Here's a thought experimentIf 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? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I think it will differ from person to person, but i'm not a gambler. I'd rather have $100 in my pocket instead of having 50% chance of $200. It would be more difficult if you said: i either offer you $100 directly, or a 50% chance of winning $250.... This would actually make me think about gambling the $100 away if i got those odds... Same thing if you would offer $100 or a 60% chance of winning $200...

If - it is a real provably fair system that i have a fair chance of winning - and if it is really a coin flip game with two outcome (heads or tails) and nothing in between
then i would take the money and will try my chance a couple of times. but i will keep the number low to max 3 to 5 times.
i am also not a regular gambler but i would never pass on a chance to make some bets for free and be able to win and double the amount.

First time i am going because of your rule if not i will take $100 and start by sports betting betting management rule and divide it in 25% on each bet and start to betting.

I will not go for all in Because sometimes my bad luck I will get unexpected results means 100$ will be gone in a single bet. So why should I take the risk? What I will do means I will also play sports betting I split your amount, and I will go low odds bets with different games. Suppose in one game I lose means other game I will make a profit. Within few days I will double your investment.

But yes if anyone offers me 100$ i would rather just take it than gamble it right away.

I will check my luck in all types of games in gambling. Because yes if I lose also I don't care it is extra money.

Thoughts? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) This is really exciting if you offered me 100$ cash i will accept it and i will also accept the challenge with a risk why did i accept the challenge ? coz if the first place the 100$ is all free and how about if didn't saw you then therez no 100$ so i will flip a coin and take the 50% chance of winning to double it how if that money will be double as the OP said? then i make 200$ in a day haha thats awesome right?

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 would take the $100 any day as long as I'm not indebted to someone who gave it to me ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Also, if there exists a site that will do such a thing, I would say that it will go broke right before it started because people would have nothing to lose on that situation; they could just simply take whatever's offered and use it for something else lol. If in case I get greedy and do a coin flip, I won, I'm happy. But if I lose, I would surely regret what happened there and would keep thinking that I should have just get that $100 and simply walk away.

I have done this several times... in the altcoin trading market. I like to put a decent amount of BTC and wait for the altcoin to double my initial investment. I feel more confident doing this than going with a 50/50 provability fair roll.
