Nottingham Forest Premier League Odds: Fred fears Leicester-like repeat

We're just over halfway through the Premier League season and Nottingham Forest are still very much in contention among the title favourites.

Ahead of the big game against leaders Liverpool on Tuesday evening, Peter Spencer looks at the Nottingham Forest Premier League Odds and reports Betfred boss Fred Done is fearing Nuno Espirito Santo's side 'doing a Leicester'.

Thousands of Nottingham Forest fans have Betfred in their sights as they aim to cash in on the rise of the Premier League's surprise package.

Sitting pretty up in third on the table ahead of Tuesday night's showdown with runaway leaders Liverpool at the City Ground, Betfred have cut them to 40/1 for the title.

Betfred boss Fred Done has started having nightmares that Forest, inspired by 12-goal Chris Wood who is also 40/1 to be the league's top scorer, could be on the verge of doing a Leicester.

Premier League Odds

It was nine years ago when Leicester beat odds of 5,000/1 to lift the Premier League - and Fred lost a fortune, with fans piling in with fivers and tenners. That included a starstruck Foxes supporter who wrote "and if pigs could fly" on his betting slip.

The fear at Betfred is that history could be repeated, with Forest as big as 1,000/1 to be Premier League champions in September - and 66/1 for a top-six finish.

On top of being shortened for the ultimate prize behind odds-on favourites Liverpool and chasers Arsenal and Manchester City, Forest are now 4/6 for a top-six finish.

Fred said:

"The revival of Forest right back into the upper echelons of football has been remarkable, but sadly for us has caught us cold.

"We have a thousand customers, no doubt the majority Forest fans, who will be filling their pockets if the team continues it's remarkable progress.

"The biggest winner would be a customer who put £500 on at 66/1 for the top six, which would win him £33,500! Most people are on for a couple of quid which at 1,000/1 is still a very healthy return.

"This morning, after Forest's progression in the FA Cup and favourable draw, we are already being asked for the price on a Forest double - ie the Premier League title and FA Cup triumph at Wembley in May - which is 500/1."
