I make that bet with everything I own.

And also, consider a real-life scenario in wich a superrich bilionare proposes this deal to test human behavior (such as that movie in wich a bilionare proposes a normal woman millions to prostitute herself). someone here said that a 92% deal with those circunstances would NEVER be presented to you, but i think it can [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I make this bet.

And if I lose I keep making this bet by asking for "double or nothing" until I win.

And when I win, I keep going. Making 25K bets everytime. Maybe 50K to 200K if I'm feeling lucky. Maybe 500K if I get up that much. If I'm up, I keep playing until I get back down to 50K and then walk away, very tempted to play that 25K I'm up.

Where can I get this game? This 92% guaranteed win?

I dont see how you can ask a degen-gambler to not make this bet?

This brings an interesting follow up question to mind.

If you make the 25k bet and win, you are then offered to play double or nothing infinitely until you lose. You cannot play less than your entire savings at any point in time. How many times would you want to win before you stop? (If you lose, you no longer have the choice to play again, so that doesn't matter).
