The 5000-1 odds are bandied about all over todays papers and news reports . But which firm actually offered those odds on their pre-season coupon ?
I suspect it may have been LADCROOKS-but its most unlike them to offer TOP ODDS on anything !
I saw a betting slip that showed the BALD ONE offered 2000-1.
So was the amazing odds of 5000-1 generally available ?

And of course Betfair backers only got 1000-1 !
Shrewd minds and all that .

dd....I almost layed them at 30s...............thought theres no way they could win but so wanted them to win I didn't lay them..........I was a very lucky boy
thought man city or arsenal would get their act together............they were top at the time but cant remember how far
Cardifff
I did lay them to a small amount at 3/1 late on .
I could have lost a small fortune because I thought at the end of the day they had no chance . So like you -I have been lucky !

thought it was easy money......I would have layed to lose a grand...........which is big money to me........I would have probably have tried to reduce my loss but which ever way I would have lost a decent amount
The punter that had a score @ 5000/1 and cashed out for £29,000 has got to live with the fact that he threw away another £71,000.
I wonder if he was offered just a half cashout and leave the other half running.

picture of a cash out doing the rounds on facebook. some one had 50p on leicester at 5000/1 he cashes it out for 45p 6 august. must have been badly stuck for 45p!!
Cheap advertising for the next twenty years.
Turnover will be up, and more turnover means more profits.
Every punter will be backing 1000/1 plus for ever. Ka-ching, ka-ching.

Great line in one of the papers today, "It was like winning the Grand National - on a cat !"
Unbiased it would have been worse to have "thrown away " £29,000 if he was a man without much money. Also Leicester have been very lucky in recent games. West Ham game wasn't a penalty. Man U should have had one etc.
OUCH ADGE !
That must have hurt .
But at the time you laid the wager I bet you thought it was like picking a tenner up off the floor ?
It takes a lot of getting back when ten grand is paid out in one go .
It just shows that miracles CAN happen .

adge would have had to have had £10,000 to cover the bet.
Don't believe it.
If true, he's a mug.

If Adge laid Leicester at a thousand then presumably it was part of a book. I would have thought Leicester would have been a good result for him?
It was Laddies. They were in line on the front two (Chelski & Man City) and went best price on the rest.
partly , also laid aston villa , sunderland , Norwich etc etc , Newcastle , everton and so on at 500...won a steady 500 for each of the last ten years....net loss this year is 9500 unfortunately
have won 2300 on the other leagues
first year ever with a net loss....well done Leicester city

My old boss - a Leicester fan had £20 e-way with skybet at 5000-1 - cashed out for £109,000 made the daily star newspaper - as a should he / shouldnt he poll
He must've let it ride for a long time to get that offer.
I know quite a few people who had between a pound and a tenner on at 2000/1 and 5000/1.

Sadblokes were on Radio 2 earlier and said the MAX for any football bet is now 1000/1. They took a small hit (fort them) £3million but lots of free P/.R.
Not sure the exact match Roida - it was around the time of the grand national - he's not a betting person at all although worth a few bob .. bear in mind the each way bit of the bit was already secured so I guess 1/4 odds at 1-1250 guaranteed him the £25,000.
14th april story is printed
The supporter – who does not want to be identified – put £20 on the Foxes at 5000-1 at the start of the season.
He stood to win just over £133,000 if he had let the original bet ride and Claudio Ranieri's men took the title.
But he bottled it and cashed out early – cutting more than £25,000 from his winnings.
The punter almost held their nerve to the end of a dream season.
But the risk of losing out on a six-figure sum was too much for the fan.
must be a typo and it was 20 e/w
which is 133,333
must be 1/3 the odds a place
so ,phastest phingers furst ,what price did he cash out at o ye o sharp mind ?

If he lost £25k out of a possible £133k, then he lost just under 20% so that would mean he got paid at just over 4000/1? The exact odds I don't know.
I'm pretty sure Leicester were 5,000/1 with BETVICKY when I checked the price history of the bet on Oddscheckera couple of months ago.
if you read the link I put up you will see the bookies didn't fare too badly over the course of the season, the big teams losing or drawing on a regular basis, meant accumulator bets were going in the bookies favour most weeks, made up for the payout on Leicester, they rarely lose overall
