Ever heard of insane bets?

There has just been a news story in Britain about a man who was told he would be dead in a period of months from cancer and placed a bet that he would survive 25 months from the date of diagnosis (The record survival time for mesothelioma) Having staked 100 pounds at the 50 to 1 odds he managed to get, he collected 5,000 pounds this week, seems to be still active, and the betting company director said he had never been so pleased to pay out on a bet.

wow amazing....

I have never heard of any insane bets and thus am not qualified to participate in this thread.

So why did you?

someone bet him to ;D

Gus bet me that contrex wouldn't come here and make some glib remark.


I win.

pay up gus.

So posting like a dick (like gustavratzenhofer did) is OK, but asking why (like I did) is "glib"?

When I was 'bout knee high to a Pabst bottle, my dad told me, "Don't worry, son, if you get called "glib", it just means that you're riling the inarticulate dummies who haven't got anything else to throw at you."

Don't be so hard on your dad, nobody's perfect and he surely isn't completely to blame.

A couple of boobs

snort



let's see, should I pledge my alligance to gus or contrex?

that's a tough one.


before I decide, I'd like to hear what gus's dad told him when he was knee high to a possum.
