Talk about a betting man.
A terminally ill British man has collected nearly $10,000 after betting he could beat the odds and stay alive, it is reported.
According to the U.K.'s Sun newspaper, Jon Matthews, 58, bet that he could beat out the cancer doctors say usually kills within months.
It started in 2006 when doctors in Middlesex told him he had Mesothelioma - a type of cancer linked to asbestos.
