Daniel Tosh bets big on Thursday Night Football to help sick friend

When a friend helps a friend out by raising money to help pay their medical bills, it probably isn’t the smartest of ideas to take said money raised and bet it on a football game.

Such was the case for comedian Daniel Tosh, who took the money he was raising to help out his buddy Andy Ritchie and bet it on Thursday's Patriots-Dolphins game.

Lucky for both gentlemen involved, the bet paid off. And Ritchie now has the winnings going towards his medical expenses.

The Washington Post reported that the Comedy Central star started raising funds to help out Ritchie, who is suffering from a brain tumor, by auctioning off merchandise from his show, Tosh.
