did someone else lose? that would be tramatic I would think..

also I suggest some of you look at the picture on rotten.com where the guy tried to kill himself and put a pullet into his head and live... that + 100 billion = much much worse then I am now
Seriously Id link it but Id have to look at it..

1 in 1000 maybe? Then you have to hear all the people tell you about how dumb you were if you get the money and the memory would be bad if you lost so idk really

I am genuinely curious what that looks like but I can't understand how anyone can look at those rotten.com pictures.

Yeah I stopped going there quickly after that...
I remember a picture of someone who head was run over by a tank in Iraq and then I stopped looking and sleeping...

fwiw most look horribly fake like if you have never seen anything really graphic in life your mind can sometimes not comprehend its seriousness....

I think that David Sklansky discussed this one time. As I remember it, he said that this was a bet that should not be taken for this reason: say you were offered $1 million for taking a 100-1 shot of dying. Surely nobody would take $100 million in exchange for certain death, so therefore you shouldn't take the chance for the million.

That's faulty reasoning because it does not take into consideration the value from winning the game of roulette, i.e., having the money while living.

Gun Safety Training
2000 Darwin Award Runner-Up
Confirmed True by Darwin

(28 February 2000, Texas) A Houston man earned a succinct lesson in gun safety when he played Russian roulette with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Rashaad, nineteen, was visiting friends when he announced his intention to play the deadly game. He apparently did not realize that a semiautomatic pistol, unlike a revolver, automatically inserts a cartridge into the firing chamber when the gun is cocked. His chance of winning a round of Russian roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.
