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.
Resorted to betting instead of the lottery 😋 2 bets I have to wait AGES for and 2 for this weekend #LCFC @LCFC pic.twitter.com/JRpRhic8lw

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.
Being all called sorts of things that I haven't a clue what they mean 😂 those 2 bets were my first ever bets!! #lcfc #premierleague
