On a sucker bet? You better believe it.

I'd laugh just as hard if someone took 10000-1 odds for $100,000 that a nuclear holocaust would terminate the world by Friday.

I have no shame in enjoying watching a cop-out sucker bet make someone lose money.

Does that make me mean?

I guess I just don't see the comparison between losing 50K on a sucker show bet and an old woman dying.

They aren't really in the same universe as far as bad analogies go.

Thankfully it happened in New York. At least the poor schnook gets to choose from a lot of bridges. Anyone who chases $2.10 deserves whatever they get.

i would think if someone dropped 50k on a bet, they could afford to lose it. hell, maybe one day they'll look back and laugh too.

or maybe not
