Default Re: question for the degenerates!!!

Ehm, this should add some perspective.. to constrast with the post that we daily do stuff that puts us at great risk of dying if you're doing something every day that has a 1-1000 chance of killing you (speeding, crossing street, some sport, whatever) then you'd only live 3 years on average. So this is clearly not true and general real life is quite a bit safer.

I'd prolly take the shot for $100k at 1000:1. Just once then. If you think about it, once you die, your consciousness ends, so there are no regrets or anyway. And it's not like you can escape dying anyway, it's just a matter of delaying it. Now don't get me wrong, by no stretch of the imagination do I want to die, but should it happen, not *that* bad in the grander scheme of things.

I'm not really a degenerate, I've won in poker steadily since I started playing, never really having lost. Only won small amounts though. But a 1000:1 to make my life soooo much easier, I'd take that one up..

For me it would depend on whether it was truly 1/1000 or if Full Tilt were in charge, in which case it's more like 50/50...

I'd shoot the guy and pocket the 100k, otherwise I wouldn't be a true degenerate now would I?

after smoking weed, we've had this conversation many times...

if you're talking a standard revolver w/6 chambers, and 1 bullet, i'll do it for 100k.

no more, no less.

bring the gun and the cash, and i'll do it 2 minutes from now...

If at first you don't succeed, Russian Roulette is not for you.

A better question, is if it was $1 with 100 million chambers, how many times would you play this game(ie. after playing it 50m times, you have $50,000,000, but a 1/50,000,000 chance of getting killed).

The math on this is a little more complicated

"what about 10k chambers?"

Is this an online game run by party poker or live?

I say any person should say no to any number because it's too selfish to your family and friends..in addition, if your family and friends urge you to do this then they value money over your life which is gross
