From Ally Pally darts to a White Christmas, via Russia 2018
Sebastian Vettel recently admitted that he'd need a 'miracle' to win the 2017 F1 Drivers Championship for Ferrari. Whilst it might not be that dramatic, the 33/1 price you can get on the German winning Ferrari's first drivers crown since 2007 shows that Lewis Hamilton might as well have the champagne firmly on ice.
We've done some digging around our site and found seven things more likely than Vettel overcoming his 59-point deficit. (According to the odds)
Crystal Palace beating Chelsea 2-1 (28/1)
The Eagles have yet to gain a point or even score a goal in the Premier League so far this season. It doesn't get any easier for them when they host the Champions at Selhurst Park tomorrow. Yet there's more chance of a 2-1 scoreline than Vettel clawing his way back.
Liverpool winning the Champions League 2017/18 (18/1)
Every Liverpool fan you talk to will tell you that it's 'Their year', but the bookies are pretty confident that Jurgen Klopp's side will not be lifting the biggest trophy in European football this season. Still, it's more likely than a change at the top of the F1 standings...
Rob Cross winning the PDC World Darts Championship 2018 (33/1)
Rob Cross has never won a PDC Major and you probably had never heard of him 12 months ago unless you were a hardcore Darts fan. But he's just as likely to win the big one at Ally Pally as Vettel is to take his fifth crown.
Kubrat Pulev to knock out Anthony Joshua (16/1)
The stats are pretty definitive for AJ: 19 fights, 19 wins, 19 KOs. He's up against unknown Kubrat Pulev at the Principality Stadium on October 28th, but the bookies have Pulev more likely to knock out Joshua and stun the world.
London to experience a White Christmas (6/1)
Let's be honest, snow in London is as rare as getting the last seat on a packed tube, but you can get 6/1 on London having the white stuff on the ground as you open your presents.
England winning the 2018 World Cup (22/1)
Baddiel and Skinner spoke of 30 years of hurt. It's now 52 and counting. But it's still more likely.
Sunderland finishing in the Top Six of the Championship (22/1)
If you think your team has had a bad start to the season, be grateful you are not a Sunderland fan. Dreaming of promotion before a ball was kicked, Simon Grayson's men are instead in a Championship relegation scrap. But you can still get shorter odds on the unlikeliest of turnarounds than Vettel getting the ultimate upper hand on his rival.
