Re: If you had $25k and needed $100k
[ QUOTE ]
The guys said it was a car accident. But even if it was cancer..if my family member had a half decent job and 25k how could the hospital (or a bank for that matter) not take the 25k and put the rest on some kind of payment plan. This story is weird. [/ QUOTE ] Heck, I read in the paper where some lady had some cancer where they took out all her white cells or something, all her spleen cells or something, I don't remember, and do something to them, and then inject them back into her. Anyway, AFTER THEY TOOK OUT HER SPLEEN CELLS, they found out her insurance didn't cover the procedure, AND SO THEY DIDN"T INJECT HER IMMUNE CELLS BACK INTO HER. The newspaper article was about how her family was suing the hospital. She, of course, died.

Buy $25k worth of crack from a wholesaler, repackage and resell it for 5x what you bought it for. [/ QUOTE ] I believe this strategy is known as the "DeLorean".

Baccarat ... two bets on the banker.
No decisions to make and low house edge. Of course, the commission means you'll come up a bit short. I guess betting red/black on a French roulette table which gives you back half your bet on the 0 wouldn't be too bad either.

Re: If you had $25k and needed $100k
I agree it's a strange story.
Two things: [ QUOTE ] but we were still about $100k short of what we needed to give him the proper care Please forget for a moment that there are other options besides Vegas (we obviously figured out a way). [/ QUOTE ] Our "way" was to pay for the best care. We figured out a way to get the money, and I never meant to imply that my brother was going to be left on the street. But there was a proper and expensive option, and there was a stand and look helplessly option. It wasn't a tough choice.. It was just a matter of how. The only reason I put in any details was to show that it was a short term proposition, and that $25k meant nothing when the bigger picture was at stake. Now, back to the options, and thanks for the good responses.
