Punters Finally Give Up On Elvis!

Today is the 28th anniversary of the 'death' of Elvis Presley and bookmakers William Hill can report that wagers have all but dried up from fans betting that Elvis is still alive. Over the years Hills have taken thousands of bets that Elvis would be found alive in all parts of the globe, but in the last year fans have stopped placing bets.

Hills have now lengthened the odds of Elvis being found alive from 100/1 to 1000/1.

"The biggest odds we have ever given was a Elvis related bet, we offered 14 million to one that Elvis will crash land a UFO into Loch Ness hitting the monster. It is perhaps the end of an era, where even his most ardent fans no longer believe that Elvis could have remained hidden for so long." said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.
