I guess you have some sort of fetish for this phrase but on a quick
search it doesn't seem to be catching on with anyone else at vpFREE...
and the linguistic tic aside, while I admit to only knowing the
general idea of how an annuity works, it's not clear to me this is
such the holy grail, i.e.
- I doubt very many people would want to "get out of gambling forever"
(whether for enjoyment or intellectual challenge reasons)
- for those that did, whether an annuity is a gain over parking it in
some safe conservative investment even if they were that risk averse,
and
- is $1MM really enough (see Dec 2014 post below)? we're talking
about a never-have-to-work-again annuity, right? maybe for the right
set of age and life circumstances?
I mean having a non-linear utility curve is fine and all but it seems
weird to be willing to take longshots with multiple-lifetime cycles
when your bankroll is small and then take like no risk whatsoever with
a gigantic bankroll.

Get annuitized early and keep everything for the rest of your life.

If you get lucky from the beginning you can become annuitized (lucky
you) and get out of gambling forever.

Because my money utility function is not totally linear (unlike Bob
Dancer's) I would be tempted to play this game for a few dollars. If I
hit I would be annuitized (totally!!).

Of course if I'm annuitized no gambling (yeah) is in my future.

if I was sure that $1 play for $1,000,000 royal was honest I would play
it once or more than once if offered. That's annuitizing money you're
talking about.
