On Monday, Leicester City won the Premier League (English Soccer) Leicester City’s preseason odds to win Premier League: 5000 to 1 against! This is the BIGGEST sports betting underdog EVER record to win any single event. Said another way: the most unlikely single sporting outcome ever. To add some perspective: the 1999 Rams (huge longshots with backup Kurt Warner) were “only” 300/1 against winning that year’s Super Bowl. In comparison: European bookmaker William Hill is currently offering the same 5000 to 1 odds on “Elvis Presley being found alive.” Darren Rovell reports that the three largest bookmakers in England collectively lost $11.4 million on Leicester City's historic upset.

This was not a single event. Leicester played 36 matches.
Maybe the biggest payoff on a single sporting wager.
Seeing a new PreGame website (projected launch date October 2014) would probably approach similar odds.
Bear in mind that this is the most bet on league in the world. The turnover on the PL dwarfs all of Football, Basketball, Basball etc combined. And a 5000/1 shot has won it. The Browns going 16-0 for the next 5 seasons straight is about as likely as this. This is truly the biggest upset there ever has, or ever will be in Gamblings history or future
Don't Forget About All The "Tony Soprano" Envelopes Being Passed Around
Stuff like this doesn't happen without those little tan envelopes
What would be the biggest upset that's happened in North American Soil or ICE ?
The one that sticks out is when a Bunch of college kids upset the Might Red Machine...
1980 USA hockey team Lake Placid wins the Gold..True Miracle.
5000/1 that's just unbelievable. Who bets on a 5000/1 shot?
Don't forget Chaminade beating #1 Virginia with Ralph Sampson.
I recall reading that USA Hockey was only about 4/1 vs. Russians ... does anybody have a link to verify?
