The bookies price it like that because they have zero expectation of them winning the league. If you are familiar with the EPL you would understand why they thought like this. The reason such crazy odds are offered is because otherwise few people would place bets on it. Now next season when the bottom quarter of the table are all at odds of 250&#x2F;1 a lot of fans will think &quot;remember Leicester last season” and may bet when they otherwise would not have or may bet more, without any real expectation of winning.<p>The odds offered by bookies ate in part based on statistics, probability and business reasons.
