Would you play Russian Roulette for 1 billion dollars?

Only with a semi-automatic.
And the other guy starts.

No.

Depends on the rule. Do you have to do that once or do you play until you are the only one standing like this game?

I don’t want one billion dollars, so no.
One billion puppies, maybe.

Of course. I’d do it for far less right now.

No.

No, I don’t want a billion dollars.

A billion dollars won’t do me no good if I die in the process of winning it. So, no I’m not going to play

That’s hard. I think I would be very tempted – think of all the lives you could save with that amount. Still, I don’t think I could pull the trigger.

Same thing I said previously: If I only have to shoot one time, I would; if it’s an ongoing game, nope.

No.

No.
Johnston’s Law says that “Murphy’s Law is ALWAYS in effect and it can affect YOU.” (Johnston’s Law is for people who must think or assume that Murphy’s Law never affects them.)
And Murphy’s Law says that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
And a standard revolver holds 6 bullets, so there is a one in six chance you’re going to end up with a bullet in your brain.
I’ll pass.

You just described Russian Roulette, @kritiper.

The money does not entice me one bit.

No because its a lose- lose relationship.
If your the one remaining standing, then you would spend the rest of your life in jail and No money.

No

I’d need a lot more description of the whole situation, and the game, and if there are one or more “opponents” in the game, who they are. And who is offering a billion dollars and what other conditions and circumstances are involved, and whether I trust them or anyone else who might be involved in the situation. I’d tend to suspect it was not a fair and no-strings attached where anyone was really offering me even a 50% fair chance at a billion dollars with no strings attached and that “winning” wouldn’t put me in a dangerous situation too.

If I were certain it were a pure 5/6 chance of receiving a billion dollars with no negative consequences except the 1/6 chance of dying, then I would probably accept. But the odds seem very low that would ever actually be the case.

@rebbel I think I described gambling.

I may need a few tequila shots first!

The question you have to ask yourself, is do you feel lucky. -Clint Eastwood

Yes, if I was allowed to wear a massively cushioned Kevlar helmet and the chamber was loaded with a Nerf bullet.

No. Passing up a billion dollars is easy. It doesn’t take anything away from me that I already have. Whereas a bullet would. If I did something that stupid and killed myself, I would never live it down.

Maybe, but not yet.
