1) Brooks Leech from Mt. Vernon Arkansas (March of 2007), he could've walked away with $147,000, had no safety net, goes one more time, knocks out that big dollar amount, and then plummets way down to $100?
2) Some woman from that Hurricane Katrina indient from
New Orleans who could've walked away with over $100,000 but then plummeted after she kept going without that safety net and walked away with $1?
3) Several other people who all could've walked away with at least $70,000 and then without their safety net, made the decision to still go for it but then took a big fall and walked away with less than $1,000?
Without a safety net and being able to walk away with $50,000 or risk plummeting down less than $1,000, I'd defintiely take the deal. To me, it'd be a no-brainer.

It's greed and thrill of the game. Win big or lose all, it's the name of the game.

But they may be looking at it as what it is,,,,,,, a game. You win some, you lose some. And even the ones that walked away with $100 had more than they came with and an experience of a lifetime.
Plus, it's much easier to decide what they SHOULD have done after the fact.

Well, you've gotta admire them for being risk takers!
You can't always live life safely.
Although, if I wear in their position with no safety net, I'd deal faster than you can say 'Noel Edmonds'.

they like to take big risks i guess. Like sometimes in life you gotta go wit something that you may think is right but in the end is completely not. Even tho they lost big they still took a risk. life isn't about playin it safe sometimes you got to take big risks to actually live life.
