Leicester City’s lead at the top of the Premier League could be cut to five points tomorrow if Tottenham Hotspur win at Stoke City. However, their last gasp draw against West Ham could be just enough to secure the title.
If they do, bookies could take a big hit. The Foxes started the season at 5,000-1 outsiders. Ladbrokes stand to lose £3m, with 50 customers gambling on Leicester befor the season started, and William Hill £2m hit. The figure is likely to exceed £10m across the betting industry.
