Double or Nothing

[neochiny]

I'd take the $100 and run. Thank you. haha. Even if you say I'd lose nothing at all when I do gamble it and lose, that's not true.That's just a way of consoling yourself because fact is, that was a sure 100 bucks. If I let greed take over, I could end up with nothing instead. Now if we were talking about a x3 or x4 increase (100 becomes 300/400), then hell yeah I'd take the chance. lol. I'd still regret it if I lose, but the possible gain would be worth it.

i would definitely not double it, because there would be way too much risk in my opinion to lose all the money that i could already get

The answer is obvious. Anyone would take the 100$ and be done with it. Double or nothing is a gamble, but the 100$ you can get is a sure shot.

Here's a thought experiment

If I offered you $100, you could take it and walk away.
Or, you could double it or lose it all based on a coin flip.

Now, you're presented with a situation where if you take the double down, and you lose, have you really lost anything?
You never had anything to begin with until I made you this offer. Would you feel regret for not taking the $100 in the first place?

Thoughts? 

For me,

I will just the the 100 bucks and go away,

I don't want to put any risk of losing it,
even though you will double it if I win a coin flip game, It is better to be sure than nothing.

This type of offers will not come daily, He is giving chance to test your luck in gambling. 100$ is big amount i agree but it is not our money. so if we can lose also no issue right. we will just lose our extra money. If i get this offer i will try to make this amount double in sports bettting. and i am sure that i will not lose all money.

i think most of the people around here will abuse such system and only will take the money and run
but assuming that there is a rule that you should play at least a couple of times to withdraw, i would love such game to play a double or nothing but for just a couple of bets and test my luck.

If you offered me $100, I will accept it and since it's just a giveaway, I will consider trying my luck and bet some of it (if it is allowed to divide bets). After that, the next move will depend on the situation, if I won or lose on the previous bet. Well, as you have mentioned, it's not totally mine, you'll just give it. However, if it's not okay to divide bets and needed to go all in, I think I will just take the $100 and go away because I can't risk all in one even the money is from a giveaway.

If I lose the coinflip I would definitely regret it for not accepting the first offer which was walk away with the money but if I had a choice I would take the first option with no hesitation because its basically free money.

i like the game you are suggesting, coin flip. and i have been looking for a game like this to play and i have not yet found a good coin flip to play at. i once found one site that was offering it but i did not like the site itself

and as for the strategy, i don't like this method of gambling. double or nothing or in other words going all in is never my style. i like to manage my funds more wisely and reduce the risks of losing all of my bankroll as much as possible to be able to continue gambling even if i lost.
in double or nothing i may lose the first bet and then i would have to go home!

I would take the 100 and walk away with it. It is simply too good to risk losing it again, even if you didn't have the 100 to begin with.

This reminds me of a Dutch TV show where people have to do funny assignments and if they win, they something like 250 euros. They than have the option to roll a 6 sided dice with 1, 25, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 on it. Bascially a 50% chance to keep the money or go up, or lose a lot of it.

95% of the people that got the opportunity to roll the dice kept the 250.

[crytoboost]

I would like to take $100 for me but will try my luck on sports betting as I think I have some luck with this form of gambling, with sports betting it would be easy for me to make profit instead of playing on luck based game with 50 50 win chance.

I will get 100 usd, if you replace 1 usd to 100 usd, I would choose double because 1 usd is a little to me. 100 usd is a good amount of money

Now, you're presented with a situation where if you take the double down, and you lose, have you really lost anything?

Yes, you did lose something. You lost your opportunity to grab that 100$ when you can. Now you lost a bet and the chance of getting the 100$ is gone.

You never had anything to begin with until I made you this offer. Would you feel regret for not taking the $100 in the first place?

Of course, in every situation that you had the opportunity to get something but you didn't because you were greedy and lost that opportunity, you'll surely regret it.

This situation is very analogous to a very common happening in gambling. It's when you're already winning but you're still betting and betting because in your mind, you're just playing with your profit. If you lose all of your profit, you don't feel that bad but you get that feeling of regret that you should've stopped playing while you still have some profit on your hand.

[ethereumhunter]

i will going with the member answering on here which is i will take take $100 and walk away, but before walk away, i will say thank you to you because you give that $100 for free.

if you take the double down, and you lose, then i think i will not loss in anything because that $100 is from you and i don't spend any amount to gamble. i think i will not regret it about my decision, because maybe its too late for me to realize about that.

[xuan87]

even though i like to gamble, but i wont take the chance, i will keep the money in my pocket and walk away, even though I wont lose anything but i will feel regret if i lose the 100$, so i feel better accepting the 100$ rather than 200$ but has the chances of losing it all

[Docnaster]

I think so $100 is nice amount and it would be nice to take it as it is, because I am not a greedy person that is why I will not take risk to flip the coins with 50% chance and lose it for hope to make it double.

I think it easy to double money if we have a big capital for gambling because we can bet em all and big win if were luck that much in the round , if your not greedy anyway then you could win in every bet you made? for example you are betting 30 bits or less and if you sure that you will win in the next round you bet high it is my strategy also 

[Nahl]

this is difficult choice for me because if i walk away 100$ obviously will be mine but if i bets it all possible too i could got double my money however if you had offered me 100$ i think i might to try bet all at coin flip who know that day is my lucky day so i could got 200$

[kanazawa]

In the actual situation, I'll hold the money since I don't trust even in probably fair systems, I only trust in person-to-person gambling or extremely reputable poker systems like PokerStars. So, in this "flip coin" situation, I won't accept the challenge. I've been looking and trying to help people avoid scam websites that so many said "probably fair" or some Admin who makes a psycho scheme to make even some intelligent people in some sort of "flip coin game". But I don't judge who likes this kinda thing.
