Shut up Doug.
that was just mean.what I find odd is everybody saying they would pick pi when out of all the weird random decimal placed numbers you could pick if you were allowed to pick them, you would pick the most blatantly obvious one of all of them. technically all dude would have to say is "pi" and your screwed because that is the accepted notation of the entire number, all the way out. GOD COME ON PEOPLE.

Personally, I would choose e over pi.

what if you had to actually get the number of people to be involved for whatever number you select and every round has to be fired.ie ... you pick 1 in 50 for 10 million you have to find 49 other people and each of those 50 people get one shot from the 50 round chamber containing only one actual bullet.amazes me that people actually used to (still do?) play russian roulette for 'fun'

With all the "political correctness" .. can you still call it "Russian Roulette"?

After taxes it's only about $5.5 millionYou should know that going in.Also why is some guy willing to do this? I m guessing if you do this, he would laugh and call over his buddy and they would have an over/under bet on which number you chose. Then he would kick you in the nuts and walk away laughing.I mean he's the one with the gun.
I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay taxes on 10 million in cash that I just earned with my life.

If I had 10M, I would easily be bankrolled for 50nl....I would go down to 1-7.And if you are put into a random situation like that, aren't the most common numbers going to be things like, 3,4,7,13 etc. Wouldn't picking one of the end numbers be safer?

I don't think so. I don't think any logic really applies here. I think you may be a bigger dog at this game than it first seems. SOme people have incredible reading abilities beyond what is good at the poker level. Some people can be very gifted at reading what other people are thinking, if this person has a knack for knowing your guess you could almost be drawing dead. But you can't be better than 50-1 if we're only dealing integers.

I just went in my roommate's room and told him to pick a number. When I told him my number, he said wrong, so I win.Who pays me my $10 million? (I do take US dollars despite their worthlessness)

I would do it for 10million between 1-50 without even blinking.I would probably draw the line at 1-10.lol, my degenerate friend and I sometimes pick random numbers and then we pay true odds if the other guesses it.So if he picks a number between 1-50 and I guess it I get payed 50-1 on whatever amount we bet, usually $1.This hasn't happened yet. although he did guess 36 last time in a 1-100 when my actual pick was 35. I would have had to pay him $100, instead i won $1.Most I've won of him was $25 on a $5 bet though, when I guessed his number was 5 (he had to pick between 1-5)Yes very stupid I know.

You realize that you guys are paying the wrong odds, right? 1-50 should pay 49-1. 1-5 should pay 4-1. (He should've only given you $20.)
