Absolutely. Why would you not? If you had a 95% chance of winning for a $1 bil prize, anything up to $950 million would still be a sound ticket price.
$1000 is peanuts compared to that prize. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm good with anything above 25% Winning a billion is just too tempting to not risk 1000 I'm not sure what you're asking with the 2nd question --- A.K. 2/14/10 T.C.P.

Well, with that win rate and payout, it seems like a reasonably solid investment.

Yeah.
Probably wouldn't do it for less than 70-75% odds. Losing a thousand dollars right now would really fuck me over. Hmm, actually I might still do it as low as 50% odds. --- And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart The moonlight shown upon her as she lay back in my bed ...

So what is your cutoff % wise to not take this? Depends on my mood. The cold logic part of my brain says probably $50k. While potentially losing that would really sting, I could still keep going without it. Honestly, though, if someone said "here's your chance, but it's a $200k buy-in"... something tells me I'd pull the money together through loans/remortgaging to make it happen. Once it gets above that, my ability to quickly generate that much money without selling my possessions or getting into predatory loans is limited. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
