Nuh-uh, I've played enough gacha. Unless it's a 99.9% chance of $100k, I'll take the smaller amount.

Hmm, guaranteed cash, or a 85% chance to get nothing?
I'll take the easy money, no question about it.

I could use 10k more than I could use 0.

The odds would probably need to be at least 50% for the 100k for me to consider the gamble.

I'm surprised at the results. Would 10k really impact you so much you'd be willing to pass up on the bigger amount?

It's a "slight" bonus where as 100k is potentially life changing if used correctly

If you look at the probability then the 100k is in fact the better choice

$10,000 and I'd be debt free and life would no longer be challenging. Guarenteed.

$100,000. Very nice fantasy. Life would no longer be challenging, but the scenario has a slim chance of happening.

I'll take the $10,000.

85% chance of nothing versus 100% chance of $10,000. It's a no brainier.

but if you take the 15% chance and get it, not only will you have 100k, you will also be a legend in the history books for picking the 15% and winning!

You sound like the type who'd blow through their monthly salary in minutes by betting on the zero at the roulette table.

$10,000 would be life-changing for me, as I would be debt free, and could begin saving/investing money.

Yes

10k wouldn't like change my life, but it'd be a nice buffer to have with my new truck payment.

To put it in perspective, I'm on disability and survive on about $1000 dollars a month.

And I tend to stash around 250 to 500 of that into savings.

So yeah, I'm pretty broke but I could do a LOT with 10k because of how I've learned to survive.

He's not wrong when you look at the expectation value

That said, 10k is the better choice

Someone is a little out of touch. For a lot of people 10K is a lot of money that would help them immensely. I would agree it's really not that much cash, but there's a lot of people out that it would really help.

Send me 10k if that's the case.

15% is too low for my taste. I'd rather the guaranteed 10k that I know I could put to good use, over getting nothing.

The median personal income in the US is in the low 30 thousands per year. So a guaranteed 10k would be a big deal to most people in the US.
