Russian Roulette for €10m - would you?

Warper

Would you play Russian Roulette - one bullet in a 6-shooter for €10m straight up? Roughly 17% chance of blowing your head off or 83% chance of being loaded. Would you take that chance?

44leto

Hell yeah

My name is URL

You'd have way better odds just wandering out in front of a Luas and claiming afterwards.

johngalway

No, my aim is too good and my luck too bad.

...if it were the opposite............

Chuck Stone

Can I put two bullets in the gun for 20 million?

Logical Fallacy

It's actually much better odds than that. The loaded chamber is obviously heavier and has a greater chance stopping lower in the spin arc.

Physics and ****.

Hande hoche!

Can I cheat like a certain magician?

arybvtcw0eolkf

My life is worth more than a €10m Euro risk.

The Master of Disaster

No I choose life.

HovaBaby

No.

IMO you could have typed "Oh, and you'd still get the 10 million even if you get killed." It would mean the same thing to me.

GLaDOS

Not a chance

Nice one, Bobby de Niro.


Actually, I would do it for nothing since the only thing keeping me from doing it anyway are my girls.

3 years they're finished in college, I am free to do what I want. Including topping myself.

Now,,am I serious or messing around?

I would do it for 1 million Euro.

Gandalph

It depends......is the 10million tax free?

DEFTLEFTHAND

I would like to think I'd have the balls to do so. If Murphy's law prevailed and I got unlucky I would be more worried about leaving myself in a vegetative state than dying. I read an article recently about botched suicide attempts with guns, nasty stuff altogether.

Senna

I don't need €10m that desperately.

Bigger question, is anyone supposed to care?

strobe

I really think I would, yeah. But I've no kids or dependants of any kind. If I did it would obviously be out of the question.

Amirani

Hande hoche!

I just watched that for the first time, even if the round was a blank the dischage from a blank that close would still kill you.

So unless the sound of the discharge wasn't just added, it was still Russian roulette.

MysticalRain

Yes, it's a no brainer whatever way you look at it.

CamperMan

no feckin way!

BOHtox

I'd do it for three fiddy

Roulette gun stunt 'a hoax'

Jersey police have said the live Russian roulette TV stunt which was broadcast on Channel 4 on Sunday night was a hoax.

Illusionist Derren Brown asked another person to load a revolver with one bullet in the show recorded at Francheville Farm, Grouville, Jersey. Brown then pointed the gun at his own head, and pulled the trigger a number of times, stopping when he guessed the gun would fire.

"There was no live ammunition involved and at no time was anyone at risk," said Lenny Harper, Detective Chief Officer for the States of Jersey police. "A prop company brought a number of props to the island and they included a quantity of blank ammunition.

"There is absolutely no way that the States of Jersey police would allow anybody to put themselves at risk and shoot themselves dead."

Superintendent John Pearson said Jersey police were informed of the stunt before it took place. However, having examined how the stunt would work, they were satisfied it would not break any of the island's gun laws.

Asked if he had been concerned that somebody was going to fire a loaded gun at their head, he said: "If what was portrayed on TV was going to happen, then we did have concerns. "So a senior officer contacted Channel 4 and then we found out.
"We were absolutely satisfied that, firstly, there would no offences committed in Jersey in relation to any laws at all and secondly, that no-one was in any danger whatsoever."

No offences committed

Handguns are illegal in the UK. Mr Pearson pointed out that certain firearm legislation in Jersey was in fact tougher than the UK. For instance, unlike the UK, it was illegal to hold an airgun in Jersey without a licence.

He said the Jersey police had contacted Channel 4 after being alerted by a national newspaper that the show was to be filmed on the island.

Channel 4 would only say in a statement: "In making and broadcasting this programme, Channel 4 was very mindful of its responsibility to ensure the safety of all involved and liaised with the Jersey police in advance of filming there to ensure that no offences were committed."

Damn right I would. Sure if you lose, you wont live long enough to even know about it.
Quick and painless.
HOLY SH!T!! THEIRS YAKULT ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!

Its something that is demonstrated to you before you start training with blanks, they fire the nozzle of the gun into a piece of wood and it makes a hole in it.

Its as I posted, unless the sound was added, a dangerous thing to do.

Hande hoche!

Brandon Lee was killed by a blank if I remember right.

AngryBollix

I dont got the stones

Richard Hillman

I'd pull the trigger once for 10 million, possibly 1 milllion

AngryBollix

Why wouldnt you shoot the other person in the head and keep the €10 milion

kraggy

Poll results are gas.

36% say they'd do it. Yeah right, if it came down to it you wouldn't dream of doing it.
