Gambling Your Life

[mondatoo]

Roulette for 2 mill right now.

If I was 55+ and busto probably dice for the same

Doubt I'd flip unless I had a terminal disease or summat.

In answer to my earlier post didn't you say you would give up 10m if you had it to live if you were going to die. That to me means you value your life and would rather be alive with no money so why take the risk for 2m?

Not having a go BTW, I just think its a great question and was trying to see how people viewed the opposing situation. Unfortunatly only you responded because my question didn't have any "gamble".

I had the exact same thought to Woodsey about that, imagine everyone would do the same, slightly strange not to imo.

My point is when the question is put this way I guess almost everyone would say they would give up the cash. This means life is more important than leaving all the money to family, friends, charity whatever. But take a risk on your life for any amount of money and you are risking not being there for those same family and friends. Seems odd to me.

It's not the same though, the same would be if your net worth was 10million would you give it all up for

x evens chance of surviving ...

Doesn't look like anyone's willing to flip for their life. Pretty interesting to see that in order to answer the flip, you have to theoretically value your own life in a lump sum. Pretty difficult from a psychological perspective, exactly how much your life is worth.

When we get to 5-1, we're not directly valuing our own life, because obviously we're mathematically more likely to survive but also psychologically we start to build an air of invincibility. Take the dice situation and change it to russian roulette, and all of a sudden things get a bit more real, and I think we increase the value.

Honestly though, the roulette wheel situation I do for £500k no problem.

This might seem bizarre, but my friends and I always put these propositions to each other. Sometimes they're a little less classy (how much would you take to be the cum sponge for ten guys etc.) but often find them coming to life and death situations. A pretty sick one is situations in which you would take another person's life instead of your own. 5-1 on winning money or watching your friend get killed. Lots of variables such as manner of death, what % you and your friend split etc. Pretty fun way of realising how empathetic you are if you can be honest with yourself.

Someone in the office was retelling the story of the man who won a car after getting 'Mini' tattooed on his penis:

The conversation went on, about how he didn't know he'd win, but how much would it take for you to have 'Mini' (or other word or phrase) on a certain part of your body?  One bloke in the office said he'd have any word tattooed on his penis for £1K.  We're having a whip round now...

I had a word tattooed on my penis...didn't get anything though...stupid drunken dares.

Feel a bit of a twat, especially as they could have said Titin and it would have hurt less.

It says; "Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine" now

There's a fun little paradox here if we take a recent article in the Guardian regarding the plans to increase the national speed limit. If your intention is to drive more quickly than the speed limit allows in your new car, then your penis isn't big enough for said tattoo which earns you said car.

I'd need a very accurate tattooist.
