    Rovell from ESPN said books in England took a MAJOR bath on this, over 8 figures lost, not something like idiots on here think when the public wins a regular season MLB game

    Lesson learned SBR posters. This I why you have to buy your $5 futures when you go to Vegas. Who knows? Maybe BYU or Toledo wins the BCS next year.

    a combination of this team being very underrated, finding their feet big time at the end of last year (7 wins in 9 games), the big guns struggling all year, and a lot of lucky breaks. lost to arsenal 2 times and pool once (only losses) so it wasnt like they dominated the big teams

    Big teams had a down year and the Leicester scouting department deserves unreal props for finding gems especially Mahrez and Kante on the cheap

    EPL teams can compete if they find great young players who weren't discovered yet and a mix of cast off veterans that have a resurgence

    You weren't that far off....West Ham and Stoke have been good this year, and West Ham could get a Champions League spot

    yea it is always worth a punt. Stoke are my favorite team and West Ham put a lot of effort in this year right before their stadium switch. assuming they are gonna get Europa

    Books will cut down the odds and these 5 dollar miracle wagers will be 10 or 20 dollar wagers at 1500-1 odds

    Are any of you guys from U.S.? I am and I've never ever watched or bet on soccer before. But I'm a degenerate sports gambler lol. I was so shocked to hear about this 5000-1 team winning. That is truly unheard of. I mean beyond unheard of. Even like the worst of the worst in NBA the sixers I don't know what they were but they couldn't have been more than what 300-1 maybe 400 -1 at the most. And there was Nooooooo prayer in this world they would win. I can't imagine what the hell had to happen for a 5000-1 team to win a championship. U soccer fans out did any of you bet a dollar or 5 or 10 on it just for the hell of it? I always throw crazy longshot bets out there just for the fun of it. Have never hit one. I'm just amazed at this story. Would love any input on what this teams deal wa . How the hell wqs a team listed at that much of a longshot and able to win. It's literally like sixers against a HEALTHY golden state in a 7 game series. And still I don't think sixers would be 5000-1. But again there would be 0% chance of them winning a game let alone the series. Sorry for the long rant just shocked and at the same time wish I looked at soccer before this happened lol. Jesus. 5 bux won you 25k. Unreal

    how have there been 9 championship nfl clubs in the last 9 years? just off the top of my head I remember giants winning it at least twice in the last 9 years

    also you cant compare a one and done league like the nfl against a year long marathon like the premier league. if the premier league had a similar playoff system to the nfl there would be a lot of winners too


    and attacking my spelling is so hacky, you should be more creative in trying to appear more intelligent than me. also you dont even consider the possibility that there are people on this forum for whom english is a second language
    The scary thing is, you could look these things up to save yourself the embarrassment, but you'd rather look foolish then take 5 minutes and reference it. The NFL has had 9 different champions in the last 10 years is what that was supposed to say, simple typo, but practically the same thing, and it's accurate. NBA has had Warriors, Spurs, Heat, Mavericks, Lakers, Pistons, Celtics, Bulls, and Rockets win the NBA since 1995.

    People as stupid as you serve no purpose to the sustainability or the further advancement of humanity. As far as me not considering the possibility that English was your 2cnd language, I must admit, I figured it must be your 3rd or 4rth language with as bad as you butchered every sentence. My advice to you is learn the language, or stay the #$%^ off of English speaking sites. I dabble in a little Portuguese and Spanish, but I have enough self respect not to try and contribute to Brazilian or Mexican forums with my lack of command of their languages. You can leave knowing this though, you'd look just as stupid in your native language, that's how moronic your opinions are.

    I bet 1.00 on them to win out of sheer luck and timing at 5000-1
