NOVELTY BETTING: The two month wait is over as TV viewers finally discovered that 10/1 shot Stacey Slater murdered Archie Mitchell in Eastenders to put a huge smile on the bookies faces.
In an interview with betrescue.com, Coral‘s David Steven’s said: “This has been one of the most talked about TV betting events ever, with thousands of bets placed on the outcome and industry turnover of more than £1 million, and although Stacey had been favourite at one stage, there were big gambles on several other characters, including Sean Slater, Tracy the barmaid and Ben Mitchell, all of which proved to be wrong.
Credit to the producers, as this was kept completely secret, and as for the result, bad news for Stacey was good news for the bookies!”
