There are many ways to react to the news the bookmakers have made you favourites to win the Premier League. Some managers might enquire as to what took them so long. Others might simply ignore it. Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, fresh from his side's remarkable 3-1 win over Manchester City, just laughed.
"The bookmakers?" he chuckled. "I don't believe the bookmakers. The bookmakers said at the beginning of the season, Ranieri will be sacked first!"
He had a point. While bookmakers need to be right more than they are wrong in order to avoid swiftly becoming ex-bookmakers, they certainly don't have a 100 percent strike rate.
