description: Since the launching of the British National Lottery, 14,000,000 to 1 has became the nation's Holy Grail... the odds representing the chances of an individual winning the Lottery jackpot. This book of bizarre, bets and weird wagers, exposes those gamblers who have staked their life, their wife, or even their wife's life an a bet. Looking at the most ghastly gambles, the luckiest and unluckiest gamblers, Graham Sharpe takes a wry look at risk-takers who have staked everything on the roll of the dice. From Las Vegas, to the bingo hails of Birmingham... with lottery lore, gambling gossip, bookies' banter, cheating chat and hard luck stories this is a wholehearted celebration of the best and worst hands dealt by Lady Luck.
