Dying man makes bet on his own life.....

Eight months ago doctors told Jon Matthews, 58, of Milton Keynes, Bucks: "Don't make plans for Christmas."

But he had already bet £100 that he would survive.

He said: "This time last year I rang William Hill and they gave me odds of 50/1."


See how much he won:

Would you consider making a bet like this?
