Would you risk it all?
 
Check this out from cnn:

Would you consider doing something like that? IMO, it's too risky, even if you had better odds than 50/50.

It'd be fun. If you didn't mind having to work hard to regain your life back if you lost. He's getting a lot of media attention. I personally would not do it.

I'm with his dad on this one. I would be incomprehensibly nervous while the wheel was spinning...I'm way too much of a wuss...

Wow, no way would I do that. His odds were less that 50/50, stupid 0, 00. Crazy fool.

I wouldn't be willing to start from square one, never.

Haha! I like the poll on that site. 92% no, and 8% yes.

Stupid gambling. No way. It might be fun for $10, but to have so much riding on it.. just.. no. Stupid.

That would be instant suicide if he lost, lol.

And I lost 40 bucks at Casino Montreal... I was gonna do 10 more, but I was smart and did not bring my interac card, lol.

The biggest risk is not taking one
