(17,921 posts)17. So what would be your number
Mine is $100K to go for $10M (50/50). I would probably go for that in Vegas (this presupposes you don't have a syndicate behind you - it is your money and your risk). I just would not tell my wife if I lost a large portion of our retirement.

The real question is: Could you live having given up a sure million and won nothing?
