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

-- A British man who sold all his possessions, including his clothes, stood in a rented tuxedo on Sunday surrounded by family and friends and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

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... |

Re: Would you risk it all?
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.

I could never do that. I'd lose.

The biggest risk is not taking one

according to that theory, it would be impossible NOT to take a risk.

Re: Would you risk it all?
If you think about it, his chance of winning was close to 50% because he bet on red. There are only 3 colours, Red, Black and Green, but their are only 2 greens, so his percentage is pretty much a coin toss. Thinking back i would have done the same thing....I'd sell everything i have. but the thing is i dont really have anything, so if i won, id maybe come out with $300....I admire him....hes my new hero...Sorry Camfu

Re: Would you risk it all?
well, lying in bed, you could fall off and die somehow, eating - choking hazard, breathing - posibility of inhaling toxic gases, and the bunny might bite you, give you rabies, or something else and you might die  |
