Thalfie Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 surely you wouldn't logically choose the 50/50 option imagine the pain if you got nothing? would be too much to bare for me at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yelawolf Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 $1m isn't that much to never work again lol especially if you have no house i'd probably take the $1m though, buy a couple houses and continue to live my life. maybe go on a holiday etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braveheart Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I could do a lot more good with the billion than I could with a million. So as the risk to my financial wellbeing is not great enough, in the sense that I'm not essentially 'losing' what I already have before this decision, I must attempt to try and attain the billion. 1Million would change my life dramatically. 1billion could alter many lives completely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchPride Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would have to go for the 50/50, you go with nothing, you either leave with a billion or leave with nothing as you came, you aren't losing anything, so I'd give it a crack.

toogood18 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Look you lose $1billion but if you have $1 million there is a chance you can build that up to $1 billion one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbylaw Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Insanity to not take option B, it's paying 1/1 and you don't have to stump up the $500m. Who in their right mind wouldn't take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Look you lose $1billion but if you have $1 million there is a chance you can build that up to $1 billion one day If this is your goal, there will be no investment with better reward to risk than choosing to invest/gamble the $1mn for a chance at 50/50 for $1bn.

Justin87 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 The odds are good to take the risk cos your risking 1 million to make 999,000,000 million... SO really the odds are good to go for the billion, BUT id take the million, buy 2 houses at $450,000 rent them out go a massive holiday and all the rest for the 100g, an then still got say $600 a week going into you bank account from the rent..

Hammerhead Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 One Million. It's enough to help make your life a lot easier, 500k on a house, the other 500k in a term deposit, at roughly 5% P.A there is 25k a year right there, to do nothing. Plus you still have the extra 500k if you ever need it. Might have to work part time to help cover the bills but I'm find with that as I couldn't not have work or something to help keep me occupied. Couldn't do the Billion, if got nothing, although I didn't lose anything, Every time a mortgage payment came up I'd be reminded that things could have been different.I know that I could change more with a billion but even with a million I could still help others so I'd be happy.

macri Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) I'd probably go with the 50% shot at the billion, but with that said, if I lost - I'd probably kill myself. Edited May 31, 2012 by macrrii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandev Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Take the million, put it in a term deposit, live off the interest, never work again. At 6% interest , that's 60k pa. Can't live off that for too long buddy. Take the 1m and diversify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
