Danny Brooks a Household Name After 5000/1 Bet Backing Leicester City Pays Out

When you place a bet on your favourite football team to win the Premier League, you certainly don’t expect to go down in history for it, especially if said team has never won, and barely come close to winning the title for all of forever.
