Strange but true . . .

A charity could stand to gain more than £300,000 from a series of sporting bets left to it in a will.
Oxfam supporter Nicholas Newlife died at the age of 69 a year ago, leaving his entire estate - including a set of outstanding bets - to the charity.
Now they could benefit from more than a third of a million pounds if the bets are successful, including a £100,000 payout if Roger Federer wins Wimbledon this year.
