    Would you play 1 round of Russian Roulette for $1 Million
    Rules: 1 bullet in the gun that shoots 6. You spin it and then cock the gun, point it at your head. You pull the trigger. Either you kill yourself or you get air and you win $1 million.

    Would you do this

    1 in 6 chance to die
    5 in 6 chance to get $1 Million

    Me personally, would take that risk

    anyone else

          If you put the value of your remaining life at less than 5,000,000 dollars, then I guess it's +EV.

          If you happen to lose, well others might think that's +EV.

          Me, I'd pass. The odds are way to short.

          Good Luck

              if you say NO, what reasonable amount of money would you do it for....don't say like 1 trillion b/c that's stupid

              $5 million
              $10 million

              What amount would you do it for, if $1 million is a NO

                  So you would take the chance at a bullet to the brain for a million dollars?

                  O.K.

                  Lets say that the chances of you contracting full blown AIDS from performing fellatio was about 1 in a million. Would you then go down on an infected Mandinka tribesman for a dollar?

                    My life is well worth more than 1 million dollars so i would def. never do that. Also 1/6 chance of dying is a huge rate if you ask me.

                    BTW SamNCharge how did your power hour go?

                        Sammy, your potential future earnings lifetime have to far exceed 2 million. why would you risk your life for the quick cash? if you won, it would prob ruin you to get it all at once

                          The question is would you want to be first or last one to pull the trigger? I think you have the best odds being last.

                                      No

                                      Reason Sam gambling is a hobby for me... I am financially set. That is why you never see me overbetting or desperate. And for me there will never be a such thing as all in. I continue to win, stay small...and make bets a few times a week... Same rule all sports..presto!

                                            Are you crazy Sam? Why in God's green earth would you put a dollar value on your life? Even if you did get the $1 million, there's a good chance you'd continue to gamble, up your risk, and eventually lose it anyays. And to top it off, you gave yourself a 17% chance of dying.

                                                  I'd do it, but that's b/c I'm not good at following rules too well. I have the gun in my hand with a bullet (I'd bring a few extra with me) and somebody else is holding the $1,000,000?

                                                        Odds are not correct. You may not die after you shoot yourself, you may miss the target completely or the gun may not fire.

                                                              That sucks if money is that important to you that you'd put your life on the line for it.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                                This question has come up before. I said no at the time.

                                                                But I may reconsider. Not for the money, but to test myself. It's like betting on a -600 favorite. So in order to win a million you would have to bet six million.

                                                                This actually came up for me a year ago. My trading account one day showed a 13 million dollar mistake in my favor. I tested it, and could have traded with the money. Even though it was illegal, as long as I had traded in and out at the same day, they couldn't have touched my profits. I ended up not pulling the trigger. Left about 500K on the table by doing so. The next day the mistake was corrected.
