    Leicester City: 'Every bookmaker is crying out in pain'
    The betting industry is licking its financial wounds.
    "In the history of betting, certainly since it was legalised in 1961, a [single event] winner with odds of 5,000-1 has never happened," says Simon Clare from the betting firm Coral. "Every bookmaker is crying out in pain.
    "That's a barometer of what Leicester have done and just how amazing this win is."
    Jessica Bridges from rival Ladbrokes agrees. "This is the biggest sporting upset of all time. We've all got a bit of egg on our face." Bookmakers have been cheering Leicester's success, whilst simultaneously putting their hands in their collective pockets. William Hill has paid out more than £20,000 to 39-year-old carpenter, Leigh Herbert.



    Oh aye, the Bookies must be hurting big time. What about all the money they made from people betting on Man City, Utd, Chelsea et al?

    **** off

    Leicester have been a shoe-in for a while so they must've made provisions for such an event.

    They make more every single weekend than they paid out on Monday.

    I've not paid out a single start of season bet on Leicester. I took a **** load on the usual suspects.

    The field book will show what an absolute fortune my company made, doubt I'll see penny one from the slags.
