  You Bet Your Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Bet Your Life was an American radio and television quiz show.
Early seasons were sponsored by Plymouth automobiles, with advertisements for their vehicles (most notably the De Soto) incorporated into the opening credits and the show itself.
The results were so unsatisfactory that most of the stations who initially bought it soon either stopped showing it entirely or moved it to a time slot in the middle of the night, and it was cancelled after one season.

 They Bet on Your Life
Life settlements are an offshoot of viatical settlements, which were created in the 1980s to buy life-insurance policies from terminally ill AIDS patients.
Doug Head, executive director of the Viatical and Life Settlement Association, in Orlando, says a typical life settlement yields about three times the policy's cash value, which is the amount the policyholder would get if he simply cashed it in.
Although a life-insurance death benefit is tax-free, a life settlement is taxable to the extent that it exceeds the total premiums you've paid on the policy.
