Titanbet Sports UK paying out all bets on Leicester City
15 Mar 2016
Titanbet Sports UK made the decision – which sees them pay out a significant amount to winning customers — after the Foxes beat Newcastle United on Monday night.
Claudio Ranieri’s men were as high as 5000/1 with Titanbet Sports UK to win the Premier League on the opening day of the season.
But they have held top spot since a 3-0 victory over Stoke City at the King Power Stadium on Jan. 23 and had shrunk to 5/4 favorites to take home the title at the time of Titanbet Sports UK’s decision.
Russell Yershon, U.K. sports manager for Titan Bet, spoke of his delight at the decision.
Yershon said: “Leicester's title charge has been the feel-good story of the season and has gained consistent interest from all over the world. As this season has been an unforgettable one, we are seeking to reward our customers with another moment to remember by paying out on such an achievement.”
He continued: “Commendations to Leicester for taking their title fight this far and hopefully they can see the job through in what will be the most remarkable season in the history of the Premier League!”
A year ago to the day the Foxes were rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table and relegation seemed a near-certainty. But the summer appointment of Ranieri in place of Nigel Pearson has proved a shrewd decision.
The Italian has managed to get the best out of the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy who have been integral to the title charge, who have dominated the goal-scoring charts throughout the campaign.
