However, one punter chickened out of backing the club for league glory just one game into the season according to the Press Association this afternoon.
The unlucky Ladbrokes customer backed the club at odds of 5,000/1 to win the title, and decided 50p would be a princely sum to lay on Claudio Ranieri's team.
It was a low-risk strategy but with a possible high-end payout; it just made proper betting sense
If he had stuck with the bet he could now be eyeing up a £2,500 pay out, but unfortunately, he got cold feet after day one of the season, and Leicester's 4-2 win against Sunderland and cashed out, to the tune of, wait for it, 95p

We hope he spent his winning wisely, on a Magnum or at least something tasty that is worth much less than the possible £2.5k he or she was in for.
Ladbrokes claim the highest pay-out in England so far is around £72,000 from a £50 bet last month.Explore more on these topics:
