I don't know if this is a common counter-argument or not, but you have to be very careful with your suicide, so that the next most likely outcome is not to give you horrible permanent injuries. It seems to me that if the whole multi-universe theory is correct, then at the end of your life, the next most likely outcome to death is another painful last gasp. And another. And so forth..
Also, many people include the happiness of others in their utility function and a quantum suicide would do harm to your friends and family.
If you have worked out the suicide correctly, you should also make bets that you're going to survive. If you lose, you've lost nothing, and if quantum suicide works then you come out richer.
This idea feel a lot like manifesting/affirmations to me.
That doesn't require quantum suicide. It's a good idea regardless.
Unless, of course, you care more about your next of kin having the money than you, but in that case, why are you waiting until you die to give it away?
Does anyone know where they do that? The reverse (life insurance) seems oddly more common.
