Doyle Brunson put his Life on the Line

This is a quite amusing story that began when Doyle Brunson wrote the following on his blog: "Some clown who produces the, “Blend Celebrity Bucket List”, put the 100 most likely celebs to die in 2009. Guess who he had at #16? That’s right, me. To start with, I don’t consider myself a celebrity, so I don’t qualify. But, if I did, I sure don’t have any plans for kicking the bucket anytime soon and surely not in 2009. He should check on my family genes, both sides lived up into their 90’s. He should talk to my doctor and get my blood pressure results, my 140 reading on my cholesterol and the raves my cardiologist gives me on my EKG’s." and continued "Anyway, he said it was a 10% chance I would die. I would like to lay 10-1 for any amount if anybody knows this joker."

It turns out that the "clown", as Brunson called him, was writer Mack Rowden and he said Doyle Brunson would probably die from obesity. Brunson received some phone calls and now the bet is on. Rowden agreed to have a $1000 bet, $10,000 would be paid if Brunson actually dies, and all the winnings would go to the American Cancer Society.

To me, this is quite a macabre bet as Brunson is gambling with his life. He must be quite confident of his health status and it would be a shame to lose such an accomplished player as him.

Doyle is off to a good start, Jan is almost over
looks like this Mack Rowden is more foolish then the fact he is making a living off of predicting when people are gonna die.... shame on you Mack Rowden, get a real job and support the economy.
