I thought some bookies might be brave enough to stick with the bigger odds, but looking around today they are all following Ladbrokes and not offering more than 1000/1 on anything in football. They have obviously all decided that they can't run the risk of another Leicester City.

looks like we should all bleed dry the independent bookies then if the big companies are running scared...Scaredy cats

Bookies are like that been a bad year for them they lost between 60-100 million on the Cheltenham festival then leicester

They panicked yesterday when people were putting money on a 4 horse accumalator within hours you couldnt do acca's on those specific horses it happens least once a month

A good shot of the bus parade. Photographer had a great vantage point!

Greece were a 150/1 shot for the 2004 Euros. A big surprise, but not really comparable to Leicester coming home at 5000/1.

I don't know the criteria on the basis of which these probabilities are calculated.

"Leicester City have today agreed with Jamie Vardy to extend his contract with the Premier League champions for a further 4 years. Both parties hope that this announcement will end speculation regarding Jamie’s future and confirm his long term commitment to Leicester City FC."

Club statement 23/06/16.

Good news for Leicester, although Vardy's former club Fleetwood miss out on a big cash sum due to a sell-on clause in his contract.

Dilly ding, dilly fucking dong!

I fully confess that I was one of the doubters when Claudio first arrived. I couldn't believe we got rid of Nigel Pearson after the 2014/15 end of season heroics. Now I'm delighted with the news that Claudio has signed a new contract, a 4 year deal to 2020.

As a new season dawns there's just time to recall again last season's amazing achievement by Leicester City.
