well that's easy, how much is the value of someone kicking you very hard in the balls without them being permanently damaged?
if you live another 50 years, this amounts to roughly $9000 per kick in the balls. even factoring the randomness of the kick (its more hurtful since you can't really prepare yourself against it), i think many people would take $9000 for a kick in the balls, provided they know there won't be permanent damage.
and that's if EACH KICK gives you $9000. If you get the $500million up front, it's a really easy decision, because the rest of your life you can spend having so much fun that it easily outweighs the inconvenience of the ball-kicking, which you would probably get used to after a few years. No. The marginal usefulness of 9000$ is falling in the amount of money you have. Say you have 1.000.000 $ would you still let yourself be kicked in the balls for 9k? No. It's called marginal utility in economics. And yes your are correct after you had enough to live on getting kicked in the nuts for $9000 would lose appeal, after a few mill you wouldnt do it for 1000000 a kick  But I think this is an all or nothing deal. Yeah, I'm studying economics myself (partly). Just wanted to show, that Hotbit's reasoning was bs.
It is also flawed from a finance perspective, since (I assume) you are paid the money up front, hence you need to factor in the time value of money :p
I voted no, assuming that they are decent kicks and you don't get used to it as all the nerves down there die. Couldn't bear the anticipation of when the next kick comes...

Wouldn't do it.

How about 30x kicks a day and 5.000.000.000 €, 300x and 50 billion?
Where is your limit? :p

500 mil? :O
Hell yes!
I would also take that deal for 50, even 5 million.
|
I wonder if women would take 500 mil or the pain of giving birth twice a month for 2 days randomly..
theory.. getting kicked in the balls hurts more ^_^

LOLOL
Second.

ez. I've been kicked in the balls before. Bring it on.
|
So it looks like half of the community doesn't have balls to do such thing...
oh wait, maybe that's why they would

I feel the kicking part is overshadowed here. If I just get instant pain in my nuts 3x every day, I could probably take it. But if there actually is a guy that only I can see, I would turn in to a fucking wreck. You see him walking across the room, and you know whats coming, but you can't hide.
But then again it depends on the ghost. What if it is DRG that shows up every day I maybe could take it. On the other hand maybe Newt Gingrich would be tough.
Worst case scenario would be a new ghost each time, then I would have to pass. You cant trust anyone.
It could be your mom,
it could be The Dude,
it could be average Joe,
or Gretorp.

I wouldn't do it. It's just to much pain to take in twice a day. I have hurten my balls really bad twice, once by a full strike kick right on the nuts and the second time was just an normal day accident. But I cringe everytime I think about it because I still remember the pain.
And to go around everyday knowing that you will have that pain twice a day but not knowing WHEN would just make me go mad and I wouldn't be able to enjoy my life and my money. If I got that money by getting kicked in the nuts twice a day for maybe a week only and I had to give them away for charity and stuff like that, I think I could put up with it because of how much good you could do to other people with that much money.

Back in high school I saw a guy kicked in the balls while bench pressing and boy did he scream. He rolled on the floor for almost 10 mins after that. I've also seen an assistant Tae Kwon Do instructor accidently kicked hard in the balls while sparring he threw up and was on the floor for half an hour.
That said, heck no.
|
So much pain 3 times a day. No, I would not do it. Even with infinite funds, it would be such a terrible way to spend your life.
Just imagine, getting kicked in the balls in the most awkward places possible.

Haha funny that i had such strange thoughts too 
I would probably take it, but im glad i dont need to decide, especially if i had a family I would take it even if it would ruin my life
|
I would definitely go for it! I mean, think what you could do with about 30k a day for the next 50 years! That would outweigh being kicked in the nads in my eyes!
|
After a load of time of getting kicked in the balls you get balls of steel and you dont feel it anymore ;D so yea i would do it for 500 mill

An easy choice for masochists? Anyway, here's a video of a (I assume shaolin) monk training his balls.
+ Show Spoiler +
Around 1:00 you'll see the guy in blue warm up his ball kicking motion, survey for a nice angle and proceed to wail at the other guys balls. Looks like it still hurts, but providing you have the discipline it could be possible to withstand several consecutive blows.
The problem is that in the OP scenario, the blows are random. You can't even plan your day around it. I'd say if I knew I was going to get kicked in the balls at 12pm sharp I could account for it by finding comfortable place to be.

step 1 : accept deal
step 2 : hire army to prevent you from getting kicked in the balls
step 3 : hookers & blow but no one else on earth can see the person who kicks you in the nuts. he's like a ghost who materializes only for that split second you are getting kicked in the nuts. the rule is that no one can see him kick you in the nuts, not "no one can see you" see what you are doing is assuming, when it is a x for y deal, it is 100% in the text. It states (paraphrased) that no one can watch the action take place. So, simply always have someone watching you after a day you'll break the cycle and your foe shall leave.
Derp.
It's not "you can't get kicked in the public" but "the assailant is invisible to the general populace". You're going to get kicked in the balls no matter what regardless of where you are and no one can see the person who does it. You can't have any form of protection and you're getting nailed HARD.
Every day, you're awoken by a kick in the balls. And at 2 random points in the day you're kicked in the balls.
There's no way of getting out of this deal. The person kicks you hard. No one else can see this person. You can't wear a cup or anything.

Such an easy decision. Use the 500 million to have experimental surgery to have your consciousness transferred to an immortal robot body. Your dead body gets kicked in the balls three times a day, nbd, and you're immortal

That's quite a bit of pages to read through. If it hasn't already been considered, think of this: If no one else can see it, chances are high that you'll be in a public area when this would occur. At which point people will wonder what is going on with you, and many possible things will occur:
a) Ask that you go see a doctor.
b) Think you're insane.
c) Think you're a weird attention-whore.
Initially this would be a minor inconvenience, but then the attention to your condition will become overwhelming. Scientists will want to study this strange phenomenon, religious practitioners will wish to exorcise the demon from you, and individuals that are cynical will berate you constantly. Some folks may be undestanding enough to just let it pass, but you'll probably have to live as a shut-in for the majority of your life.
