In this thread, you should respond to the previous poster by stating whether his proposition is +ev or -ev, possibly why if an explanation is warranted, and then making a new proposition. The proposition may involve paying a sum of money (banging chick in wufwugy's avatar) or receiving a sum of money (banging spoonitnow's fat bitch), depending on the nature of the proposition. The amount of money should obviously create a non-trivially easy decision for the next poster.

I'll start.

My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

Hmm....

E(value) = .5(laid by Jessica Alba every day for a year) + .5 (diarrhea in mouth once)

utility of laid by Jessica Alba every day = 1000 (out of 1000)
utility of diarrhea = -900

So EV or E(value) = .5(1000) + .5 (-900) > 0

Ergo, +EV.
