I was listening to an interview with Durrrr, he said the reason he has gone on to play 500/1000 is because of his dealing with risk/reward.

Basically when he was playing 25/50 or even 5/10 he would take shots against players if he thought he had a massive edge. For example there was a fish playing 200/400 and his roll was only 150-200k he would take a shot. Wheras other players would be too scared too as they were just proper grinders.

He then said if he was giving 2-1 on a flip of a coin he would put 30% of his net worth (could of been roll not sure)

So question is, how much of your net worth would you put on if you were giving the following.

2/1??
5/1??
10/1??

The question obviously depends if you have a family etc, but will be genuinely interested in the variety of answers. Blatch v Tikay for example! Also the young online pro, v the sports better.

I'm really not sure of an answer but will think and comment after.

Although this is hypothetical and just abit of fun, allegedly Teddy "the iceman" Monroe, has reportedly flipped with people offering 2-1.

So if Blatch = the sports better, does Tikay = the young online pro?

As my net worth is tied up in my house I'd say none of in for any of the cases.

As far as cash in the bank goes I'd say the lot for all 3 although that may change if the balance increases significantly.

I would happily flip 5k if I was given 2 to 1 if it didn't put me in to any debt.

As for the 5 to 1 and 10 to 1 it really makes no difference to how much I'd risk. As long as it didn't put me in to debt or risk my house then pretty much whatever I've got in the bank.

On the other hand if you were to offer me 10 to 1 as in I only have to win 1 flip out of 10 for even money I'd happily put my house, my business and everything else I own on it.

I'd do same if I was Matt.

He's still young enough that he can rebuild and eventually buy a house again if it all goes wrong. If he wins though, he can own half the street and his bank interest would just freeroll his lifestyle/stripper habit.

They did it on that Derren Brown thing with the horse racing.

He spent ages trying to get 10 heads out of 10.

They did it but it took all day. I think I'd be pretty safe.
