Poll: Russian Roulette for $500 mil... Would you do it?

[xdom125x]

I wouldn't do it. I mean, assuming we are using a revolver that can hold 6 bullets that means that if there is 1 bullet I have a 16.666(endless 6)% chance of losing and that is a little too big of a risk for me.

I wouldn't do it.

I read a Darwin Award once about a guy who tried playing Russian Roulette with a semiautomatic pistol. Guess how that ended?

He won. Am I right? Oh wait, Russian Roullete is the one where you try to survive.

 

[Zeema]

Make it 1 Trillion and change it to African Roulette

But yeah i would do Russian Roulette

 

[Thaliur]

Well, on one hand the odds are better than in the lottery, on the other hand, a lotto ticket won't kill you if you mark the wrong numbers.

I won't do it.

 

[Lacsapix]

be happy in heaven or be rich in this life.
seems like a win/win to me, to bad I am too afraid to do it.

 

[its_Stewys]

Yeah i would do it.
I mean work my whole life and scrape by to own a home/car/family that i cant take with me when i die or end it with a chance of never having to do anything again?

 

[Cogwheel]

OT: Yes. Because I am that crazy and care that little for my life. Though, considering fuckloads of people tell me I should just kill myself... it's a bigger fuck you if I win.

If you don't mind my asking, why don't you care? I don't know you or anything, but that's pretty worrying, all the same. And anyone who says that sort of thing is best ignored. I hear plenty of that myself, actually.


As for the actual topic, yes. Without a second thought. But only if it's a simple "survive and you win" deal. If there's a chance of anyone else getting hurt, definitely not. The money would go to family and so on, obviously. I don't want any for myself. As for why I'm okay with this, well, I don't have all that long in any case. Then there's the whole thing where I literally do not know a single person who would care all that much if I got shot in the head, but a few that would be quite happy with it.

It's a win/win, in a messed up sort of way.

Statistically, the weight of the round would cause the cylinder to stop on its low side. Thus saving the janitorial services in whatever building you are in from having a long night cleaning blood stains.

...if I had it in writing, plain english, no loopholes on his end, signed and with the payment available in cash right there(specifically, I point the revolver at my head and pull the trigger, if I survive, I get the half billion dollars)... I'd create my own little loophole and point it at my cheek (with my mouth open wide). Technically part of my head.

(in other words, he might need to specify where the gun is aimed)

Ehh, because if this body dies it is my last cycle before I "return". Meaning, it is better for a certain party to ensure that I live as long as possible. Plus, ehh... Life and Death are two sides of the same coin. Although, when I have my own child, that will change. I will have to survive as long as possible and said party will try to kill me. Sadly, I foresee that it is my daughter that may suffer the fatal shot to the heart that is meant for me. I must prevent this. At all costs.

 

[MirrorSweep]

Hell yes.

 

[jumb]

For even odds, it means my life is worth 3 billion dollars.

Seems fair to me; I'd have a go.

...Colour me confused. Certain party? Last cycle?

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like an idiot - even if it is the case - but I'm more than a little lost, here.

Different choice, shoot him with a fast trigger finger and steal all his money.

It is difficult to explain. Very. Plus, it would derail the thread.

OT: Yes. Because it is the game of Real Men.

EDIT: Simple answer, in this order.

It is ok to be confused. God. This body is the last one.

 

[Mazza35]

I would, mainly because I like money, and I'm expendable.

 

[Lexodus]

I'm immortal, so sure.

Right, sorry. Didn't mean to derail the thread/sound stupid, even if I wound up doing both. Sorry about that.

 

[Wintermoot]

only if I,m allowed to wear a bullet proof helmet

 

[Sovereignty]

Do I have to pay taxes on it?

And how much would be taxed?

If I'd still come out with 495+ million then sure I would. Anything less and hell no.

It'd be one hell of a story to tell at my funeral. Plus I imagine I am bulletproof.

No need to be. You did nothing wrong. Nor did you derail/sound stupid.

OT: None of this wimpy 1 bullet shit... 3 bullets.
