A Gambler's Guide to Dying

About this book

See that feeling that you might have won? Why wouldn't you want that to last for as long as possible. That's best bit!

What are the odds of living an extraordinary life?

This is the story of one boy's granddad who won a fortune betting on the 1966 World Cup and, when diagnosed with cancer, gambled it all on living to see the year 2000. An intergenerational tale of what we live for and what we leave behind.

This edition of A Gambler's Guide to Dying was published to coincide with the run at the Traverse Festival in August 2025.
