The Dude

Zen Slacker Sage

You ask

“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”

Man, that's a lot of ifs and buts. Look, sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you, so I wouldn't sweat the whole safe-versus-bet thing too hard. If the idea's really tying your room together, roll it, but keep enough for White Russians and league fees.
