Leicester miracle a bookie's nightmare

DO YOU KNOW how much you could make if you placed a legal bet in England that Elvis Presley was still alive and the King of Rock 'n' Roll actually was?

Not more than those who placed a wager that Leicester City F.C. would end up as the 2015-16 champions of the Barclays English Premier League – the top division of professional soccer in England.

The annual odds that Elvis will be found alive range from 2,000-1 to 5,000-1.

The odds that Leicester City would win the EPL were set at 5,000-1. The British books took an historic beating.
