What Might Be The Odds...

[janzman]

...I'm not a betting man but I just wonder what odds I could have got back in August that Leicester would be top of the Premiership at Christmas., assuming they hang on another week or so. I suspect they would be pretty good, Any betting aficionados care to speculate.

As a guide, the odds you could have got then for Leicester to actually win the Premiership weren't too bad at all: 2000/1!

I wonder what odds you could have got at the start of the season on Leicester being top at Christmas AND Chelsea being in the relegation zone (as they might well be by the time Santa's done his rounds)?
