A Buckinghamshire man diagnosed with terminal cancer is to collect a second winning payout of £5,000 after betting he would stay alive. (BBC News)I don't really approve of gambling...and I sure as shootin' don't believe in cancer, but the two combined can make a great story.
As the spokesperson from the betting agents points out: "Never in 30 years in the business have I been so pleased to pay a winning client £10,000."
Jon, I hope you make it to next year, and your £100,000 payout.

Brilliant! It's like selling death futures and living forever!
Takes a great attitude and some guts, that's for sure!
Now why didn't I think of this???
I think you need to have a gambling soul...and it's not a rational choice.
There's a great ad in a local credit union: "Las Vegas: a vacation plan, not a retirement plan"
You're back! I thought we'd lost you to the dark side (Twitter).
The Dark Side is actually Facebook.

Nag darling, you only lost me to laziness...and a tendency for the absurd to get downright silly.
Not that this story is absurd. :D
And Az...*poke* back!
Hmm. I guess that dude figured he had nothing to lose eh. Win-win!
