I don't know to answer the question about Job and do not know why it was not published, or if you deleted it, but Job didn't seem to have a problem with God, at least in the later stages, perhaps his God given faith took him to a different plane of existence and he saw that dying was not so bad. I don't see how you could claim it was a "bet", though. 

I had pneumonia a few months back and for two nights I was not sure if I was going to recover, and, surprisingly so, I was not that concerned - It was not nearly as frightening of an experience as I thought it would be. Not sure if that answers the question, but Job did question God initially, but later repented.
