Red. I'm too poor to take any chances.

Red button is worth $1 million ... green button is worth $50 million

Green every time. My life changes, but not by much with 1 million. 100 million is a different ball game.

Why?
It says you can only push one of the two buttons-- not that you can only push it once to produce the results.
I'd hammer on the red button like a kid playing their first video game.
With that logic, wouldn't you eventually hit 100 mil multiple times if you kept pressing the green?

green.
i ain't got shite before i hit the buttons, so what if i ain't got shite after.

I hit this one!

Red. I will be comfortable either way and 100% chance of comfort is better than 50% chance.

Well I have absolutely terrible luck so probably red. I would be sick knowing I could have had 1 million and walked away with nothing.

In theory, eventually-- though you are always assuming the risk of an ever diminishing chance of -0- as an outcome. Yes, it falls rapidly, but -0- never becomes an impossibility, no matter how many times you hit the green button.

Expected Value of hitting green is $50 mil

Put one on top of the other and you get both prizes with one press

$1MM isn't life changing. $100MM is. Green

If you can only press one button once, then I'm taking the million. With halfway smart investment you'd be set for life.

This is a simple probability question.
100% * 1,000,000 = 1,000,000
50% * 100,000,000 = 50,000,000
50,000,000 > 1,000,000
Select green.
100% * 1,000,000 = 1,000,000
50% * 100,000,000 = 50,000,000
50,000,000 > 1,000,000
Select green.

you dont receive 50 million for pressing the green. why dont you understand that? its a chance for 100 million
Posted on 11/22/16 at 4:56 pm to Hook Em Horns
I never said anything about $50 million.

No the red button is worth 1 mill every single time no matter what.
The green button is either worth NOTHING or its worth 100 mill.
How lucky do you think you are? Might wanna take emotion out of your decision before you push that button...
Posted on 11/22/16 at 5:11 pm to JOHNN
I took all emotion out of it. That's why I would choose green. Bc the estimated value of pushing green is $50mil while estimated value of red is only $1mil
Posted on 11/22/16 at 5:12 pm to TechDawg2007
Red. With an instant milion I can make 10 million
With 10 million i can make 100 million
With 10 million i can make 100 million
