Forgive me for sounding like a dick but I just don't see how risking $2 for $500 million is worth it but $2 for 100 million isn't. Perhaps its just the excitement of it all.

If you think about it, getting 50k in straight up cash is more than enough if you invest wisely.

****, if you're competent at betting you could probably make some serious money with 30k disposable.
