Thread 938362540

Ok, you get to choose to press one of these buttons once. However, there's another person waiting in line behind you, and he will always press the other button.

Which is more upsetting?
>press green
>get 1 mill
>other guy presses red
>gets 100 mill
or
>press red
>get nothing
>he presses green
>gets 1 mill

I press both buttons. He fucks my anus and we both cum.

100 mill idgaf what the other guy gets

>>938362540 (OP)
Even if it's not rational, the 2nd is much more upsetting

Winning millions of dollars is a terrible thing, because then there's millions of niggers asking about it. I would want to press the button that leads my priorities into expressing itself in the least niggery way possible.

>>938362748
It's a bit rational though. At least you get a million in the first one. You just get to see that you could've been the one walking about with 100 million. In the second case, you get nothing, and get to see how dumb you were for gambling on red.

>>938362797
So you're trying to not win anything?

>>938362540 (OP)
Green button. Guaranteed $1mil wpuld be enough to solve all my current problems and make sure I can give my kid a good start in life.

You gamble on the 50/50. None of you are talented gamblers I see.

>>938362540 (OP)
50/50, ai am either 100 million dollars richer and can do something with the money or I have what I have today at no loss. 1million will just be spent on trying to make more money and wasted.

>>938362540 (OP)
Get to doesn't mean I have to. I push none. Money is for parasites. And I don't want what I haven't earned.

>>938364053
>t.poor and ignorant

>>938362540 (OP)
what's the point of the thread?
studying btards' risk-aversion or levels of misanthropy? or do you just wanna see who can multiply probability and value?

>>938362540 (OP)
>50% chance of $100MM = $50MM value
>100% chance of $1MM = $1MM value
I dont care how it makes you feel, you're a fucking retard if you don't hit the red button. Would you rather have $1 or $50? There's your answer.

>>938364053
>leaving free money on the table
moronic
let me guess. you are a germ, am I right?

>>938364284
learn about attitudes towards risk. that's the basis of gambling and insurances.

>>938362540 (OP)
>there's another person waiting in line behind you
how many more people will get a chance to press the button? the whole world?
then all that money you just conjured out of thin air would crash the planet's entire economy.

>>938364330
>I dont care how it makes you feel, you're a fucking retard if you don't hit the red button
I meant what i said. I don't care how big of a pussy you are, you're a fucking retard not to take 50x for free

>>938364488
allow me to construct a scenario: you are in debt to the mafia. they want $1M from you tomorrow or else you sleep with the fishes.
how do you like that risk?

>>938364632
to spell it out.
red button: 50% you die, 50% you avoid your scheduled death and you got an extra $99M
green button: 100% you avoid your scheduled death
the red button would be playing russian roulette with 3 bullets.

>>938363836
What the heck is this nonsense? You can only have "talent" as a gambler if there is some skill involved like the ability to bluff in poker or count cards in blackjack.

>>938364488
Boy do you have a fucked up understanding of expected value

>>938362540 (OP)
Sign a legally binding contract with the guy behind me that we both split what we each receive from our button push. Push the green button. At the very worst I get $500k. At best I get $50 million which is more than enough to live easy for the rest of my life

>>938364632
You make my point for me. Only a fucking retard would find himself in debt to the mafia for $1MM, and he's your champion of pressing the green button. I accept your concession of defeat.

>>938364126
>>938364293
Both buttons ask to be what gives.

red button then use my rage or wealth to kill the other person

>>938365384
>ask to be what gives
Wut?

>>938362540 (OP)
Green button and pay the guy 50k to hit the red button.

>>938363906
>1million will just be spent on trying to make more money and wasted.
Only if you're retarded and gay.

>>938364053
Unless you kill some gay-ass CEO or president, your self-sacrifice means nothing.

>>938362540 (OP)
I don't need 100 millions. My life will not really be much better with 100 millions than with one.

>>938367752
This is why you'll always be a cuck and never like Trump, who gets to fuck the entire country. Never settle with less. Nothing is ever enough until you get to micromanage every part of the entire world. And if you die without deciding literally everything everyone on earth does every second, you're a failure.

>>938362540 (OP)
2, I guess, but it's my retarded decision that's upsetting.

>>938364958
this is right. what i was thinking

I sell shares of the bet at 30cent for the dollar. Cash 30 million and press the red button. The second guy get only 1 million

>>938362540 (OP)
>Press green
>move to Thailand
>1 million is instantly worth 20 million
>use 50% max for housing
>Put 50% in stock and let it accumulate wealth over time
>live off my dividend
Lmao, there is nothing I can do with 100 million that I couldn't do with 1 million in Thailand or any other Asian or Latin American country.
That's why I would be a complete retard if I'd take the 50% risk of ending up with nothing at all.

So option 2 is the most upsetting. You'd only pick 1 if you're a greedy and/or jealous person

>>938362540 (OP)
Life is good. I dont need the million. I press read. I have 50% life is good. And 50% life is great. Can't loose.

I'd push green and then continue to live my life a normal, but without any monetary stresses. I'd just coast on easy mode.

>>938369554
but what if it hits?

>>938370733
Why would or should I care?
It's not about whether or not it hits. It's about if the 1 million is enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life.
Think of it like cars. Would you rather have 1 rolls royce or 100 rolls royces?
The answer should be 1, because you'd have no use for the other 99.
And if that's the case then why bother with the other 99?

>>938362540 (OP)
I’ll take the million. I don’t give a shit, it’s a million more then I have now.

>>938362540 (OP)
I hit the green button for the guaranteed 1 mil, pay off my house, fund my next build and then sell my house to pay off the build loan. Invest the rest of the cash, I would be living well.
I wouldn't be upset at all if the next guy got $100mil, I would pat him on the back and laugh a bit.

Get 1 million, invest, live off dividends, easy life.

>>938362620
If you're smart you do this and collude to share $101 million

Pushing red should automatically strip you of voting rights.
You're really not what we're looking for in civil society.

>>938372448
This. I don’t need charter jet money I just need first class ticket money.

I'd rather have $1,000,000 guaranteed than $0
