$1 million cash or a chance to win $1 billion on a coin flip?

[StopDucking]

You only have 15 seconds to decide after reading this sentence.

Spoiler

Time's up. What did you choose and why?

EDIT: for people living in NYC or San Francisco, make it $2 million if you want. You guys are crazy mofos, lol.

1 millions cash, more than enough to put you in a great place for the rest of your life

 

[MixMartialFarts]

I'd take the mil.

 

[Mike]

1 million cash easy. That's enough to do the things I want and be somewhat comfortable for life. I'd never get over the rage if I lost the coin toss and I'm not a lucky person.

 

[shunyata]

Cash out.

 

[Smokes]

Let's flip it.

 

[Ballsaque]

Obviously the billion. Expected value, amateurs.

 

[jojoRed]

Easily take the coinflip for a billion. A million wont make a huge change to your life especially with the current inflation and prices on property. A billion is generational wealth....

It is if you know how to invest.

 

[StopDucking]

Fyi: $1 million is $2,778 per month over 30 years if you wanna quit your job, which I wouldn't recommend.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

Coin flip for me. The million after taxes isn't much.

The billion is necessary. Actually half a billion.

I'll get another sherdogger to come up with the opposite of what I choose and make a deal that no matter who wins we'll split 50-50.

Oh so you can live off the tiny % of dividends?

Dont think you understand the difference between a billion and a million. Youll live comfortably on a million, you'll live like a king with a billion. Gimme the fifty fifty.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

i would recruit investors to hedge the coin flip.

 

[Zinger]

Money ruins people, and I'd rather get ruined by more money than I'd be able to spend in my lifetime, and not end up like a bum, eventually crawling on my knees begging for forgiveness to people who I've turned my back to.

I'd take a shot at the billion or continue my life the way I am now. I'm not good with managing large sums of spare money. I'd find a way how to piss away a million quickly and wastefully.

 

[StopDucking]

If we go by math, not picking the coin flip is illogical but I would still take the cash. Funny how our brain works.

 

[GeorgeO]

Yup, I would take that million and run to the crypto thread

 

[plataoplombo]

The cash, at least you're leaving with something.

This.

 

[Pliny Pete]

I choose the cash without hesitation
A bird in the hand everytime...

 

[Otto!]

I’ll take the sure thing. A million would be plenty, as I am retired and mortgage-free.
