Would you take 100k or flip a coin for 10 million dollars?

[coachTanthony]

Take the 100k

Flip for 10 million

[JacobJordan]

fun fact. there is a 50.8% chance that the coin will land on the same side it started might not seem like much but on a smaller scale the odds are actually higher. when done on large scale it averages down to 50.8%. test was done with nearly 400k flips meaning an additional 3,200 times (roughly) it landed same side it started. so your odds of winning a single coin flip are actually pretty good

[Daniela1982]

Just make sure they use the trick coin that always lands on heads.

[Bricealan]

I'll take the $100,000, as that will complete all the re-modeling I'm doing in my "now paid for home"

Hang on a minute, Coach, let me call A&M Construction, my contractor, and get the estimates, ... when did you say I get the $100,00 ?

[purplepoppy]

100k is guaranteed 10m is not hence by simply being offered the choice you already own the 100k and by extension could lose it. I'd always wonder if I'd win the toss but logically it's better to take the 100k. A bird in the has and all that.

[7Phoenix7]

100k because it's guaranteed and I can make more money with it.

[WindAtMyBack]

100K

I have always believed the saying that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". If I did the coin toss and lost, I'd be kicking myself over it and asking myself why I was so stupid.

[electromagnetic]

I’ll take the guaranteed 100k. I can only flip, turn, invest and yield the 10m over a period of years.
50/50 could mean, I’m halfway there for left with nothing and no starting capital.

[molonski2]

Purely based on the odds involved , I'm flipping the coin -- 10 / 1 for 1 mill , its 10 mill , so as much as I would like the 100k , the odds are actually in my favour , and this is a lifetime amount of money.

[Daniela1982]

I started out with nothing so lose nothing if the coin flips the wrong way.

[sawno]

Ill take the 100K, thats 2/3's of a house in the normal housing market. Right now it would put me half way there.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

10 million is a life changing amount of money. But so is 100k, if I invest it right. I’d so love to have that money period lol

[BoopBoopBeep]

Tax free box of 100k? I'll take it and grow it.

If I have to pay taxes on it, F losing half, I'll flip the coin.

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao

[genericname85]

assuming when the coin flip fails, i get nothing?

[coachTanthony]

correct.

[genericname85]

ok in that case i'll take the 100k. cause having 100k is better than failing to get 10 million. i understand mathmatically that is stupid but i know my luck with these things.

[slatyb]

Another 100K just means I can retire a bit earlier. Ten million would mean that I could retire very well right now.

[slatyb]

Have you read "Thinking Fast and Slpw"?

If I really had a coin flip for $10 million or nothing, I could sell it for something quite close to $5 , million.

[NathanDavis]

50/50 on the mills...

that's more of a thrill

[FreyaRed]

50/50 chance for work free life is more tempting than a shitty Tesla.

[Nikki1989]

I have no use for 100K. I will take a chance on the 10 million.

[ChicoFromThe305]

The 100k, I can do something with that and make more money

[Staximus]

I'll go for 10 mil if I'm the one who flips the coin. We used to gamble in middle school by flipping quarters.

[douride2]

I think I will take the 50/50 chance on the million.

[douride2]

OOPPS take a chance on the 10 million.

[Ben487]

I'd take the coin flip. 100 K wouldn't be life changing money but 10 mill would be.

[Anonymous]

Flip a coin. A 100k doesn't impress me. If you asked 20 year old me I'd have taken the safe 100k. But a 100k isn't going to improve my current financial position today much.

[AviatorTom]

I'm okay financially, not rich but okay. Let's go for the 10 million, and if I win (50-50 odds), my favorite charity will get a new hospital wing for the kids

[Likes2drive]

Well, it’s a 50-50 chance and 100 K is not life-changing but the 10 million is

[Sparkie460]

I'm going to take the 100k and run. I'm horrible on coin tosses
