If you had to bet your life on a sports person's performance

Jahangir Khan - Not a bad squash player, from 1981 to 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play. During that time he won 555 matches consecutively, the longest winning streak by any athlete in top-level professional sports as recorded by Guinness World Records.
I wonder how much a 500 game accumulator would have got you for a £1 bet.

assuming odds of 1.25 per match then £1 would have returned around £700k if my maths is right.I wonder how much a 500 game accumulator would have got you for a £1 bet.

Thats a very brave call, he was good but he was also racing at a time when BTCC was probably as competitive as it ever was and packed full of hugely talented drivers, Winklehock, Soper, Hoy, Rouse, Tarquini, Biela....
I know that even if he lost he'd have given his all.Also, who says he is racing in his era? Supertouring cav vs Leon diesel
vs Robb Gravett in an R500 in some form of "30 years of BTCC" battle?!? I would give away my house to see that! Rouse and Gravett in R500s, Soper in a E30 M3, Cleland in the Cav, Biela in the A4, Tarquini in the Alfa and then some of todays drivers in the current spec cars...
I liiked Cleland too, no one could deny he wasnt "committed"...
