Accumulator Bet

[Willy Nilly]

Not being a betting man I don't know about these things, but a few unlikely events have happened of late, so:

What odds could you have got on day one of the 2015/16 football season for Leicester to win the Premier League, Chelsea not to make a European cup place and Donald Trump to be the Republican Presidential candidate?

Would have been worth 50 quid.

Hard to tell as I don't know anyway to look back at odds, but I reckon it would've been somewhere in the 30,000/1 region if not higher

Well...

Leicester were 5000/1
Donald Trump to be Republican Nomination was matched at 340/1 at the peak
No odds on an outside top 4 finish but i'd think 5/1 is a fair guess.

A £50 bet on that treble would return £511,602,300. Or 10,232,046/1.

Not a lot of bets at all were made at 340/1, looking at volume thee highest odds at which there was a decent chunk of money bet was 170/1 which would still be just over 5,000,000 to 1.

would any bookmaker have taken on the bet and would even be able to afford to pay out?

Maximum payouts are usually around the 1 or 2 million pound mark for Premier League football, depending on the bookie. So your Leicester/Chelsea double would be about the max for a £50 stake.

I'm not sure whether you could even get the treble tbh
