Arduino PT100 AnalogRead reading incorrect numbers

Using Arduino Sensors
1

I'm trying to measure temperature using an PT100 temperature sensor. I've done this using a voltage divider with the sensor and 100 ohms. The problem is that it's reading 100 degrees celsius when it's 21 degrees. When i move the cable connecting the sensor and the board, then the value changes +/- 10 bits. I've put the code and the output below.

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  analogReference(DEFAULT);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println(analogRead(5));
  delay(50);
}

What's your hardware setup?
You can get very good results using a chip designed for that, MAX31865.

2 or 3 100nF caps (0.1uF) and a 400 ohm resistor for PT100 and you're good to go.

Change these two lines to put in your values:

float Reference_Resistor; //Reference Resistor installed on the board.<< 400 for PT100

float RTD_Resistance; //RTD Resistance at 0 Degrees. Please refer to your RTD data sheet. << 100 for PT100

My hardwaresetup is a 100 ohm resistor and the PT100 running on the arduino 5V, like showed below. Is it possible to run it without using any additional chips (only using resistors and the arduino). I don't need it to be very precise. +/- 5 degrees is fine.

5V ---- Sensor --- A5 ---- 100 Ohm ------ Ground
