The Daily Mirror describes it as “the sickest bet in the world.” And that’s an apt description.
Bookies in Taiwan are now setting odds and taking bets on when terminally ill cancer patients will die.
They gather details on a patient’s condition. They visit the hospital. They talk with the family. And they set a line. Before you bet, you can also visit the patient in the hospital.
