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.

Do some EV calcs on this, at least in your head before you say something that dumb

dying in your 20s>>>>>>>>>>>&gt ;>>>>>>>>>>>wor se than the amount of joy you would get out of 10 mill for 60 years

[/ QUOTE ]

If you die in your 20s it's just a bang and then nothing (expecting no afterlife). You won't suffer or know how happy you would've been if you'd lived another 60 years.

According to this logic it would be correct to take any odds for that 10 mill.

assuming you have no friends, no family, no gf, no prospects, dreams, etc?

cmon, get real

Money can't buy happiness. This might sound like a cliche but I think it's true. If you survive and get rich and it doesn't solve your problems you are going to end up just as unhappy as before. Plus you have to live with that you could've killed yourself for money that doesn't make you feel better about your life.

Just angle the gun so the bullet curves along your skull... DUH!

Money buys security which allows you to do the things you want to with your time instead of working a dead-end job (or two) providing for a family. This leads to happiness.

I have no kids and no wife, so my number should be a lot lower than people in that situation.

for $10m, I would do it 100-1. Probably even 50-1.

worst case is you die quickly and painlessly and find out what the afterlife is all about

99% or 98% of the time you party like a rockstar for the rest of your life, then find out

[Claunchy]

mecca, et al.,

I know this forum is littered with 18 year old poker nerds who WAY overvalue money, but seriously, SIX? You're either clinically depressed or just retarded.

I'd say worst case is either a not so quick painful death or being a vegetable for the rest of you life.

Also, do you get the money no matter what? Will that [censored] to your family or something just in case. ^_^

Yes if your life is okay money might may you happier but if your life sucks money won't solve the problems (Unless the problems are lack of roof over the head, food etc obviously).

10 mil?

1/8 will do
