It’s no secret that punters love risk. Ladbrokes offers a humorous take on this, and paints a picture of Bucky,” the best shark diver in the business”, who loved adrenaline rushes so much, that he would wrap himself with sausages before diving in with the big, extremely dangerous fish. He occasionally even casually cut himself out of the belly of a shark once. Bad luck finally caught up with him, and after diving into the ocean full of great whites wearing a shark costume, he never resurfaced. If only he had heard of Ladbrokes sooner.
