Someone gives you $1000. You have two options -

[acri1]

Option 1: Pocket the $1000 and go home.
Option 2: Flip a coin. If it's heads, you get $10,000 rather than the $1000. If it's tails, rather than getting the $1000, you owe $3000.


The coin flip is fair - no cheating allowed and if it doesn't go your way you have to pay up. Which option do you take?

Eating the 1000

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

There's literally no downside to just taking the 1k.

Taking the risk on the 10k won't just leave you with no money, youll be in a WORSE position than if you said no to both offers.

I would flip the coin, I’m a gambler

PUTTING UP $4,000 TO WIN $10,000 ON A 50/50 BET IS PRETTY GENEROUS ODDS

U NOT GETTIN THAT IN VEGAS

Anybody that takes the flip is an idiot

Yeah, thats what i was thinking. I would take the risk. I can afford to eat the 3K though, i'd just take the sure thing in the 1K if i was less stable

 

[lowkey0z]

i've never been big on gambling

 

[beenz]

I despise gambling, so I take the bird in the hand.

[Armchair Militant]

I hate losing more than I like winning. Give me the 1000.

Rather play the long game than a coin flip
