The famous actor Tom Hanks stated that before the start of this year's English "Premier" League championship, he placed a bet of 100 pounds on "Leicester City" winning the title, as reported by "The Guardian".
With three rounds left until the championship final, "Leicester City" is leading with 7 points ahead of the second-placed "Tottenham Hotspur" club. If Leicester's team would defeat "Manchester United" in the next round, they would secure the champion's title in advance.
Before the season, the odds for "Leicester City" winning the "Premier" League were offered at 1 to 5000. If T. Hanks is telling the truth, Claudio Ranieri's team's title would enrich the Hollywood celebrity by half a million pounds.
"You know what I did before the season? I placed 100 pounds on 'Leicester City' and I think I did the right thing," said the 59-year-old American actor, known for roles in "Forest Gump," "Green Mile," "Saving Private Ryan," "Captain Phillips," and many other films.
