20k guaranteed or coin flip for 100k?

Hypothetical not involving jolly ranchers.
You're on a game show and this is the deal:
There is $20,000 cash in front of you. You can take the cash and go home if you'd like OR you can flip a coin one time for $100,000 cash.
Personally, I flip the coin.

Flip. 20k is ok, but not life changing.

Odds say you flip coin

20k cash. Max out an IRA and Could enjoy my last year in college while only working 20 hrs a week instead of 60.

I'll take the 20. I'll turn it in to 200k within a year.

Exactly. If it isn't life changing you have to play the odds. If the amount is life changing the 50/50 odds are worse than the 100% chance of a life changing but smaller amount.

You're right. It would be a shitty coin flip to lose though. I feel like having nothing at stake changes my view a little on the whole odds thing too.

Then you go to the roulette wheel and bet on green.

$20k. I suck at gambling, even with those odds.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:08 pm to DrownEmTide
Give me the 20k
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:09 pm to DrownEmTide
How many jolly ranchers (weight in lbs) could I buy with $20k vs 100k?

Take my chances flipping a coin
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:10 pm to DrownEmTide
I'll pay someone $100k if these stupid arse "do this or get this amount of money" threads.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:10 pm to DrownEmTide
I'd flip the coin. If you said 20m or 100m, I'd take the 20m. I get the percentages, but 20m is enough for me and all my family to live happily forever. Not sure how the extra 80m would improve that.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:10 pm to DrownEmTide
$45k and we flip.
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:11 pm to DrownEmTide
Flip. I'm not poor
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:13 pm to SPEEDY
In Mississippi it is
Posted on 6/30/16 at 8:14 pm to DrownEmTide
I would flip. I mean, frick. What's the big deal with taking one month's pay up-front? This is the OT. Amirite?
