To you bookies’ cows out there…
"Against all odds, little Leicester City are closing in on the Premier League title. The team has 57 points with just 10 games left to play, three ahead of second place Tottenham and six against Arsenal.
One fan, John Pryke, made a speculative bet on Leicester at the start of the season: $28 at 5000-to-1 that his team would win the league, which would net him about $140,000. But even as Leicester are inching closer, Pryke decided he couldn’t take the stress any more. After sportsbook William Hill upped their offer from $22,000 to more than $41,000, he decided to cash out.
According to The Leicester Mercury:
“I want to enjoy watching the team for the rest of the season and I don’t want the thought of the money niggling away spoiling my enjoyment … My wife said the money will be going towards a new kitchen and doing the floors out of our house. My son didn’t want me to cash it in but it’s my decision at the end of the day.”
do you think this guy made the right decision?
