Things that have approx. the same odds as Leicester city winning EPL

Question

-Flipping a coin on heads 12 times in a row and then rolling a pair of dice and them not coming up 2,3,4,or 12

-Getting dealt 4 of a kind in 5 card stud, then asking and finding out the dealer who you've never met is not allergic to pollen

-Scalabrine voting for Trump, then posting in General discussion he's seen the error of his ways, then ilsp2003 and dl36 coming into that thread and professing the same

Things that were more likely than preseason odds of Leicester winning:

-Elvis surfacing alive and well...2000 to 1

-Obama announcing the moon landing was fake...500 to 1

The Cleveland Browns to win the Super Bowl are being offered at 200:1

That is insane.

That tells you the parity in the NFL is incredibly closer than the EPL.

Also tells you what an unbelievable feat Leicester accomplished.

[/Quote]And preseason 76ers were ~500/1 to win the NBA title...so the odds of Leicaster accomplishing what they did was considered roughly 10x more unlikely then that...insane.  Books in that city definitely got rocked, I&#x27;m sure a bunch of drunk guys threw a $5 or 10 on that for shiits n giggles and now cash a nice 25K-50K.

american sports besides college never have odds over 200 to 1 in the big 4 it seems. Not sure how Leicester shoudlve been 5000 to 1. What is that equivalent too in college bball....a team like Depaul winning the NCAA tourney? JK Rowling making a billion on harry potter writing novels about fa ggy wizards in a coffeeshop homeless?

It was about the same as walking up to a single zero roulette wheel and picking the correct color twice in a row, then picking the number that hits twice in a row

[/Quote]Wyoming, Central Mich, Pepperdine and a slew of others are 2000/1 right now.  I&#x27;d say a bottom feeder DIII team winning it all (which isn&#x27;t evne possible) would be 5000/1
