From The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.
Question #96: Knowing you had a 50 percent chance of winning and would be paid 10 times the amount of your bet if you won, what fraction of what you now own would you be willing to wager?

$1. Wouldn't feel too bad if I lost it, would feel mildly good if I won, wouldn't feed my gambling/gacha addiction.

I don't own a lot so maybe I'd do $1 too xD;

I have never been ok with gambling anything real or substantial. I might wage at most, $100. If I won, an extra $100 could be really helpful, while losing $100 wouldn't put me in a bad position. It would merely be a loss in my personal spending money for a bit.

Same. Not a big risk taker; so I wouldn't risk anything I couldn't afford to lose without stress.
If I've got money to lose on a gamble like that, I had liefer spend it on something like

I'd be broke if it were me, because I'd most likely wager all my money.

Well, it depends. Do I only get to do it once?

We're all on the way out anyway aren't we? I give us 6 months, as a species.

Everything I guess. That's not saying much though because I really don't have much. XD

Just a little bc most people who gamble big do it for the rush more so than the winning. I'd do some, but not enough to completely screw me over, bc there's still 50% chance I'll lose what I put in when I still have it right now.
