If you won a 100 million dollars would you still gamble?

Iceman · Feb 17, 2007

I wouldn't. Not saying I would ever turn down that kind of money but as far as having a purpose in life it would be MORE difficult.

One of best things in life is striving to better yourself and make money and that would most likely be gone in all phases of your life (work and gambling). Not sure it would add as much happiness as some may think, I know that sounds stupid to some.

I actually enjoy the rat race of life and the feeling of achievement when I accomplish goals and their wouldn't be much reason to pursue making more money to me.

On the good side it would give you more time to share with friends and family and that is obvious but waking up each day without being involved in some pursuit of financial goals would make life a little less gratifying to me. Maybe I would try and buy the Detroit Lions

umm no.

you can still feel a sense of competition within yourself without money involved.

LarryTalbot · Feb 17, 2007

It's in our blood IceMan. And to answer your question, I would still bet like I am now. It's the challenge or action that keeps us going.

xpanda · Feb 17, 2007

I've been making sidebets with friends as far back as I can remember. It's all about the winning and the bragging rights for me, has little to do with the money. So, yeah, if I won 100 million I'd still gamble. If anything, I'd probably gamble more.

Hell yes.

zone136 · Feb 17, 2007

I would still gamble and I would give the 100 million to charity.

Moneyneversleeps · Feb 17, 2007

I would still bet.

AndySpainpick's · Feb 17, 2007

I guess i'd almost stop any betting whatsoever, I would only watch events I enjoy, and no need to bet on them, what for ? I dont need any edge, I dont need any more money, I dont like to bet without an edge either, so it would slowly die down for me. Fucking hell it would destroy half my current proyects in life lol !!

(Fine tuning a system for in play betting, finishing my university, taking control of my pharmacy, buying a house for me and my gf, and carry on being happy and well)

I would still lead a very happy life i reckon, but as iceman said : ''I actually enjoy the RAT RACE of life and the feeling of achievement when I accomplish goals and there wouldn't be much reason to pursue making more money to me.'' ------> exactly my thoughts.

I might still finish my university, as im in the 5th year, but more not to leave it unfinished than anything else. Fuck it would be so hard to even touch the books if i had that kind of wealth, i mean, POINTLESS ??
But i could do with those 100M, lol, I'll be ok.

Sportsrmylife · Feb 17, 2007

Yes I would still bet. Heck if I invest the money correctly 100,000,000 after taxes (50%)...you still have 50 million and if you can get a slow moving 6% per year that is $3 million in invest alone. If I can't gamble on 3 million a year it doesn't matter what amount of money I have....I would lose it anyway.

ensign_lee · Feb 17, 2007

For the record, you couldn't buy the Detroit lions for $100 mill.

Hell, teh salary cap is almost at $100 mill.

ClipJoint · Feb 17, 2007

Of course I would.

Arodd · Feb 17, 2007

Labeeb · Feb 17, 2007
