Re: Make your own odds russian roulette?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Honestly...standard gun. 1 in 6 for 10 mill. [/ QUOTE ] at first i thought it would be a high number for myself. but now that i think about it i would definitely do it with 6 chambers. for me, i really don't see how it couldn't be the right decision. Also, i think i am happier than the average joe about life in general. [/ QUOTE ] Do some EV calcs on this, at least in your head before you say something that dumb dying in your 20s>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>>>>wor se than the amount of joy you would get out of 10 mill for 60 years [/ QUOTE ] i did and i very much disagree with your position. different people have different tastes, preferences, and utility curves.your statement is probably true for you but its not at all the case for me edit: the wording of the OP suggests you are getting paid 10 million dollars to pull the trigger. at least thats how i interpreted it. which is a pretty important factor to me. if 10 million was the prize for not getting shot then i might have to up it into the neighborhood of 8 chambers
