Leicester City Fan Wins £5,000 from £5 Bet

Leicester City has had a fantastic start to the season after many thought that this could be the end of their run in the Premier League.

Back in the summer the team had just appointed Claudio Ranieri as manager which was widely considered a huge risk considering his terrible performance as head of the Greek national team. Furthermore, Esteban Cambiasso decided against staying at the club.

However, one fan clearly had faith in the team all along and it has paid off after a bet he placed at the start of the season just won him an impressive £5,000. Thanks to the team’s latest win at Everton it means that they will definitely be top of the league over Christmas and the fan who bet on this did so with odds of 1000/1 back in August. Now the fan can be sure of enjoying Christmas and perhaps place some more bets on his team for the second half of the season.
