This novice punter’s first ever bet on Leicester City is on course to land her a sh*t load of money

Having grown tired of paying for lottery tickets with little in the way of a return, this novice sports gambler could well have pulled off a master stroke.

Back in August, Chloe Cope tweeted a couple of bets she'd made, both on Leicester City. The first - a £20 free bet on Leicester City to finish in the top 6 - looks extremely good value at the minute. If table topping Leicester do finish higher than seventh, Chloe will net £440, having backed them at 22/1. But if Claudio Ranieri's men remain on top of the pile, Chloe's other bet will be far more impressive. Having bet £7 at 5000/1 on Leicester to win the Premier League, Chloe will net just over £35,000 if successful. https://twitter.com/chloelouisecope/status/634409780224892929?s=09 Of course, there's clearly quite a way to go this season and plenty can happen. But at this moment in time, Chloe's *first ever* bets look mightily impressive. https://twitter.com/chloelouisecope/status/676667245104377856
