Default Would you risk it all?

Check this out from cnn:

Quote:
-- 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.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...eut/index.html

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.
