Personally, I'd take it for any amount of money greater than I could make in the time it takes me to pick a ticket. [/ QUOTE ] |

Re: How much do you value your life?
The ammount is not as important to me as the probability.
I would take the bet if the odds of dying were 1000 to 1. And the payoff was like 5 million. Why? Because I sometimes assume risks of 1000 to 1 of dying without having a payoff at all (example: trying to cross a busy multi-lane street outside the pedestrian zone by running fast) or I guess some extreme sports like mountain climbing or bouldering could have the same odds of dying. 100 to 1 would require billions, and even then, I don't know if i'd take it. |

Re: How much do you value your life?
then again.. i dont know if id take 1000 to 1 as well.
sometimes the longshot comes through :/ like when I won the billion hand at Pokerstars, i calculated my odds were well under 1 to 4000 and i hit. good question though |

when you die you cease to be concious instantly, then it would make no difference, as you'd only be aware when you win.

Coyote realizes he no longer has cliff underneath him. I go with $500K. |

Re: How much do you value your life?
I don't play...life is the big money ticket. I'm scared shitless of death.

Re: How much do you value your life?
I would do it if the winning ticket was $30,000,000. On 30 mil, I can live the rest of my life very comfortably.

Re: How much do you value your life?
Not sure if there's any amount of money I would do this for. Being an atheist, I know there will be nothing when I do. I'd much rather be alive with no money than dead. Plus I'm still young and have the best years of my life to go through. My answer might change if I was 45 with a old, fat wife and kids asking for college money.

Re: How much do you value your life?
1 Billion. There's a lot of stuff I want. I think a 1% chance of dying is worth it to be able to have it. I have other ways to try and make a million dollars or more without riking my life, but for a billion, I think I'd take it.
