Default Re: Would you play russian roulette

Are we talking 1 in 6?

Gambling theory is all nice and warm but I'm not playing this game an infinite amount of times. That would be guaranteed death. I'm playing once. After I win I don't need anymore: utility. I want my money. 10 mil is enough for me not to have to worry about working for life or at least until somebody gets nuked and then the world sucks anyways. Work sucks bad. This is a nobrainer for me. It might not be for others and that's fine, but any effort to use a reasoned philosophical argument to dissuade me from taking this offer is misplaced.

Half-drunk people, please don't hit me too hard.

-Michael
