should i take the options?

I have been offered 1,500 options in SBP at .5c each. That means they want $7.50 out of me. So I need some advice. Is this the best way for me to spend my $7.50? I mean there are plenty of other things I could do with that money. I could by 3 pots of carlton down at the pub, I could by a ticket in Thursday night's lotto ($9 million jackpot!) or I could launch a takeover bid for KCG, (that would get me 50% of the shares, wouldn't it?)

All advice cheerfully accepted (where anatomically possible)

regards,
Fred
