Now don't be offended if you think this is a bit sick. Simply don't get involved.
Listed below are a number of 'celebrities' and their odds of ceasing breathing during 2011. You have a 'virtual' bank of £1000 and you can place singles, doubles, yankees etc in order to make as much virtual profit as you desire. Make as many, or few, wagers as you wish. Winner will obviously be announced on 1 January 2012. Good luck. My own entry will be posted shortly.

Mandela at 11/4 he's about 112 isn't he? That's got to be a good bet
1/2, Zsa Zsa Gabor, wasn't she released from hospital a couple of months ago so she could home to die, even at short prices she's worth a punt.
Paul Gascoigne, I know he is speculative but at 12/1, he's just too big to leave out
Peter O'Sullivan is 93 years old in March, 4/1 looks generous to me.
I WEOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE LAY TO MY BETS
The Queen Elizabeth 11, this cosseted old bird will be around for years. When you live on the best food and drink, when the country employs people to make your food and do every other bodily function for you, its my belief that your hardly going to wear yourself out are you? In 2016 she will surpass Victoria's record of 64 years on the throne I'd bet1 my last dollar she makes that. At 6/1 for her to snuff it she'd have to be a lay in my book.

Gazza is only 43, that would be beyond tragic GT.
i know slippy, but inside.. I have him sadly as an 11/2 shot...so the value is there...
A massive 49 entries so far, it's gonna be some spectacle seeing Zsa Zsa, Maggie and old Abdelbaset charging down to the first fence.

Anyone croaking before 1/1/2011 WILL be regarded as having come under orders.
Obviously only for bets placed before breathing ceased.

Surprised to see no price for cancer sufferer Danny Baker.....or is he too well liked to be included with the likes of Thatcher?
i hope non of the runners in this large field get strangled bt the tapes
Just for clarification purposes, what happens if the person who supplies the winning entry to this competition kicks the bucket in the next year who gets the prize?
OK acey, duly noted. And yours, Poppydog. 51 runners so far.
Couldn't put Danny Baker in there (although I didn't actually think of him anyway). The man has provided the antidote to the tired format of the football phone-in for years, and despite him being a Millwall fan I wish him nothing but good fortune.
Should the winning entrant himself actually croak (how would we know?) then the Peter Finch rule applies.

Danny Baker died about 15 years ago or at least his career did. Very much on the "Rinse and Repeat" cycle now, a bit sad really.
Baracouda30,
I'd stipulate Wikipedia to confirm facts beforehand.
We don't want any Lazarus-related disputes and Stewards Enquiries,
which are bound to happen!

So no David Ashforth either, seems a very selective list...easy to be "outrageous" about people you don't know or like.
Yes, it is a selective list, as I had to price up each person.
Pricing up the six billion people on the planet was a bit too much, even for someone like me with time on their hands.

If all mine lose, can I get my money back if they're all on I'm A Celebrity? That would be an awesome show!
A very difficult one GT. Perhaps I would make it Cheltenham Festival week.
Happy to Lay Megrahi @4/9 for 2011 , considering he would have been 1/6 for 2010 and 1/12 in 2009.
Only 120 minutes until the meed-ya break news that Gazza has drunk himself to death.
It's cost me 8 bottles of Smirnoff, but at 12/1 what are you gonna do ?

Bobby Farrell, front man of the 1970s disco group Boney M, has died at the age of 61, his agent has announced.
The singer was found dead in a hotel room in St Petersburg, Russia, where he had been performing, John Seine said.
Farrell, he continued, had complained of breathing problems before and after a show on Wednesday. The cause of his death has yet to be established.
Farrell, the only male member of the popular four-piece, had been due to fly to Rome for a TV show on Friday.
Born Alfonso Farrell in Aruba, the singer left his home on the Caribbean island at 15 to work as a sailor.
He then travelled to Norway and Germany to pursue a career as a DJ.
In 1974 he was chosen to front Boney M, which was put together by German singer and songwriter Frank Farian.

manxy, wil need adjudication from baracouda if your bet has been accepted..it probably will be as the big field had several false starts.
In fact the delay was caused as the starter was trying to get the veteran's field organised to turn round and come in again when one difficult runner said 'This Lady Is not For Turning'....
