Gone from 5000/1 to 20/1 apparently. Still amazing price after 17 games-nearly half of the season but they are still considered outsiders to keep it going.

What price were Blackburn at the start of their winning season?

By:

Darlo Bantam When: 19 Dec 15 17:00

Guaranteed to be two wins ahead of third place on Christmas Day now.

By:

Coachbuster When: 19 Dec 15 17:01

Ipswich in 1962 - yes - how did i not think of that one coming from the town . Sir Alf and all that

They were rank outsiders - and i think the worst performing title defenders since

By:

Coachbuster When: 19 Dec 15 17:03

sagefrom , didn't Blackburn start the season with Jack Walkers new money buying some star players ? -not sure on that . They still would have beena good price mind with MU as strong favourites i'm guessing .

By:

Darlo Bantam When: 19 Dec 15 17:05

Blackburn were the previous year's runners-up and 4th the year before that. Were far from surprise winners.

But Blackburn spent a lot of cash and were one of the favourites from the beginning of the season to win the league. Not quite the same.

1000/1. Nice.

Incredible, when it comes to season long bets like this, most people would have had Leicester bottom by Christmas never mind top

First PL team ever to be bottom of the league one Christmas and top of the league the next.

Weren't they the first team ever to avoid relegation having been bottom at Christmas? Hence the second part is redundant anyway.

By:

tobermory When: 19 Dec 15 18:00

i saw the other day that Leicester played a league match with Yeovil in April 2014 and 20 months later Leicester were top of Premier League and Yeovil bottom of League 2

By:

tobermory When: 19 Dec 15 18:01

No , West Brom had been and also someone else i think

And of course loads more if you go back before 1992

bottom at Christmas and stayed up i mean

By:

Darlo Bantam When: 19 Dec 15 18:02

Sorry, meant PL. As in the original post.

By:

Darlo Bantam When: 19 Dec 15 18:03

Yeah, West Brom 2005 and Sunderland the year before Leicester, the only other sides.

By:

ffaith When: 19 Dec 15 18:28

Being a Leicester supporter, player atm must be like being on the most natural high ever. Higher than any drug could take you. Top of the league, top goalscorers, playing attacking football and,for the older vintage, always looking forward to motd.

Go Leicester(except of course when they are playing my lot) go and finish the job.

By:

Darlo Bantam When: 19 Dec 15 18:34

A Leicester fan on 606 now, must have been crying for five minutes nearly he's that happy.

Next two games away at Pool and home to Manc. 6 points there me thinks.

By:

sofaking When: 19 Dec 15 18:48

And Pool are 1.78 to win that game. Absolutely bizarre odds. Pool are rubbish at Anfield.

mle4me When: 19 Dec 15 19:14

I am a Leicester fan ! Just absolutely unbelievable at what is happening ! Always been a yo-yo club,had a bit of success under O'neill . Stuck in the Championship for a few years and even went down to league 1 for a season ffs. Fantastic when got promotion a couple of seasons ago. The Owner was quoted as saying want to be a top 5 club within 3 seasons, I thought don't say things like that because it sounds embarrassing, especially when we was losing week in week out last season. Then the great escape happened and we kept winning and amazingly stayed up. And now we have just carried on where we left off last season.We keep getting results so it might just be possible .

2.12 to finish Top 4

By:

Hils have reported that if Leicester win the Premiership they do not have the money to pay out their winning clients....

By:

tobermory When: 19 Dec 15 20:05

a few Leicester fans that bet a fiver on them

By:

mafeking When: 19 Dec 15 22:11

won 18 of the last 26 games. just incredible. alright mahrez and vardy are scoring for fun but what's happened to that shocking defence that gave away joke goals game after game ? staggering they've only lost 1 game

Must be great being a Leicester fan at the moment, lifelong supporters must be in heaven with all this vile money about.

Readings 106 team that finished 8th in epl was as good as it got for me, well apart from the simod cup final.
