TWO nervous Leicester fans cashed out 5000-1 title bets just hours before their side failed to win the title at Manchester United yesterday but they should have held on 24 hours.
The fans were both in line for £5000 from their £1 wagers placed at the start of the season but took early settlements of £4381.
Ladbrokes still have 22 fans holding bets at 5000-1 going into tonight's Chelsea v Spurs game with £100k (from £20) the biggest potential return. If Spurs don't win it's all over and I reckon Chelsea will take at least a point to start the party for their ex-manager Claudio Ranieri.
One fan determined to see her bet through to the end is student Karishma Kapoor, 20, who has rejected more than £9000 for her £2 stake.
She said: “I'm not nervous at all. I'm buzzing for the game and Chelsea will definitely do us a favour.”
Leicester have been cut to 1-25 with Ladbrokes to complete their Premier League fairytale with Spurs 16-1. Leicester are 1-2 to be crowned champions tonight which is the price for Chelsea to win or draw.
Spurs haven't in at the Bridge since 1990 and there is real rivalry between the teams. Mauricio Pochettino will be minus Dele Alli while Chelsea have keeper Thibaut Courtois banned and doubts about John Terry and Gary Cahill are doubts.
I'm not sure Spurs should be 8-5 favourites with the Blues 9-5 but I fancy the draw at 9-5 with Ladbrokes.
It should be an exciting game with both teams scoring. Harry Kane is 13-10 at bet365 to net while for Chelsea it might be worth looking at Pedro who scored at Bournemouth last week. He is 10-3 at Coral.
With the champagne still on ice Leicester have already been installed at 80-1 to win the Champions League (surely not) next term and 33-1 to successfully defend their Premier League crown.

80-1 is terrible odds to win the Champions League, i’d want AT LEAST odds of around 1000-1 for me to part with my money…..as a Spurs fan i think 1/2 is a steal for them to be crowned champions tonight, it IS going to happen
Chelsea vs Spurs
Are Chelsea good enoughto start a Leicester party. Spurs are a class team this year I think and will miss alli, but Chelsea without terry, Cahill and courtois. I’m thinking Spurs may spoil the party tonight.
Maybe corners are the way to go with Spurs who love them and will be chasing the game.
I’m no corner King so I would love dt or flarbers opinion they seem to be the corner kings, along with others.
Spurs -2 corners 15/8 wh 1pt
Gl All
i’m personally backing a 2-1 win to spurs but also doing over 4.5 cards
Youre flying it! Hope it stays like this.
Really thought Chelsea would get something from this but Spurs have been excellent. Where was this last week against WBA when they let a load of us down.
