February 7, 201511 yr Assume you went to Vegas this summer and put $100 on UK to go undefeated at 50:1 odds. Bill Gates walks in your door with a wad of cash and tells you that you can make one offer to him, and if he likes it, he'll buy your ticket, which may be worth $50,000 or may cost you $100. What number do you quote him, and what's the lowest amount you'd actually take to sell that ticket and walk away with your money back and a profit?
February 7, 201511 yr LOL.. If your thinking about selling your ticket, I would advise against it. If you do want to sell it, throw me a number lol.

I don't actually have one, but if someone gave me $25K - $30K for it, I'd probably sell in a heartbeat and let them take the chance on winning the rest while still giving them better odds than Vegas would.
February 7, 201511 yr I'd probably sell for half, $25,000. The Banker on Deal or No Deal would offer you $3,600 for it!

I would hold the ticket, lot's of fun if you win. If you lose, the ride only cost $100.
