is rubbish. Nothing approaches this upset. All the 'form' was on the table in front of everyone's eyes. It was over a full football season. It was at the top level. There has been nothing like it in England (or the rest of the world as far as I know) - ever. If Norwich survive they may well be 5,000/1 next season. Will you be lumping on them thinking that is a crazy price? They are 7 points clear, it is possible they may win the title by 10 points or feasibly even 13 points. If they were to win by that distance, you can take your 5,000 and multiply that by several fold to get the true odds. |

the glory might not be over yet. As well as the football and Selby winning the snooker, the basketball team are in their finals and the rugby club are in their play-off finals.

During the rugby world cup when Japan beat SA that seemed to me to be the biggest sporting upset ever.
Now, within the same sporting season we have this. Nothing else even comes close. Funny though how the media still has to roll out Buster Douglas, Boris Becker, Wimbledon, Ben Curtis, Todd Hamilton, Goran Ivanisevic et al. 5000/1. Never before and never again in my lifetime. |

This is equivalent to a non-league team winning the FA Cup.

had an email off an old ex this morning, she travelled all the way from Dubai yesterday to go to the match at Chelsea last night as she has supported Leicester all her life. Her husband dropped dead in February with a heart attack at the Liverpool game, that is what you call terrible luck.

5000/1 .......I wonder what odds a chit-chat select eleven would be in winning the league.

This is about half the odds a lot of bookies were offering about Chit Chat's very own IAN MOHAMMED taking in Syrian refugees. The bookies were completely safe though with that bet. No pay outs, nor cash outs on the horizon. And that's a fact. |

I'm watching it on East Midlands News right now. The majority of fans being shown or interviewed are Asian.

Jack Hacksaw is correct ,
If i was offered 20,000 /1 at the start of the season i wouldn't have even bet a quid |

it's the sort of bet a woman in Leicester might have done and you would be reminstrating with her that she would be better off throwing down the drain - take my advice type of thing

Channel 4 news has, sadly inevitably, managed to turn this boys own story of a miracle win at football into a load of preaching Channel 4 news crap about "diversity"

Well this woman backed Leicester, Coachbuster, but at only 50/1 for small stakes. It is on Betfair as a matter of record so I can prove it. I even backed them again at 17/2 but on a betfred terminal as my computer was not working. I still have the receipt.
I have not heard anyone on chit chat mentioning that they have backed them, so does this mean a old woman is better than all of the chit chat men at this football betting lark  |

I'd have bet on them too if I'd known they have the ghost of Richard the Third and the blessings of a Thai Monk helping them out! I've just at a red Thai curry myself, see if the magic will rub off.

Ha Ha Annie , you did well there for sure not getting caught up with all the hype of the big teams .
Don't throw any of your money away though by betting on Norwich ,Burnley or Sunderland etc at 5000/1 for the new season  |

My only regret, as is usual with gamblers, is not putting more on.
This was mainly because I had left my ex boyfriend and as such was not watching MOTD as I do not have a tv. So I did not think I would watch enough football to make a decent judgement. We also saw whole matches in pubs etc and he used to have bt sports and sky. I have tried watching football in a pub on my own but I do not feel comfortable although everyone is usually nice to me. I think this has taught me to get a tv  |

26 Apr 16 16:59 Fred Rescue - sponsor stadiums are another awful part of the game. You say that, but I imagine the owners of the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai would sell the naming rights off fairly cheaply. |
