Gambling Your Life

[millidonk]

What a great question. What unexpected answers.

It's a definite no to all for me.

Even if I was offered twice the money for half the risk, I wouldn't contemplate it.

I mean, consider all those countless eons of time that have passed since the big bang.

Think about the universe settling down, the billion to one chance of a planet developing and sustaining life, and then evolving into this world of countless miracles and wonders.

Contemplate holding the winning ticket for the 600 million to one sperm race.

Overcome those odds, and you get to spend a few inestimably precious decades in awe of the world around you.

Imagine losing it all on a 35/1 shot....

Not me. I don't think the money is very important anyway. A survey of lottery winners showed that after the  initial euphoria wears off, those people who were unhappy before the win are just as unhappy afterwards. 

Good to have you back. Now i'm so happy that i wouldn't even take the coin flip! Y and Z still stand

Never flipping or dicing, would roulette it for 5 million.

Interesting thread. Dying would just be really shitty. It's so selfish as well to the people around you, you'll forever be remembered as a selfish gambler, it would have to be a really long shot AND life changing money for me to be in.

I dont count anything less than 5million as life changing. Of course 1million would change my life, but to me, life changing means meaning you'll never have to work again and can fund you're entire life without any worries as well as your families and live like a balla forever. Probably more like 15 or 20 to have a totally balla lifestyle.

It's weird, I do a lot of stuff that costs a lot of $$ but I'm just as happy when I don't do that stuff really. I wouldn't even take a 100/1 shot for my life to be a billionaire.

In the word of the old song

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old,
or a friend when you're lonely,
or a love that's grown cold.

Fade the zero, get furious if 17 or 20 comes in without me having money on it

needs more love.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it does afford you a much better standard of misery.

I'm developing quite a taste for eating hot food cold.

It started with bacon and egg banjos and has now extended to soups and stews, toast, pizza, and all kinds of take-aways, esp Chinese.

No, now shut up and pass me the gherkins and the coal scuttle.

[boldie]

Nice to see you posting a bit again, Mr Red.
