He made a bet, that he would live to be a hundred years old and won
Mr. Alec Holden of Epsom near London was celebrating his hundredth birthday with Fr. 25 thousand pounds sterling. The bookmaker paid him the sum, with whom Holden before 10 years he made a bet, that he would live to be hundreds. Pan Holden, retired engineer, willingly shares the secret of its longevity: eats porridge every day, chess provides him with dexterity, and besides, it has to, as he said, remember to breathe. Rupert Adams of William Hill's bookmaker, who lost to the anniversary, says, that when such bets began to be taken, probability, that someone will live 100 the years seemed very small. It is different today. – These plants are starting to cost us a fortune – says the bookmaker.
