Long range Froome bet

http://sportsbeta.ladbrokes.com/cycling

Froome to win the Tour 5 or more times at 20-1. Is the bet.

I think it is unlikely but it is bigger than a 5% chance. Long range bets are ok at big odds.

Also consider having £20 on this from an enjoyment perspective over the next few years.

Either Froome dominates the next 4 years or so and you end up with 20x your stake or Quintana/Nibali/Contador improve (TTing, moves up another level, rediscovers 'old' form) and you enjoy a great race. Win win ;)

Wow 20/1 seems rather generous doesn't it? When you consider he is odds on to win it already next year, 20/1 is big. Might have a bite of this, thank you.
