Don\'t Do It
This bet makes no sense. If you could simulate repititions where you'd win 17 times out of 100, one could say that the odds would have to be 6-1 in order for the payoff to make sense.
Except, unlike hands we play over and over again in limit, this one is for your *whole banroll*. You don't get another chance (or 4) to make the odds balance it out (unless we're saying I have unlimited opportunities to take Bill up on this bet. And still I'd need another year to build the BR up again).
It's like playing russian roulette. Sure I have great odds to not get shot, but when I do, I never get to play again.
There should be a choice in the poll for "I'd never take this bet. Period."
