All depends on how confident you are, of course on the other side you have to remember the rule on sucker bets. As Harry Anderson put it "if somebody comes up to you on the street and bets you that the queen of diamonds will jump out of this deck of cards and spit cider in your ear, and you take that bet, don't be surprised if you get a wet ear."
And remember I'm hoping to lose my $5. The entertainment value is worth $5 easy.

As Harry Anderson put it "if somebody comes up to you on the street and bets you that the queen of diamonds will jump out of this deck of cards and spit cider in your ear, and you take that bet, don't be surprised if you get a wet ear." That would actually be the character "Sky Masterson" quoting his father in "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown," a short story in Damon Runyon's collection entitled "Guys & Dolls" published in 1932, which was the basis of the musical comedy of the same name 20+ years later. Marlon Brando played "Masterson" in the film version, which co-starred Frank Sinatra as the hapless floating crap game promoter "Nathan Detroit."
