Gotta be 50 if you’re even the most conservative person.

I would say 85 and then stop

Does my family get to keep the money of the boxes I've already opened?

Nah surely not.

Also you would imagine the "death box" is instant death so goodbyes would have to be said in advance.

[pokerhand]

Would zero not be by far the most common answer. People take 1% risks all the time unknowingly, but to choose to take a risk like that seems like something very few would consciously do.

You asking this in a poker forum??

Seriously, you reckon Zero is the most common answer from guys in a poker forum??

I would be shocked if the common answer is less than 5 at the very least.

€1,750 in the Tipping Comp and time running out for last minute entries.

That would certainly make you say:

Ireland West indies now on sky sports mix. Ireland not looking great tbh.

Doing OK Shrap!

67/3 chasing 250-odd is fine. Sounds like they let WI off the hook in their innings though.

NO'B due a big one. Coincidentally, I'm umpiring a game in his home club later - there will be beverages if they win this.

A 5.5% (or so) chance of death for $500,000? Not so sure. Think there would be a big count of zeros.

The best answer btw was in a response to rags tweet. Anyone want to speculate for the default best answer is?

Obv the answer is really dependent on the core respondee.... if its is on aveage, young single men, then the number would be higher than you think. For me personally, my number would probably be in the low teens. But I guess the default best answer would be 20.

Cause, you would be like... fuck it, free monies on titties

Hill's response I assume. Certainly the best.

Oh Mata

Liverpool having a mare.

Be a good starter Q for someone with no pension/investments. Risk appetite analysis . Zero would be my honest answer.

...But time let off...2 very makabke catches, Powell could have been gone at 18, went for 101 instead...

[dobby]

United would drive you mad with a performance like this after all the shite they've played all season. Liverpool don't seem to be at the races at all but I'll take it. So far so good. Pogba getting injured yesterday was a blessing.

100 for 4 after 25 overs? Pretty tall order to win it from there. Hope I'm wrong though

Only 6 an over - piece of piss the rate teams score at these days.

Wickets in hand is the big one and I see I BBV'd NO'B.

[Strewelpeter]

It would be extremely rare, even amongst practitioners of very dangerous sports to knowingly take a 1% chance of certain death.

IMO you'd have to be in a fair bad way to value your life at 1 mill

...Ugh, 2 gone in this over, curtains now me thinks...Could have done with these 2 points for the super 6...

[Raoul Duke III]

WTF with not taking the penalty there?

...I'm gonma guess this is not soccer or cricket?...

[Lazare]

Zero boxes for me.

I think I would want €10m per box to take a 1% shot on losing my life. And I'm broke.

[Strewelpeter]

Odd, now its going 0-3 and BArnes missed a clear KO FFS

Not sure if I agree with that... look at American football for example. Wasnt there a study that found the risk of getting serious brain injury to be quite high... hasnt really stopped people from playing and people still participate despite knowing the risks.

I know it not death, but brain injury is hardly an desirable outcome.

[Raoul Duke III]

Earls having a fucking shocker so far

[dobby]

Liverpool pretty poor today but badly needed win.

JamieCarra owes me a pound. Hup

[Raoul Duke III]

We are not playing well at all. Ominous.

[Strewelpeter]

That was fortunate

[Raoul Duke III]

Jammy try for Stockdale. We'll take it though.

[Strewelpeter]

That was horrible from the Scots . LOL

How is that even possible?

I thought Hogg was in a poor position and should have at least stuck his leg out when it was going past him.

Our Forwards looking a bit tired already here.

[dobby]

The best thing about the rugby for me, because I don't really follow it or understand all the rules, is you can hear the ref and he's constantly communicating with players and encouraging them. The way it should be done, they always know what's going on.

[Strewelpeter]

Was just explaining how Sexton kicking to touch with 60 seconds on the clock was stupid when ...

Hé should have been a bit closer, but come on, that pass was a disgrace from a world class centre

I like it as well, but there is definitely an argument to be made that he shouldn't have to and players should know what they can and can't do, instead of being told to stop doing something

[Strewelpeter]

It's comical on the replay

Scoreline the other way around would be a fairer reflection

Just posting this here so I can quote next year
After the rugby World Cup next year everyone will be posting about how the Six Nations is a second tier comp and we should have sacrificed a few to long term develop for the RWC blah blah blah

Time to go back to basic passing training scotland. LOL

[Denny Crane]

Pro-life march going by must be as least as big as any of the pro choice marches, and noticeably different make up.

Surprising number of young girls (John McGuirk probably got them up the front)
Walking across town took it out of John McGuirk by the looks of things
Seems to be exclusively young people and 40+. 18-35 must all swing pro-choice
Clearly a much better funded/organised group.
Piss poor chants though

[Frank Gibney]

100 boxes.

[Strewelpeter]

Thats another very odd decision, bonus point needed, so now he kicks at the posts

[The Aul Switcharoo]

We were 13 pints up with 15 mins to go. If he got the 3 we would have been ahead more than 2 converted tries.

[Strewelpeter]

'mon France

[V for Vendetta]

Twickenham here we come. Great discipline to not play it loose today and just grind it out. Never give a sucker a chance.

[Lazare]

Anyone know if car dealers up North take southern trade ins?

[Solksjaer!]

Looking forward to Dublins man utd V Sligo's Liverpool today. I do hope Dobby and Elshambles don't behave like children after the match. Tis only a game lads

Also Ireland by 20 is a good bet v the scots

Because woof

[NewApproach]

If you already have say €800k, the additional €100k on offer is definitely not worth risking a >1% chance of dying.

I'd say 0 or 1 boxes, anything after that is daft. If you already have anything more than about €50k, a reasonable life and some prospects of being able to generate money in the future, 0 boxes makes most sense.

[Frossach]

Anyone know if car dealers up North take southern trade ins?

Probably not, and if they do they wouldn't give you much for it

[Solksjaer!]

Zero boxes unless Mr big is threatening my life . I'd get the missus to open the box though

[JamieCarra]

Liverpool pretty poor today but badly needed win.

JamieCarra owes me a pound. Hup

Sigh

[SatNav]

I'd just keep opening each box till I got the bad one

I disagree with this for two reasons.

1. The tactic of playing it to our strengths, winning and evolving over time is better than a revolution and losing for a period.

2. The exciting high skills players coming through are a year away from being fully ready. Letting Carbery, Larmour, stockdale, ringrose loose in Oz is mouthwatering and that’s still over a year out from the RWC.

[luckforsome]

...England have been shocking in this match so far... They've had a couple of penalties, but went for points instead of touch... Winning by a few points is pointless without the Bonus... I think that's the championship over at this stage...
...Here's a question- Say we do win the championship today, and lose in England next week- Overall are we happy or sad?... I know it's good to win the 6 nations, but is losing the chance of a grand-slam worse than the joy of winning 6 nations?...

[Tar.Aldarion]

Don't 10% of people that climb Everest die? It's a different think knowing certain odds as people otherwise think to themselves, well that won't happen to me, that was the other persons own fault.

For NFL, people have a hard time thinking longterm, if somebody died or got debilitating brain injuries every few games they would think a bit differently.

[Denny Crane]

"lost a flip for five stacks" wouldn't be the worst way to go

[Hectorjelly]

Don't 10% of people that climb Everest die? .

I thought it couldn't be this high, looked it up and its roughly accurate. https://www.thoughtco.com/death-on-mount-everest-755907

[Strewelpeter]

Feels a bit weird for Ireland to be champions without having stretched themselves since the last ten minutes against France or having playing particularly well for the whole of any of the games.
You'd almost think that if they don't win in Twickenham it would feel like a disappointing season
