Default Re: The Ultimate Gamble

Assuming the gun has 6 chambers,
1 bullet, 1/6 chance of dying, I'd do it for a $500,000.
2 bullets, 1/3 chance of dying, I'd do it for 2 million
3 bullets, 50/50 chance of dying, I'd do it for 5 million
4 bullets, 2/3 chance of dying, I'd do it for 10 mil.
5 bullets, 100 mil.

But that's cuz I'm a lowly 2/4 and 3/6 limit grinder.

And once I win, I'd take it all against Phil Ivey heads-up $100,000/$200,000 stakes (haha, j/k!)

Personally, I wouldn't take the 1 in 6 chance for any amount of money, it just doesn't make sense to me, and I'm willing to bet a lot of the people who say they would for X amount of money couldn't actually pull the trigger at go time.

In light of that, I think this question gets a lot more interesting if you add some other provisions:

If you don't take the bet, the person who's betting you will shoot you once in the abdomen, in this event you will get no money, also, you will know that the bullet in the abdomen causes some chance of death, but do not know what the odds of this happening are.

Now how much money?
