Is this Leicester fan’s 5000/1 bet cash out starting to look wiser now?

What would you have done...

Ben Kenyon

This really divided opinion.

A mystery Leicester fan was believed to be the first punter to cash out on a 5000/1 bet on the Foxes to win the Premier League.

At the time, Claudio Ranieri’s men were charging ahead in the title race with 13 games left, but the 20-year-old decided to cash in his chips.

And now, with Tottenham in with a chance of leapfrogging the Foxes with a win at West Ham, he may be starting to feel very pleased with himself.

The £1 bet could have bagged him £5,000 if Leicester saw it through, but he wasn’t willing to ride it out and opted for a tasty £1,100 instead.

At the time, some JOE readers thought the man was bonkers…
