Nick Newlife, a gentleman from Oxford (UK) was willing to bet in 2003, when Roger Federer won his first Wimbledon Crown, that Roger would go on to win 7 or more Wimbledon singles titles.
Bookmakers William Hill offered Mr Newlife, the odds of 66/1.
Mr. Newlife bet £1,520.
He died in 2009, but before that, he wrote his will. He willed the entire money to the well known charity OXFAM.
So, Oxfam stand to gain £101,840 from Federer's victory!.
