Betting gone wrong...
I made this!
Not sure if this sort of thing is appropriate for here, but i did make it.
There are hundreds of celebrities listed and all you have to do is bet on the next one to die. If you win, you win a share of the prize pot (currently over $100) with whoever picked the same celeb. If no one else picked the same as you, you win the lot.
Bets cost $2 and half the bet goes straight into the prize pot.
You even get a free lighter with your first bet (uk only, while stocks last).

I used to run a bookies and we wouldn't take bets on death dates
It was an ethical decision by the owners rather than a matter of law, I was informed.
Edit: Though they were a bunch of money-grabbing cunts with very little ethics, so maybe they were telling us a load of bollocks to make us feel like we wern't working for Satan himself.
