Right, I know this can be done as I read in the news that some guy bet he would live till to 90, and he did, and made £50k 
How would I go about doing this, but for something totally different? Is there a website I could do it on?

go into the bookies and talk to them, they'll do it. Doubt you can do it online.

then tough shit!
Which bookies did the guy make his bet with, as to win £50k he either put a massive bet on later in life, or a smaller one when he was much younger...in which case a lot of todays bookies probably werent even open!

Dunno, he had a medical condition or something, it was in the paper not too long ago.
Anyway, the bet I have is near enough a sure thing, and the bets WILL be on. If the odds are 20:1, im putting my life savings on it

Like Chris Kirklands dad and uncle, who both put £100 bets on when he was 11 that Chris would play for England one day. Both won £100,000 (after multiple times of him getting bad iinjuries and only getting on the bench!!)

I think 20/1 Luton is Huge price, even for the place money - there is no way Leeds should be favourite for that league
