Let's say you join a give away with other user and both have to select a number between 1 and 10, you go for 7 while he goes for 9. The winning number is 8.

If the prize is 0.1BTC what would you do? Split the prize and walk away with 0.05 or Reroll to gamble for the full prize?

Split the prize, though big prize for one person is more exciting but I'd consider it would be fair for both people who win the give away. It's too selfish if there's a person who force to reroll to get a single winner, I think get 0.05 is also worthy since we're not doing anything except choose the number.

I ever win a give away on the other social media about Bitcoin price prediction, I give 10% of the winning amount to lucky players who selecting 1-100 numbers and I will pick randomly for 10 users.

This case needs to be logical more than greedy and logic says it is better to get 0.05 and then decide if I want to continue or not.It is better to have money in my own pocket,wallet in this case and then decide what to do than continue to gamble having some questions if you will win or not.The bigger the prize the better I know but in this case as I said the logic and rationality should prevail in a normal human being and that says get your money in your pocket first and then decide what to do.

Reroll. 7 and 8 differ from 9 in the same way as from 1 or 4 - they are completely different numbers. If, according to the conditions of the giveaway, it is necessary to guess the number, and not the number as close as possible to some other number, then you need to make a reroll.
In general, I think that everything should be discussed in advance - sometimes after the draw there are nuances and everyone interprets them in their favor, this leads to unnecessary disputes and insults.

Since this is a giveaway i'd probably take my chances on the reroll for the full prize since there's not much risk involved for the participants aside from the prize. But, if the participants paid some sort of fee then i'll go with the prize split knowing it's better to secure some money than to walk away with nothing at the end.

I guess both parties have to agree, however, if I would to choose, I will just go for the split as 0.05 is already a decent amount, and since it's just coming from a giveaway, I am already be thankful winning that amount since I didn't risk anything.

In principle, this is a very philosophical question ... For me, it would depend very much on the living conditions. 0.05 BTC is already a year's salary for many people worldwide, but many in Western countries would hardly notice 0.05 BTC. These people then probably play other games of chance with much higher amounts "just for fun". So if I were dependent on the money I would accept the price splitting, if not I would probably take the risk and hope for the full profit.

If I were personally in the situation I would take the 0.05 BTC and donate it.

This will surely received a split answer because of people preferences. But the main important things here is the size of the reward. People will surely pick split if the reward is considered huge for them personally while choose reroll if they think that the prize is too small for them to split.

For me, that 0.1BTC is already a huge amount so definitely I will choose split the prize unless the organizer will offer to double down the price for the reroll.  :D

It seems to me that if there are only two participants in the game, the winnings should be the sum of their bets, since it is a zero-sum game. That is, the first participant makes a bet of 0.05 BTC and the second participant makes a bet of 0.05 BTC. From this it follows that it is not rational to take away each of the bets and it is necessary to make a roll until the winner is determined.

If the participants do not make any bets, it is better to divide the winnings.  

if the contest stated that whoever chooses the winning number wins.

then they both didn't win because neither of them chose the correct number.

so, in that case, i'd announce the contest with no winners and do another round.

I'd be practical and take the split. The re-roll will be a big gamble and I would rather take my chances on a fresh roll and a different amount.
Most re-roll is a loss, based on my experience.
I do this on slots too like the one I tested before where there's a chance to increase the winning amount by challenging the bot with a card game system or just take whatever the amount was given. I tried it like 10 times and I won 2/10 only. I decided to just avoid the card game every time it pops out.

I am confused, would you mind elaborating? I mean, why would they split the price when none of them chose the winning number? wouldn't they have to do a reroll by default since no one won? was there a rule stating that if no one picked the winning number then whichever number is closest to the winning number will win? then, if so, picking to split the prize is a great choice but if the participants cannot change the number they have picked then, I'd go for a reroll since I picked 7 and have more chance of winning than the other guy who picked 9.

It would depend on the rules of the giveaway set by the manager, but if I had to choose I would prefer to split the prize between the two gamblers who reached closest to the picked number. I think there is no reason to be greedy desiring the whole prize for yourself, while you can share it with someone else and still receive a very decent amount of money. Both sides win in the end, everyone is happy because they are going to enjoy their prize!

The numbers are big enough to let the fun last longer but in the end got nothing, I'd go with BTC0.05 if conditions allowed.
I think I will still be able to control my greed. It's free roll anyway,  I can spend longer those prizes playing elsewhere, lol.

"Opportunity Luck does not come twice"

Just split. The chances of me not getting anything after the reroll is high, so why would I take my chances when I can just walk away with more than what I have right now? Besides, if the bet amount for this is low, it's hard to pass up this win in reality. Better be thankful than be greedy.

Sometimes they say to be wise is preferred in certain things like this one. I will choose the part of being wise to split the stake money because there is no guarantee that second roll will be my favour, although it is suppose to be a game of luck but if it turns out like this is better to split. For a chronic addict player I believe splitting won't be an option. I have experience this kind of dilemma in a snooker game where two players came into tie on the bet they went and one player suggested to split and each will take back their stake money to go their way and the other refused, they continued on the next round of betting and it happened that the guy who earlier suggested a split happen to be favoured to win and the other guy that refused the split lost out but he didn't regret his decision because he is a chronic addict gambler. Just like I said a chronic gambler may likely not want a split in the situation.

Grab the opportunity when it hits you, seriously do you feel going to risk the won reward to risk for winning the maximum reward!

I am never going to be that much greedy and seriously even the half prize can make you feel satisfied so just split, walk and have fun.

I understand what you mean, it should be Re-roll.
Well, If it's possible to split the prize, to be honest I'll take that opportunity and walk away maybe keep my prize for another gambling next weeks. And if there already a rules with that is only one winner then I must to be ready for Re-roll, gambling giveaway definitely has challenges, if not so wouldn't be interesting right.

Sometimes gamblers lose their minds, they are controlled by greed, many fellow bets lead to disaster, it's all caused by dishonesty in sharing the prizes they get in winning bets.

It's clear that the giveaway is an activity and has requirements, for that, if I will of course share the 0.05 prize and the rest I will bet again in gambling, Of course it's my risk without charging the distribution prize.

I guess it really depends on the mindset of the person involved. If he doesn't want to be greedy and just wanted to have the prize then the individual should go for a split. But in any case he wanted the full prize and as a single winner, then reroll to hat that 0.1 BTC. You can call it greedy, but sometimes the mindset of a gambler is very different, I mean they won't be a gambler if they won't take that risk, go big or go bust attitude.

I'll agree to split the prize if the other winner is suggesting that. Well, it should be a mutual agreement and it's better to be happy with other people if you're both eligible with the prize than to reroll it and might just lose it.
The mindset that I have is to share it and be happy together because the risk isn't gone if I reroll it and that prize even if it's the half share, it could be wasted and opportunity might be gone and both of us will just lose it.

I just look at the initial result of the poll and majority says to split so I will go with that as well. Of course, we will want to gamble and take the win, but I guess there's nothing wrong for splitting the prize (as long as the other party is willing). So that in the end, you will have something in your pocket when yo go home. Or at least have the capital when you feel going to play with that money that you just won. And who knows, you might win more money because you have the capital and from that purse split.

Would depend on the one who runs up the give away, whether they are re-rolling to seek off to the one who do make a hit or would consider out on one roll and if someones doesnt able to hit
then the nearest pick would be chosen.If the management would decide on that then there's nothing you can do.You cant really ask out some re-roll or being final
because it would be always on their own preference on how things should be done.

Its not bad on having a split up for having a fair and square picking but if you are somewhat greedy then you would definitely asking for a re-roll and would like
to get that 0.1.

If I'm in the position, then I will go for re-roll (which I voted). There is nothing like just a true winner without having to split the prize with someone and so I will go with it.

And although the majority responded with the split and not greedy, there is nothing wrong with it as well. But everyone has a different mindset and it just go happen that I will take that one risk to get home the price, just saying, hehehe.

I will reroll because in every contest there must be a winner and it is a give away so nobody is losing. Reroll will also make the contest interesting since everybody is on suspense and will love to see the winner. 50/50 is like you don't want to win.

 Though if the two parties are OK with walking away with 0.05BTC then it's a fair play,sometimes fair play is better than not having anything due to miscalculation of the possibilities.

If this is a giveaway I think you can split it into two, better to have something than nothing. But if the scenario this is not a giveaway I rather re roll it so it could be fair for me or fair for him. If he is really destined to win that game he will gonna win in the second draw. Since it is a giveaway it's okay for me to split it, I will get mad if I will not get a free money and I'm not expecting at the first place but I won, so better to take it.

I would prefer to split the prize. We can't deny the fact that all players have the same goal and that's to win a good prize. I won't be greedy to aim for more without any assurance that I will win again. Sharing or splitting the winning amount is fair enough for us to enjoy the result. The prize is big enough though and not bad for two players to share.

Well, right now the poll is 50/50. And both sides have good arguments for their decisions.

The amount of the prize is influencing a lot this decision because 0.05BTC is a good amount to walk away, maybe if the prize amount were irrelevant or low we would see more people choosing the Reroll option.

Thanks for all those who vote, lets see if the result changes in the next hours.

just voted, so now reroll is leading a lil bit. lol i think, to be fair to everyone, just reroll because anyway, it is easy to reroll and should get whatever winning number has been decided. maybe split the prize if you are tight with the schedule but if not, you can easily reroll and get the winning number. at the end, it depends on the goal of the team who is handling the give-away.

I prefer to spilt so we'll have more people happy going home happy not just one winner, and besides the next roll could be different and you end up empty-handed it's still a blessing, and many people should have a share of that, I'm ok sharing the giveaways with other winners, I also experienced this in the past and I'm ok with the result.

If you are really that easy to be contented then you would definitely be dealing up with 50.50 split but not all do really allow such thing and would really like to get the prize on whole amount.
Re-roll is what i do choose up because its true that if you are that lucky then you would definitely be getting the whole amount but if you are really just considering on having money for free
then 0.5 wont really be that bad after all.I agree on what other members mentioned above that it would be depending on the organizer of such giveaway.
They are the ones who do make the final decision if it would be re-rolled or not.

I'm just going to assume the game rule is guessing the right number and the closes could win if nobody got it correctly. I guess I will just have to go for split pot. A win is still a win and you'll never go wrong taking some profit like what you do in trading. There is no need for argument when the money is already in front of you hehe.

I'll go for rerolling since you have nothing to lose here it's a giveaway, what you're going to lose, you did not spend a dime here and there should be one winner, but it's different if I've spent to be in this, I will be preferring to split the prize but since it's free rerolling is a good option but its good if the promoter should be the one to laid out the rules if there should be one winner or there should be a reroll.

I am used to a practice where the winner is the one who has a guess nearer but not under the result so it is ok for me if the winner is the one who goes for 9.  I will accept if the host declares 9 as a winner if I am the one who guesses 7 but if the management offers a split prize then I would gladly accept.



I greatly agree, only a narrow-minded greedy person will contest the decision of a split in this case.  ;D

First of all i would like to know is there any giveaway who is giving 0.1 bitcoins only on guessing a number. Usually, te giveaways are small and no one will give you free 0.1 bitcoins in the form of giveaways. In the above example, i would like to split the prize as 0.05 BTC is a good money and i would be happy to get this amount.

However as mentioned by me, the giveaways are usually small, so in that case i will prefer to reroll and try to win a substantial amount though gamble. Although it is tough, but still one can try his or her luck with small amount of money.



Wow, that's so generous of you to donate the whole money for a charity purpose. I really like this idea and I will prefer to do the same but may not give the whole amount to charity but still give at least 0.01 bitcoin from the 0.05BTC earned. If we help the poor, of course god will be happy and give us more money in return.

Or maybe they're thinking the prize is not that much so they're okay to lose all on a reroll. I bet those who don't want to split will quickly change their mind or answer if the pot changes to 1 bitcoin hehe. I mean who would be crazy enough to turn down thousands of dollars prize money even if it's just from a free giveaway?

Yes, there's nothing to lose and if you dont able to get the prize then you would really be just simply move on and find another one or would simply make out deposit but there are people
who are really that too emotional or something that easy to be touched up on various situations which they cant really accept if they do lost or not being chosen but to consider
that everything was free then it isnt really just right that you would really get angry on it.People who are lucky are the ones would be chosen when it comes to giveaways or
bonuses or raffles or something in related.

I will split the prize and gladly walk away with 0.05BTC with so much excitement in the air. The chance of winning the reroll is 50:50 probability. And been a random number it could end in a number far from the winning number. And this time the organisers too could cheat the system by making the chance of getting closer to the winning number more difficult. I will walk away while and smile at my wallet balance

I mean if the organizer allowed to split the prize since you guys both lost the number (but are one digit pretty close to it), then yea I'd split it. It's still money and I wouldn't really risk losing half of the pool for a small chance of winning. Logically though, why would the split even happen? Especially if you consider how there wasn't any rule of if no one got the number, the winner would be the closest to the winning number. Now if OP said that was in the rules then the conclusion would be sound, but it doesn't seem to be like it.

As a participant of the event, I do think that the host has all the right to decide which path they will take.  If they say split, then it is fine with me the same way it is fine to me if they go for a reroll to know the winner.  But I would choose a split since I do not want to gamble to win the other half.  I am happy for that 50-50 split.

Is it allowed to withdraw the prize right without any conditions or wagered requirements?

If yes, then it's a no-brainer if I will gamble the half. No reason to gamble all such an amount.

Withdraw it then gamble the 1/4 or 1/2 of your winnings and enjoy the rest of it on other things. :)

A win of 0.1BTC to be split by 0.05BTC per individual in a pool is still a decent prize. If it were to be me, I'll walk away with what I've got rather than walk away with nothing as the case often is when you don't realise that you've been lucky and favoured in gambling.
The full prize is never yours, it has never been yours but could be and could not. When there is that probability and there is a win satisfaction, I prefer to leave it be and be happy about my win. There is always another day to try again than to end in grief and regrets. Out of 3 selections, only 1 #8 came through, how much more chances of disappointments before it all comes down to nothing.

Tempting choice.
But I think there's a lot of data missing to decide whether the decision is to walk away with half or keep betting.
If it's a game that's been going on for a long time or if the starting stake is low, it's very prudent to accept splitting the prize and end the game.
However, if the bet has just started or if it was 0.025 BTC or more, I would keep playing to try and win 1BTC alone.

If you get satisfied already I guess having a split is ideal because not other chance that you can get a full prize if you split still you received a profit but if you make another reroll there's a  higher chance that you cant get the same number again for the odds of winnings, it depends on the ideal for a perspective of earning and being greedy. Playsafe to be is I the split.

Main thing to consider before you make your decisions with this scenario is the amount at stake.
Since your example is 0.1 BTC and that is unarguably a good amount to split between 2 people. I might be considering re-rolling if the amount to split on is less than $200. That's my threshold right there.
Nevertheless, with this amount in a current BTC price, you both walk away with almost $1k apiece. A win-win situation for both of you, always.

Being lucky to choose the number close to the winning number itself a big thing. For this reason I won't think of anything more, just split and get the winning. Will there arises such situation, because it is unfair to conduct a draw placing the numbers that weren't chosen by any of the participants.

I prefer to split the prize and go with 0.05BTC because if we replay it, we don't necessarily get 0.05BTC. So it was very rare for the three of us and it was better to each take our share and leave. After all, we can try it another time. Who knows, we might win it. But if the other two players choose to Reroll to gamble for the Wfull prize, we can do nothing but go along with it.

It would depend on the amount. For a very large amount I would prefer to insure and split therefore. Smaller amounts I prefer to risk for the full price because I don't care so much about not getting the price. 0.1BTC is a middle ground for me, although I guess I would opt for trying to get the full price in this case.

i would prefer to split the prize 0.05 for me it would be more fair and not look greedy.
for me if it is too greedy at gambling it will not end well and it will not get a second chance.
maybe at that time he was lucky to get the number 0.05 BTC if he chose to reroll it would not necessarily get what he got before.
expecting 0.1 BTC looks like greed and selfishness which is not very good when done in gambling. luck won't come second time

What are the terms and conditions given about the giveaway? Anything like anyone that has a guess closer to the number would be given the reward? If no condition like that stated, no one wins between the two people because the winning is 8 while the guesses are 7 and 9, which mean no winner. If stated in their terms and conditions like that, another guess would be conducted for two close winners again. But this kind of thing is not likely to happen during this type of guess.

Every giveaway must have its own rules. For the case like you are talking about (a draw), I'm sure it is a common rule and most giveaway/contest/competition will split the prize if the result is a draw. However if there is no rule in the giveaway, I would prefer to split the prize as it is better than nothing. Re roll it means there is a chance for me to get the whole prize or get nothing. I'm pretty sure most people will choose to split it.

It is something that involves, chance and luck, and to own 0.1 BTC in full without having to share it. spontaneously, people will be forced to think quickly in a choice to take the opportunity to be chosen.

I can't answer this question. because after all, I'm not in a situation of choice.
it seems, one has to take into account the chance of getting the giveaway in full. there is a count before choosing to share, this situation is quite dramatic because it involves considerable value.
the question is, what are the chances of someone getting 0.1btc if they choose reroll, if it is not possible to win in full.
then the best option is to share it.

I prefer to split the prize I am a guy who loves to share a pot or prize, there will be not one but more than people that will go home happy 0.05 is already a huge amount if we convert it into our currency that's more than a month of grocery and for paying bills I will be happy to share the giveaways so people will have something to bring home to his family, OP did not give us the terms or the rules but I guess the participants get to decide to reroll or split.

Dice rolling and gambling as a whole should not be played with full assurance and greed because there is no certain means of playing them that could guarantee the winning. This will ever make me reply the same irrespective of the gambling we are talking about. Specifically, when a winning of 0.05BTC is guaranteed, it is better to take the deal, this is reasonable and responsibly in gambling. It is not a must to take the whole winning (0.1BTC), which could make you lose everything. One has to avoid greed and keep good gambling psychology irrespective of the temptation.

But in our case, in the end, not a single user guessed the number that fell out, so it's more like a reroll here, since the prize was not drawn and should remain in the pool, but this is what I think is much more important than what was in the rules in the conditions of the draw. :)

Mainly, I will choose to split the prize between the two of us especially if I know a friend of the other party involved in the giveaway. This way both of us will be able to receive and secure the prize evenly. However, if there is a condition where the closest rolled number will be the winner then logic suggest that a reroll will provide us a higher winning percentage to receive the full prize.

How about splitting the prize and then gamble again and reroll that winning you get? If you have the spirit of a genuine gambler, I'm sure that you'll choose and pick to gamble the whole prize and won't share it.

But for the sake of the other winner, I'm sure that there should be closure for both of you. You've got no choice if he disagrees with what you like so that's it.

In the end, that could result to splitting whether both of you agree or disagrees.

The closest numbers are probably one of the many conditions since they're given an option to split the prize if they prefer to do so but like you've said most giveaways have their own way to settle the situation whenever there are two or more winners.

Yup, and sometimes they'd have other rules like whoever joined first gets the priority. It's very rare to see giveaways or contests where there's no tiebreaker and the winners have to choose if they'd split or not. It does look like most of the responses are taking the split since the prize is still high enough for most of them.

Split the prize ofcourse. The simple reason being that by splitting you at least have the guarantee of getting half of the reward.
If you reroll there are chances that you might not win anything at all. Although there are equal chances of winning the full reward the opposite could happen too.
So basically on one side there's a guaranteed half reward and other side you get full reward but not guaranteed.
So I would definitely choose guaranteed half reward because something is better than nothing.

The question is not easy to answer and depends on several factors. For example, if the other participant wanted the prize as well, a tie might not be ideal for either party. In this situation, you may suggest a different set of rules that makes it clear that there's no need to re-roll.

It would make the most sense to have a mathematical understanding of the rules involved and it also relies on the upfront cost of the game. If it costs 0.05 to enter and the outcome is between two players, then you may as well re-roll or you'd be playing a useless game anyway. Presumably the house would only get paid if there was a successful winner and both players choose to re-roll in this situation. Would the odds change if one player is closer or further away from the winning number? It's a novel possible idea for a new game, but only it would rely on trusting the house that the other party is definitely a player and what would be the outcome of one player did not decide to re-roll.

I don’t get it. The winning number is 8. How is that a win for both of them when they didn’t pick the right one? It should be a reroll in my opinion. Doesn’t make sense that they deserve to win either of them. Is there a condition that isn’t mentioned here? Idk.

Haha, this is a tricky one, but based on my personal experience, I would rather have the price split and walk away with 0.05BTC, it better than nothing at all.

I am just imagining that, what if in the process of re-rolling to try to win the full price, the other party ends up winning and you have to walk away empty, you only gonna end up regretting and wishing you had a second chance to ask that the price be split instead of asking the game be re-roll3d.

But no one really knows if you would win on possible re-roll but if you are that someone who do really stick out on guaranteed things then you would surely be that contented on split prize rather than losing those
amounts on possible re-roll.Well, this is a personal choice but the once who would really be making the final decision is on the organizer of said giveaway, whether he would be closing out via split prize
or would really be liking to see 1 winner.It would really be depending and as for someone who do only just look for some freebies or giveaways then there's nothing you can do
if the organizer will really be the one to make out on whatever decision it would be.

It's better to take home a small profit with a grateful heart than take home nothing with a bitter and regretful feeling. I will definitely share the half with the other winner than to risk in rerolling again without any assurance that I can take home the prize. If given a chance to win, we better grab it than become too greedy because of too much expectation.

I'll go for split the prize, it's already a big amount for me to take home and I would not think of gambling it away for a reroll besides I will be happy to share my prize with other participants if it's a small amount I would have changed my mind and let the lucky guy get the prize, I'm sure the majority of participants will be happy to get a piece of the giveaway.

Being selected as a part of the winner is already difficult in a giveaway therefore I need to grab that share of the pie instead of gambling it to get the full prize. Besides, BTC0.05 is already a good win for that giveaway without risking anything. With that amount, I can already diversify it on other things while still doing my gambling activity at the same time.

It's more regretful if I choose instead to reroll it and in the end, I will not get the full prize. In the event that there's a test after I claimed the half just to know the result of the reroll and I won that test, still the regrets are not that big compare to losing it all.

Reroll for me, you are only 2 person now and I think both parties are fine to risk it all but that's on my point of view only, others may think it's enough at least you got some part of the win but there are individuals who have risky appetite too. Moreover, I think it should be clear the rule/s in the first place since this kind of scenario do happen.

Splitting the prize would be an option for me because we don't need a Replay where we can't necessarily get the amount you mentioned. If each one can get their hands on the prize, 0.05BTC is good money as we will get it very rarely. We can also use that money to continue playing and maybe we can win even more money. It is the best option for gamblers who rarely get wins because they can use the money for other things, including gambling again.

Looks like I am part of the majority that would split the prize with the other gambler instead of rerolling. Usually I am very competitive, but when it comes to gambling I am all about sharing the profits. From my past experiences I know how hard and frustrating it can be to make a profit in gambling. If I have the chance to take a profit and quit then I would do so, if my fellow gambler also gets a profit from it it's great. This would also save from the case that I go for the reroll and lose, then the other user would get it all and I would feel terrible. 0.05BTC is still an awesome winning amount of almost 1k USD today. No need to be greedy and get nothing in the end.

This is very simple if i happens to partake in it, i would definitely split the prize and walk away reason because whenever one applied greed then it bounces to stand a chance of losing everything when trying to reroll or rolling over. With the little prize i have i would give a distance for 24 hrs before trying anything silly again otherwise i may lost all although its giveaway but i won't is better going with half than nothing.

And in the end, we can still enjoy gambling by allocating our BTC0.05 to different purposes. We can take out BTC0.01 on our winnings and use it as a bankroll on our usual gambling. That's already a good amount to start with and if by luck, we can even double it with proper gambling and strategy.

No need to be greedy at all when the profit is already there. Grab it while it's hot instead of crying later because of eagerness to profit more.

Man is a social being.  Man cannot live outside human human society.  Therefore, socialization and communication are very important.  Therefore, based on this, in this situation it is better to share the winnings with the opponent.

You will be connected with him by a common win, and then perhaps you will have common joint projects.  Money is not the most important thing in life.  New acquaintances with interesting people are much more important than money.  Everything good and bad in life usually comes from other people.

Therefore, people need to communicate and contact.  

Therefore, in this situation, I would not show such qualities of character as greed.

In slots or roulettes, there are sometimes options to reroll the win amount on that spin for a chance to make it double. Sometimes if the said win amount on that spin can't be hurt to lose, I always try my luck to gamble that amount.

In that situation you have shared, it's already BTC0.05 guaranteed prize and that was a giveaway. I don't know if someone has the guts to still pursue the full prize. It's already a sure win and should be grabbed right away.

It depends on the agreed rule of the giveaway. None of them actually won because the winning number is 8. If the given rule is that the closest number wins, then it is obvious that it is better to split the prize than reroll. Otherwise, if it is a raffle and no one gets the prize, then it should be rerolled to be fair to others.

If you have a chance to tale the win even if there is another winner then split the prize since this is opportunity already so you need to be contented on the result since if you reroll it then maybe you might lose a chance to win on next roll. So don't be greedy win is win even what figure it is maybe try your luck next time again and see if you can hit a solo win.

From the point of view of the mathematical theory of probability, both options are beneficial to the player.  The second option is essentially a continuation of gambling in order to maximize your winnings.

In roulette, you can also bet on red/black and win/lose with a 50 percent chance.  At the same time, in the second option, there are no casino commissions (there is no zero sector). 

In fact, everything here depends on the ambitions of the player. 

Many people strive for a big win and do not want to be content with a small amount of money to win.  It is reasonable.

That's the thing, we don't have any idea of the condition for the giveaway which is for me the logical thing to do is to reroll as it seems that the closest number will be the winner in which OP has a very high chances of getting.

I think the reward for rerolling is separated and not part of the prize pool since that's optional.

The giveaway guaranteed a prize for winners and that was fixed.

There should be no question of rerolling if originally, the whole pool also covers the supposed double rewards.

How can it be a draw when the winning number is 8? But the participants pick the wrong number. Maybe draw in a sense that both of them are a loser but anyway if I were to choose I will go with you and the majority which is to choose to share the prize to the other winner. Not only that it's more guaranteed but I will also feel happier that the other person have win the game because I am a type of person which is generous.

I always like to share everything I have even if I am not that rich enough. 0.05 btc is already a decent amount and I think I haven't received a single amount like that but I can only reach that amount if ill save every sats that I get and it takes a long time.

That’s a free money already and to avoid conflict, I will go and split the prize. My partner can decide if he will continue to bet or just walk away like me. Though some bonuses or giveaways have a require wage amount, if they allow you to withdraw it then better but if not, I think you still need to follow their instructions until you get that free money. You should also communicate with your partner since it’s just a free money, there should be no conflict.

Indeed low amount is better than nothing. Every Saturday Eddie makes stream on Dlive and for final bonus code viewers are offered to gamble last big amount of bonus drop or take it on strawpool voting website. Majority of users go for let it ride and lose all amount. Depending on odds and game conditions decision of smart gamblers may change, it depends on overall situation, IMO.

It is a simple matter to decide in my judgement as I will want a split than roll again. We must know that gambling is a big risk of chance and may have a single winner after every 100 attempt. It is better to have half of a thing than none of it at all. Half loaf is better than none is the magic thought for me. What if I reroll and lose out completely, I will feel terribly bad about not accepting the half reward when it was offered.

I would split the prize if the other winner also agrees to it. Winning on a giveaway with a mechanics like that has very low odds and is almost similar in winning on a lottery so I don't think there is someone that might want to reroll again if it will also happen to them unless he's really a greedy type of person. You would just lose an opportunity of making some quick bucks if you plan to roll again.

This can be a difficult decision and can cause regret if we are not that careful of the step we are taking to win the overall amount of the price. For me, I will prefer sharing the fund 50 50 so that I can have the share of the money which can go a long way entirely. I am not a greedy person which will want a replay so he can be lucky if possible taking a big risk of 50 50 win or lose. There is not need of bothering myself out taking all the funds but sharing it with the other opponent is better for me so the two of us that smile as being so lucky.

I would just split the prize since it is already a good amount of money and I could buy so many things from that prize.
I don't want to be consumed by my greed anymore just like what happens in the past either it is in gambling or at trading.
I used to aim for a higher profit and end up losing instead of gaining.

I think a re-roll is the right call in that case, in the best case scenario we will be able to plan ahead of any scenario which presents itself, but in the case you are presenting both players seemed to have agreed on a game in which they needed to exactly hit the number in order to win, so at least to me it makes no difference if one of them selected the number 1 while the other selected the number 9 and the actual number which comes out is 10, even if 9 is closer to 10 since that was not really part of the agreed rules then a re-roll is the fairest decision for both parties.

For me it is more ideal thing to do than getting greedy because we make another reroll there's a chance that you don't get the rewards instead of getting the half there's an assurance already that you are one of the winners. But of course if you are a risky taker another game of all or nothing to win the game.

Actually if the closest number will win the full amount then the most ideal choice is to re-roll. Imagine if you roll number from 1-7, you'll be able to win the whole amount since you'll be the closest number to it. Also, if you roll another 8, you can still receive a half prize. The only way you'll lose if you re-roll is when 9 or 10 will be rolled on and that's like 8/10 or 80% winning rate on you.

But still, without knowing the full context as well as the condition of the giveaway, we cannot fully decide wether to split it or to re-roll.

Let's me ask, if you decide to Reroll if the number you select is not close to the winning number will you be given opptunity to Reroll again or that's the last opportunity? Another question is that after the Reroll if the number that I chose is not close to the winning number will I be given 0.05 or I won't receive any amount? I think the answer to those two questions which I asked above will determine if I will work out with the 0.05 bitcoin, or I will still try my luck. But since it's giveaway and I didn't invest any amount then I believe it will be better if i just work away with the 0.05 bitcon because it's a free money to me.

That's true and even though you are a risk taker, you also have to be wise and be able to see the situation before making a decision. Splitting the reward would be the best decision even for a risk taker because 0.05BTC is already the biggest reward he can get. If that person continues thinking that the reward is not very big, that person is greedy ;D

But it is about our assumption based on the @OP case and we do not know the real situation and just say what we feel.

In this case I will choose to split the price and walk away with 0.05 since it's a decent amount already and a sure money, im just being wise. I'd like to enjoy the prize because it's from giveaway and would not ask for more since I might regret it. But of course it depends for each of us because those who like to take risk for a possible better result might choose to reroll again. So it depends if you're contented already or greedy to try your luck.

I usually play it safe when it comes to gambling. That's also the case when I bet on sports. I would rather take the smaller payout with a greater chance to win than go with the big odds where the stars on the sky have to align to predict everything correctly. So I would split the prize if the other person agrees. That way we both get to walk away with some money in our pockets. Both of us were equally close to guessing the correct number, so it's the right thing to do.

If you look at this question with a mathematical approach, there is no difference between the first and second options - on average they will give the same prize distribution. Naturally, if you make a sufficiently large number of attempts. Therefore, in my opinion, there is no "greed/riskiness" or "reliability" option here. Both options are the same and differ only in perception, which is individual for all people. It would be another matter if the question was, for example, to take 0.05 or make a reroll with the opportunity to get 0.11 or, in another variant, 0.09. As you understand here reasoning about risk would be justified.

I think the prize is the best choice for me because I minimize losses if I lose at 0.05 later I will have pocketed half of my previous wins,

I think the matter is simple, it is a kind of gift, so the point is that you leave with something or you leave with nothing, a betting paradox from the social point of view, based on the free bet, then socially you criticize the who loses by not dividing. The conditions can be varied but specifically it is about that, dividing the prize, yes or no.

Let's forget the social stigma, let's bet:
In my case, since it is free, that is, I understand the $0 buyin, the decision does not it should not change if your buy is $1 or whatever the corresponding amount is, the decision is always based on your chances of winning, so you should take the first positive option that results.

Scenarios:
buyin$0 possible prize of 0.1BTC, if I win. / :)
buyin$0 possible prize of 0.05BTC, if I agree split prize. / 8)
buyin$0 possible prize of 0 BTC, if I lose. / :D

Interesting question- it is either you go big or you go home.

I think this would depend on the circumstances of a person. If a gambler wants to receive a winning prize no matter what, then going with the safe choice of splitting might be the ideal answer. But if the gambler wants to gamble for entertainment, adrenaline, and for the money, then experiencing the "go big or go home" choice of reroll is the answer.

Personally, I am a safe guy where I always choose the safest option. I would prefer to split the prize and call it a day and use the proceeds to gamble again in my designated gambling website of choice.

it is better to choose to divide the prize so that it can be fair than to have to repeat when it is not certain that victory will be on our side later.  This reflects the nature of a person in gambling, if he decides to replay, it means that the person's habit is always playing greedily and always being selfish in gambling because he expects a big win that does not necessarily have a chance to win it again.

It is good and enough to ask those questions. The answers to those questions if I have to answer for OP will be no and no. Now you see why it will be better to work away in the first and not be too greedy? Succeeding the first time and getting a prize eventhough it is not the full amount should be taken as a miracle money. Miracle monies do not come twice.

I will split the price and go with  50/50 rather than losing the whole amount.
I am not greedy in money matter - I just like to live within my means.

It will be "beneficial" if the risk amount successfully doubled but how about if the result turned bad?

The moment the chosen number was nailed, that's already a sure and guaranteed prize. There's no need to risk it more just to meet that "beneficial" stage.

But yes, there are risk-takers or those who don't actually care if they lose such an amount. For that, good luck then.

Most are selecting the option of splitting the prize and call it a day.
I can understand this decision as you already assure with the prize money.
But if you re-roll, the chance of getting it the next time around is not that high as it goes from 1 to 10.
If the player has the option to select which one of the choices he wants, splitting will be favorable to him.

This is how gambling works, the more you greed the chances to lose more becomes high and probably instead of going home with a profit, you might ended up losing it. I’ll talk to my partner and will force him to agree and split the reward, I’m not that greedy gambler and making profit like that is already big for me. If the site allows to withdraw it, I will definitely choose that option.

It's easier said than done, I know that's what most people will say but till you are in the condition before you will start thing if you try another Reroll you might be lucky since the first one you did was close. Secondly you said you see not greedy when it comes to money matter but I don't believe that, from the signature you are wearing it means you are greedy, since we all know that the signature campaign have been red flag on the forum and everyone have been warned to avoid the signature campaign, but just because of the money they are paying, you decide to advertise the campaign, and you know that people's money is at risk but you don't care because they are paying you, I think that's also greediness.

Majority have chosen splitting the prize than reroll. My choice will be the same. With gambling you can be a winner or you can end up losing. I've lost big after winning big. This means I've come close to winning, and I wasn't able to enjoy it. So it is always good when we get an opportunity to have some winnings coming closer to the victory line.

Actually, the mentioned amount plays a big role in the decision of the majority.

That's already a BTC0.05 and just do the conversion on how much is it valued in USD now. A good reward for a giveaway.

But if the amount involved is for let's say up to BTC0.003, others might think of risking it on a reroll for a chance to double it.

Well it depends if the people who have plenty of money since for sure he will decide to re roll since that amount is somehow he can afford to lose anyways. But for people who's aiming to win and been settle what figure they receive for sure they accept the fact that they win a small amount then try their luck for next round.

What I'm saying is, the poll result was heavily affected because of the mentioned prize.

0.05btc is something that worthy amount now that's why instead of rerolling, we will take home that amount instead.

But if the prize is lower, I'm sure most people will risk that amount to reroll because after all, no risk money at stake.

In my case if the prize is 0.003 or max 0.005, maybe I will try my chance of reroll. Since it's a giveaway, I didn't put any money on it. Who knows that I can hit that doubled prize for reroll and turned the 0.003 or 0.005 to 0.006 and 0.01 respectively.

But for 0.05 and that's a sure win already, I will take home it right away.

As long as that 0.05 can be claimed right away after the roll, there's no reason to risk it reroll. But if its the other way around, then no choice but to reroll it. That's a giveaway so I think to be fair at all concern, the winning prize can be claimed right away and the option if the winner will still gamble it of course depend on that user if he is willing to take the risk.

That's because if we choose to split the prize, we can get big money and say we win big. Usually, if we win big and continue to play gambling, we will experience defeat and often, the loss is greater than our previous wins. So dividing the prize can give us the winning even though the amount is not as big as if we can win alone. But still, it was big winning money. It can be said that we can make the right decisions in gambling and after that, we must immediately leave gambling after withdrawing the winning money. But if the prize is not too high to split, each player may want to re-roll to see their luck.

The value obtained is the reason many members prefer to split it if the prize is not as big as 0.05 (For me it is big) they may choose to reroll, but there are also those who choose to reroll because they are a risk taker.
Whatever it is because this is a giveaway, split it or rerolling it doesn't matter and should be no one will feel lost, the decisions should be determined by mutual agreement with other parties so both parties happy with that.

But from this viewpoint, if it's just a giveaway with no financial risk taken by you, personally if I was given that choice, I would choose the reroll. Giveaways are supposed to be fun for the community, it's not for getting anything from it except an enjoyable experience for everyone. The prize, if you win, should just be a bonus.

I believe that anyone who participates in giveaways SHOULD be a risk-taker.

Foremost, what is the terms and conditions of the casino you are playing with? If the casino has set their TOS telling that the player holding or made a bet on the actual number rolled will be the declared winner, then that would be followed. Otherwise, if it is stated that the nearest number could claim the price after the roll and divide the winnings, then the 2 numbers next to the rolled number could get home the price for that roll.

But since the number 8 is different from 7 and 9. The agreement between players holding 7 and 9 to divide the price won't suffice because the TOS must be followed by all participants (assuming that the TOS states the first scenario I mentioned). And definitely, other players won't be happy either with that kind of setup. They'll probably prefer to have a reroll instead of division of prize because they might have the chance to win if ever the reroll will land on their number. Personally speaking, I would like a reroll too for fairness of the game.

we cannot decide for this as the other one will need to comply, though I will not gamble the chance because 0.05 bitcoin is indeed big for me so i will split the amount if he will allow.
but if not? then I may try my luck like him to win that whole 0.10 bitcoin.
practicality mate, that is the best way to deal with it, if the amount is peanut then use it all, but if its big enough to keep then why need to gamble .

I say it depends on the situation but judging the said scenario, I'm already lucky to win half of the prize and re-rolling it again doesn't guarantee that I will walk away with the full prize because my chances aren't that great too. Plus, in my situation, that kind of money is already huge as it would take me few months of labor just to have that amount.

If you are living on a country which dollars is really indeed valuable or high then you would be basically be agreeing on split and would already ensure that you had the money rather than on making yourself fight on

having a re-roll just because you do believe that you could get the entire amount on next roll which is really indicates that you are just being too greedy.

Well, everything would be depending on the organizer if ever they would decide to split up the prize in half with other winner or simply re-roll just to have that 1 winner.

Or it could also indicate that 0.05 Bitcoin is not a big amount of money for you, and that you don't mind losing, in exchange for the fun of playing again and being able to win the full price. I see that in the results the split the price is narrowly winning, and it is logical, because in general 0.05 Bitcoin is an important amount of money, and people prefer to make sure they get it rather than to risk losing it for a bigger prize.

How can it be being "too greedy"? It's a giveaway with having no personal financial risk for the player. Giveaways are supposed to be played for fun without any expectation of winning anything. Being greedy, or being an "opportunist", would be to join the giveaway with a profit-motive. I know participants are incentivized to join, but the prizes are supposed to be just a bonus.

I don't think its being too greedy.

If the terms of the roll states that the exact winning number would take home the prize, then there should be no negotiation. You have to follow the rules to be fair to other participants as well. But if it is stated that there will only be one roll and if the winning number wasn't anyone's number or bet, then the nearest numbers could divide the prize, it will be a win-win for the two players.

0.05BTC is already big for other people and winning that could already mean a lot to them. Hence, they will agree if ever they are in the position. And if ever a rule is already stated, they can't really request a reroll and just take up the 0.05BTC as their prize.

Not unless he is badly needed the money then that is a greedy attitude  ;D

but you are completely right , because this is a give away meaning we should enjoy the bet and win , while having best experience winning from that said freebies.

0.05 BTC is a huge amount of money for most gamblers, who will probably agree to share it with other players. That's a bonus for them, and they don't need to re-roll again because they probably won't get that big again. It's important to know how many opportunities we have and to control our greed so we can take that rare opportunity. And if they are not satisfied with the result, they can use it to gamble and hope to win even bigger results.

Having a good day will push me to just reroll it and won't think of the other half and just let it be, all in, for gain or nothing.

Aside from that, it's your mental capacity dependence that will make you try to reroll it. Well, there's also that thinking that it's better to do something else and be against to the crowd.

As the majority is telling, splitting the prize is their choice. So, just to have fun and be different from the rest, reroll then.

I will probably choose split the prize, I'm usually unlucky on giveaways so I would take whatever price I could get from it. I won't risk the half portion of the price for a full price knowing that I'm pretty unlucky on this type of giveaways. I believe that those who want to reroll isn't that greedy, They just want to have a little bit of thrill and squeeze all their luck to the next roll winning the whole prize.

BTW, I unfortunately picked the reroll button on the poll which is supposed to be split the prize.

Even if there is a 80% chance of winning there is still 20% chance of losing your profit because of greed.
So since it is a giveaway I would rather take the profit than to take the risk of not getting any from it.
Besides I think there is only a small chance to be lucky on winning on such giveaways so why not enjoy it.

If you are just two who would fight for the re-roll then you would definitely having that 50% chance on getting that full giveaway but of course losing chance is also half and big this is
why it would be more sensible if you do just rather accept on that split rewards on at least you would really be getting on that giveaway rather than ending up on regretting because
the other one had been chosen on that reroll.Well it does really depend on someones decision because there are people who might be thinking that they arent losing something
and they would gamble for a re-roll and in case he wasnt chosen then he could easily move on because he didnt lost money.

Greed on the sense that you would really be liking to get that whole amount or bonus and wont really be tending nor like to share it up with other people Ex. 2 person.
It might be a bonus but there were people who do really treat up that it was their money or something that they should own.
It might be that wrong on general perspective on using up the word but when it comes to impression it is really just similar or the same sense.
If you are that contented on 0.05 then you would look for something bigger since you do know that there are chances.

What are the rules of the giveaway? Guessing the correct number between 1 and 10?
In that case, both players didn't guess the correct number(8) so the right decision would be to reroll.
If there was another rule for guessing the numbers, which are next to winning number, then the price should be split.
Why are you asking this question? Did you have a similar experience by not winning a giveaway or you just hosted a giveaway?
Anyway, you question is unclear because we don't know the exact rules of the giveaway.
The lack of clear and precise rules can cause problems in giveaways.

That's not greed. That's FEAR of not receiving any money from what actually is a free giveaway. Which also loses the real purpose of the giveaway in my opinion. It's supposed to be for fun for the community, not for receiving money to take home.


Understandable if the person is TRULY in need of that money. If he/she can go home with something extra for that day, then why not, no?

If they still want to chase a larger amount of money and don't want to share it with others, they have to be careful because that won't guarantee to get it. Greed will eventually drop them to the bottom and they will not be able to earn or recover the lost money they have played in many gambling games.

After all, it's a pretty big bonus for them and they really have to control their greed before things change and they'll regret it. It is better to feel satisfied than pursue something uncertain because we can lose everything.

Yup, that is why I said that winning it on the first time is already considered as lucky and we don't really know if we can still get lucky if we re-roll it, going home half the prize is already reasonable.

Depends on the player tho, some are so courageous to re-roll it despite knowing the chances. Some successed but some didn't.

If the game is just between with those two winners to make a reroll for the winner there's a higher chance to get the solo prize but if the odds increase the number of participants like making another reroll to have a final winner I guess not ideal to make a deal with this the more better is having the split option than making a roll, sometimes getting more greedy makes a mistake in the decision making. For the split its a win win situation both of you got a profit but if reroll lower the chance or have a 50 percent chance to get the prize.

better to take it  than risking it again because of thoughts that you still can get the whole price afterwards.  Lol its very unpredictable tbh as it's game of luck, so we need to be smart enough if we already have rewards, wherein than expecting more.

With reroll you have (only) 10% chance to double the potential win, so I thing split is better option. At the end is it 50%, if the rules for split are different the decision could be more complicated. Sometimes situation like that happens when poker players at final table decide to split the prize taking into account their balance. As in your case it is 50/50, both sides should be satisfied.

If the one will allow ? then I will love splitting the prize but if not then the chances are re rolling and I love this to come in my  place,
though sometime in the past when my friend and I got to win in raffle ? as the prize is brand new Motorcycle ? we decided to sell the Motor and split the amount rather than trying to win against other.

I've seen the term giveaway on many casinos but before you qualify here, you will need to deposit and wager a certain amount first. There is a risk and it can be huge depending on the casinos rule. Sometimes it can range up to $10k wager only to get 1 raffle entry for the giveaway.

We can be considered greedy if we want to request a re roll because we don't want for the prize to get divided but the question is if the other gambler will agree with it. Ah I know, they can do a paper scissor game or a coin toss game and the one that wins can decide if they will do a re roll or not. It's okay to be greedy and you shouldn't care of what the others think because it was your money in the first place that you gambled there.

Well, its a wrong use of the term "Greed"  :D

Yes, i do agree that we are really that in fear but that impulse inside of yours which you shouldnt really be sharing up or would like to solo that giveaway.
Giveaways is for the sake of entertainment and further enjoyment of a certain game on a platform but there are people
who do see that it could really be a money which they could go home without even thinking that there are particular
wagering requirements attached into it.

Playing it safe would be better, just split the prize and avoid being too greedy. Or if you're kind enough, give a bigger portion to the other participant which would be lame because both of you played the game. Rerolling might even give you both tendencies of losing and no one to take home the prize, right?
Enterntainment purposes indeed but it would always be better to have something than to gain nothing, in every scenario.If it is an activity wherein all players would enjoy, then that would work, but this is just a 'pick a number' game, there won't be fun from rerolling and such.

Logically right, why bother to take that risky move if you have much option to keep the half of the pot prize. Splitting guarantees you to enjoy the half of the prize. It's your choice if where you'll going to bring your winning amount. Beside you can use that prize as a starting capital and re-try your luck by playing any game that you like not just to double the amount but if luck permits, you can multiply it to a much decent amount.

Though don't quote me on this, it's just my own cent if ever that opportunity permits me to be in this kind of situation. I'll choose the safer one to have that slice to enjoy the winning part.

It depends on OP if they are barely needed with the prize the most ideal thing to do is split the prize and of course, they are both winners so it will become depends on both sides if they decided to split or make a re-roll so there's the winner decided in this game, people who are willing to risk have the higher chance to get the prize or got nothing, if you don't really need those prizes to reroll is the most ideal there's no regret at the end of the day, but if you have a thing so pay with the split is the best.

All will end with how the gambler who are in the situation will decide his fate, but in such an event where the amount is huge, and it came from a casino giveaways, if there's no wagering requirement and you can take the money out right away. Personally splitting is the best option, but if he's willing to take additional risk, re-roll is also possible. Both parties have an equal chances it's just a matter of luck that will decide who will take the whole prize.

Tough call and a matter of how you handle your emotion, it's money matter and what will be the best thing if you are in this kind of scenarios.

I think they are aware of it already that what they are planning is too risky and they can go home with nothing but they choose to continue despite of it. Other reasons that I can think of other than what @dunfida said would be that they are big gamblers and they think 0.05btc is too small.

The price of bitcoin right now is also at a dip so 0.05btc will look even smaller for them. They are not happy owning it but they will feel more thrilled if they re roll it. For us who are only small gamblers we think 0.05btc is already big enough so we are contented with it because it is a sure money already. There are so many things that we can think of doing with that amount.

By reading the comment - it seems that people would love to split the price.
I would like to do the same. Rather than losing the whole amount I would love to split the price too then reroll.

Of course, 0.05btc is too small for big gamblers, and maybe if all three are big gamblers, they will ask for Reroll to see further results. And when the result is not equal or smaller than the previous result, they can accept it and will continue playing for the next round.

If they can hold that 0.05btc until the bitcoin price rises again, that 0.05btc will be a huge profit for them and won't let them down. But if they instead use it to bet, there is no guarantee they can win that amount or more because the result is that they might lose. We as small gamblers will be satisfied with the 0.05btc result because it means a lot to us.

As gamblers, we always take chances and luck in all our bets, so the reason why I decided to reroll the winning amount so we can chase more profits once lucky. And of course, both should agree about this. Once lucky, we will increase our profits, but if we end up losing the win amount, then there’s no regrets because both sides have agreed about this. After all, gambling is always a risk, no one gets the jackpot and exciting prize without taking the chance to win.

as a gamblor I would like to split the price and would not want to go for the reroll
Because greed is not the good option. So I would get I will get.

There's no greed on that. It's just that taking the prize is a good and wise decision in that case because the prize was already a decent amount, to begin with. Expecting more might end up taking without money that's why it's good to secure already that winnings.

It's also hard to win on that giveaway so take it as luck that we ended up winning.

For that amount I’m probably going to re-roll. If it were more money, say several thousand dollars more, than I take a harder look at possibly splitting it down the middle. This happens for me in fantasy football at times and I normally decided against splitting the pot, more fun to go for it all.

Valid point.

Nowadays, it is indeed hard to win on every giveaway. There's only a certain chance that you'll be picked and take home the prize all for yourself. Hence, splitting the winning with other player could be a good deal already if the casino's terms is fine with it. Securing your prize isn't really a bad idea even if it's just half of the original prize. It's still better to take home something than nothing at all. And yes, to some that 0.05BTC is a decent amount already and can be used to buy or experience specific things they desire. Being greedy could make you lose what you almost already had, so it's better to keep in mind to weigh the situation first before rushing into a decision that you might regret.

You only selected a number and you won 0.05 BTC. I would rather split the prize than rerolling it.

Not being greedy here, but I'm comfortable with the winnings already. I mean I can buy something that I need, and I want with that money so why reroll it if I can just walk away with that money. Of course, it will depend on the other party if they would choose to split it or to reroll but for me, I will choose split.

In general, most gamblers don't think this way. They always think of making more money so maybe for most gamblers, if they are in this situation, they might choose rerolling it.

However, most of the responses in this thread suggest that the choice would be in favor of splitting the money. In general, the opinion of the players is clear - they choose the minimum guaranteed prize. I would like to know the opinion of the organizers of the draw - it seems to me that it should differ from the opinion of the players, since the organizers' interest is to create a feeling of excitement in the player, and if the prize is distributed in a "reliable and fair" way, then there is no feeling of excitement.

Either way, it's not being greedy or pushing our luck. First of all, we didn't expected to have that money as it was just a give-away prize where we didn't usually expect that we will be the lucky ones to win it. It is just a matter of perspective and situation, one may choose to split it because they needed it for other purposes and the other one may choose to re-roll win or lose.

as stated above most of the responses in this thread says that the people would mostly go  in favor of splitting the money because people would risk once and not again

Not really...

What we learn from this thread is that people will split if the amount is significant for them, and if the amount is low (something like $1) then they will reroll.

I'm sure if i start another thread like this but with the amount of $1 dollar more than 95% will go for Reroll to get one or zero, but getting $0.5 doesn't feel like a huge amount of money and that's why thy can afford it to lose.

if we do read up on whats stated on op..
Which it had been indicated its on btc form which it is really that a big amount for you to demand some re-roll but rather you would really be
agreeing on splitting up the prize.

Its impossible that we are seeing $0.5 giveaway yet these numbers can be seen on faucet rather. :D

I really don't see any reason to roll the dice anymore rather than walk away with half of the price.
Remember it's a give away, and 0.05btc is a nice take home and there is no way I personally will continue rolling when no winner is assured.
One weakness people have in gambling is not knowing ones limit and not knowing when to stop becauee of greed which in most cases ends up In total silent regrets.
So I personally will split and walm away with half of it.

Well, in my case I wouldn't doubt it, I would split the prize, we don't know what the other player has gone through to get there and maybe that money is needed not only to play but for other things that can be decisive in his life, I would see it from the most human side (although the person is not like that) but for all the events that have happened in the world, I would say that now is when we should be more united, and if a casino, an mgame, a raffle can help unite I don't doubt it, for me these things are opportunities to make more friends, it's when you play soccer against another team, usually you end up having very good friends.


Well this is one of the things that must be learned the most, I am sure that many players agree with their way of playing and thinking, playing it safe is sometimes the most intelligent and even the most sensible thing to do, for some people it is to divide and leave and enjoy, but we also know that there are many people who think very differently and take the risk truck, of course the people who have money to support themselves and that this loss does not affect anything in their life but they see it only as " losing" well, there is no problem, but a person or player has to evaluate his economic situation and if he sees that it is not convenient for him, he has to go for the answer.

I would probably split the prize and walk away with a decent 0.05 BTC. Anything else seems a bit too greedy and somehow feels like it would go wrong. In fact, if you were to use that 0.05 BTC to keep gambling, why on the same game? You could easily win more if you played it smart.

But this thread does raise the question of how much is considered a non-risky amount? At what point does splitting become a better option?

That probably might be different for everybody depending on their financial status such as their income and their capital. If I were a millionaire, I would not care about losing 1k. I would probably keep going and reroll.

most of the time people would not like to risk for the second time.
So they would split - this is what most of the people in the forum suggested.

The amount of the prize does affect the decision especially if we are comparing hundreds buck vs few buck even cents. If you start a new thread with $1 prize, I will simply answer "reroll it or I'll give it to the other". Not because I dont want the money, but it is wasting of time and mind to think and discuss what to do with $1.

That's what we might think because as casual gamblers, that would be a very large amount of BTC, especially if we could sell it at a high price. It's rare for people to get that much BTC; if there is, it's probably because they're playing for big money or a whale. So it's better if we just accept the money and don't need to reroll again because there is no guarantee that we can get more than before. This is what makes us have to know that if we have got that amount of money, we must immediately stop and leave gambling.

I think this is very closely related to the ratio of how big the chances of winning are. if the chance is only 50-50, then both voters have an equal chance. a safer option is to choose the prize share option. and even then on condition, both agree to distribute the prize. however, we are often faced with a dilemmatic choice when it comes to betting.

moreover in this case, 0.1BTC is quite a large amount.
Often times, the urge to get the full prize will certainly affect the psychology of everyone involved in the choice. one will be forced to think instantaneously, the moment the gift choice event begins.
in the end, as you said. all will end with how the gambler who is in that situation will determine his fate.

I want to quote that huge amount because for an ordinary gambler who is not wagering that much, most common in participating with any giveaways, the chance that they will take whatever amount they can in an easy access way. Splitting will assure them the amount and we are speaking with such an amount that can't be resisted, especially if it's come from a free opportunity.

50-50 chance still got the risk compared to half of the pot prize without anything to do.

Quick cash out instead of taking another shot that can take that amount away from you, again, depending on a type of gambler who will be deciding on this kind of opportunity.

That would be the most neutral answer which is to split the prize rather than keep re-rolling especially for us where we don't really know the terms of the giveaway. But if one of terms is which closest number rolled will be the winner of the whole amount then re-rolling would be the most logical thing to do. If you try and re-roll you'll have 70% chance of winning the whole amount 10% chance for split and 20% chance for nothing.

I think the reward amount is big enough. But if I were the decision maker, I would split the prize. Because if we use this way, it will make two people happy. In addition, since it will be a fair share, new discussions will not occur. Because if the competition is renewed, the one who does not win the prize will regret. It will be a sad moment for him or her. In fact, I support sharing in all areas of life. This is my way of solving the problems that I encounter in life. Because I am someone who prioritizes the goal of a more equal world

Depends on the organizer of the said giveaway.If they do really like to have 1 winner then they would really be deciding to have a re-roll but if they do really like for that roll to be the final then there would be a split.

Personal choices would really be depending on winners side but they cant do something if decisions would be final on the said organizer of that giveaway.If i were 1 on of those winners then i wont really be that

that making some complaints if ever it would be re-rolled or would be split up.Free money is always been good and you cant really make out complaints on that.
You should really be that be satisfied and be contented on what you had get for free.

If the rule is the number closest to being rolled, it inevitably must be re-rolled again. But even though the odds look great, it's not a guarantee we can get the entire amount because we know that it's a luck-based gambling game where we don't know who will be the winner later. But we also don't know what the giveaway rules or conditions are so we will look at the most objective choices that we think can benefit us.

since I am not very brave in the thing - so I wont be able to roll the dice for the 2nd time
I will only split the prize and go home happily and contented

A really interesting point of discussion. I think I saw this in practice in a game show clip I saw somewhere in the internet. Premise is that two people are tasked with choosing between playing "steal" or "split"
If one player chooses split while the other chooses steal, the one who chose to steal gets to bag all the prize money. If both of them however plays steal however, they don't get anything. Lastly, if both of them choose to play split, they go home with half the prize. If done with an interaction with the other person you are betting with, you can play a bluff on them that will maximize both your profit. And that is to immediately let them know that you are going to steal, or in this case reroll, ask them to choose split, and then tell them that you're just gonna send them the money, but actually choose split so that you go home with half the prize.

Although it must be said that the premise you gave us leaves me little to come up with because you never specified if the winner is to be chosen based on who has a closest number to the winning one which would be me.

Anyways: for people who are interested in learning more about this strat you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qjK3TWZE8

Some would be contented and some wont really be that accepting until they do get the whole amount or that freebie.In my own opinion then i would really be that
contented on having that split prize rather than on having a re-roll which you cant really assure that you could really get something because there's always an
odds that you wouldnt be able to take a hit or have some part of the pie.
This is why you should be grateful at least when you are really that getting something for free.Dont wish out for more
because it might give out different results in next roll which would leave you on regretting.

Referring to OP, the terms are not mentioned that's why the common answer here is to take right away the split money.

If the terms are known, maybe we can have different answers here. There's also a question that if BTC0.1 is only the pot amount and the other one let's say reroll it and won, the pot is not enough now to cover all the winnings as the other half is now taken home by the winner who decides not to reroll it.

Either way, that chance of winning can't happen to anyone. If by chance we have the opportunity to take home the amount, then just do it without hesitation.

As long as there's no written rule about this lucky number game, either split the prize or reroll is fine. It depends on the winner, usually the organizer will ask to both of them, are they prefer to split the prize or reroll. But in most case they're fine to split the prize since they're don't really care with the prize, they're want the other person is happy too. This also make the organizer feel better and the other person who's not win will not mad.

I think the decision depends on the bet... if the bet was 1 mBTC or lower I guess players would be satisfied with an x50 prize (or higher if the bet was lower), but in the case when players make bets with bigger amounts they winning x2 or x3 will not be interesting, most likely they will go for enrolling! I know there's a saying "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", but some people want a lot more birds and they are ready to go all the way. I was like that before, I was always ready to go for all or nothing, but now I would settle with lower but secure prizes. I am older and a bit wiser, and I'm not free and on my own, as I was before, now I need to think about the family. My gambling style changed with time, I guess that happens to all, eventually.

Better than nothing at all, though it's always depends on how you manage your decision making, I see your point and it's always valid to quit while you already have something than to push forward and risk losing your winning amount. Maybe there are also some who wanted to make big money in choosing to re-roll, but as per my opinion, most will choose to split it up.


Yup, organizer or the one who creates the promotions/raffle also has the right to decide if they've got certain rules about the winning prize.
If they are allowing the split, then those who choose to split, or if both parties choose it, then it will be split.

For me splitting money is the always the good option - if I win - I dont roll the dice again.
But if we talk about this situation - then surly splitting money is the only option

They'll be fine because they can get a pretty hefty reward, even if that means they can't get the full reward. Instead of rerolling, they'd better take the prize.

And if the organizers could ask both of them, maybe it would seem fair to them. And if the winner feels that his luck won't help him if they reroll, he will accept the result. But that doesn't apply to people who feel challenged to reroll because they think the chances of getting all the money are big.

Me too - it's a good option to stay happy on the prize money one receives rather than losing all the money.
contentment is a good trait for a person for a content life.
