    Ok, it's time to find out who the real gamblers are at SBR..
    OK boys, you MUST be very honest here. NO LYING.. we will now see who the real gamblers are.... and who is not really a gambler..


    You are given (1) dice.... You roll it one time ONLY.


    IF you roll a 2,3,4,5, or 6... You get $10 MILLION.

    IF you roll a 1... You die with a bullet to your head...


    So basically, you have an 83% chance of living a great life....
    And you have a 17% chance of dying immediately..


    Do you roll that dice?

    My answer is NO.. When the time comes to roll that dice, my knees would buckle...I'd be sweating profusely...i guess i am not a real gambler.. Are you a real gambler?? would you take a shot at this? be honest. if you say YES, you are a real gambler..

                      how can the YES be winning 5-2 so far.. i thought this would end up 23-2 for the NO..

                      in fact, i am so sure the YES guys who are saying yes now will quickly change their mind when the time comes to roll that dice.

                      i can see it now.. ok sir, go...

                      nooooooooooo.. i'm out.. forget it.. i can't do it. i'm sorry.. i just can't.. i'm too scared.. you YES guys are big talkers. i don't buy it. it's easy to say YES now, but when that time comes, you will shake and pass out..

                      if you guys are serious and you'd do it.. then i give you 2 swamis...

                              if you notice, the smart guys and mature guys say NO.. and the immature ones and the kids all say YES.. think about it. if the avg poster who said YES is 26 yrs old.. is 10 million really worth 50 more precious yrs of your life??? you can't buy 50 yrs of life with only 10 million..life is priceless.. greed will catch up to you .. you boys just know it that the 1 will pop up on that dice.. you just know it..

                              life is great. why risk a 1 in 6 shot and die at 26. just think how you'd feel if that 1 popped up. is this really worth the gamble??

                              now you can change your mind if you want.. i am here waiting for you.. let me know..

                                No. I have kids and watching them grow up is worth too much to me.

                                                      You cant really call one side dumb and one side smart because you dont have all the info Nicky.

                                                      Nicky what if your mom was dying of cancer and needed an operation to live. say it costs $600,000 and you had no way of getting that money so she is as good as dead. Now you have an 83% chance to save her ?

                                                      What if someone is 55 years old and has major health issues already so his life may be almost over anyway ? Not everyone on here is 25.

                                                      What if one person is really depressed and thinks about suicide a lot anyway ?

                                                      What if these people are like me and just cant pass up a gamble ?

                                                      Like I said, come up with $10,000,000 and we can do this. The board would probably donate the $10,000,000 just to have a 1 chance in 6 of never seeing me post again.

Nicky what if your mom was dying of cancer and needed an operation to live. say it costs $600,000 and you had no way of getting that money so she is as good as dead. Now you have an 83% chance to save her ? What if someone is 55 years old and has major health issues already so his life may be almost over anyway ? Not everyone on here is 25. What if one person is really depressed and thinks about suicide a lot anyway ? What if these people are like me and just cant pass up a gamble ? Most people give the desirable answer and say NO NO LIFE is too Precious, life is too important, blah blah blah. These are the same people wasting their lives drunk, on drugs, watching basketball games on television simply because they have $50 on it, watching internet porn, etc. In other words WASTING their lives anyway. Like I said, come up with $10,000,000 and we can do this. The board would probably donate the $10,000,000 just to have a 1 chance in 6 of never seeing me post again.
                                                                      I'm 35, 2 kids. I don't drink. I have never took drugs. I will watch a game I don't have money on (but just started watching again this year. I stopped watching when they had the strike years ago because I was piss. It gave me nothing to gamble on. lol) You got me on the porn.

                                                                      With the cancer story it can end a few ways. One is you do it and if you win you have a chance to save her life. If it did it pays off.

                                                                      You could win, attempt to save her life only to lose her a year or so down the road. With that you get to spend some more time with her but for some that wouldn't be enough.

                                                                      You could lose and then you die. Now your mother gets to find out her child died to save her. So now she has to suffer with cancer (which is tough enough), while thinking about how her child won't get to enjoy life. In that case you could have made it worse for her.

                                                                      What if you lose and then there happens to be someone that was found that was going to put up the money?

                                                                      But Nicky is right IMO. If your young its too much to risk. Everyone would have to decide that for them self but it would be crazy.

                                                                      If I was on my death bed with a day or so to go then I would rethink it. If I'm going anyway, there is a chance I could leave behind 10 Million to my family. But I would still have to think about it.
