Leicester City winning the English Premier League in 2016. Basically a 38 game upset. 5000/1 betting odds at the start of the season

This is the answer because of the consistency of it. Most anyone can win on a given day, but to win an entire league like the EPL is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s going to be this for some time. Just an unreal season. Almost everything else is a one game upset. Those are not uncommon. Winning a league that the same few teams dominate every year is really impressive.
