Not Deal or No Deal but on the value of money.

Ok strictly not Deal or no Deal in fact take Deal or no deal completely out of your mind, this is more about value of money.

If I came up to you in the street (apart from running away very fast) and offered you to options

Option 1. £50 in your hand

Option 2. Flip a coin, if heads £100 if tails a full £0

Which would you go for?
If you chose option 2 how much would I have to offer you for option 1?
And has DOND affected which you would choose, to say two years ago?

Go for £100 I came with nothing and would be willing to risk it.....

No deal or no deal hasnt affected me

But I can afford to lose out on £50 it wouldnt bother me....

Option 2 every time - if theres more money up for grabs then by all means go for it

plus i'm used to this whole "double or quits" thing

and as for the 2nd to last question, £1,000,000,000,000,000.

Flip the coin because it normally lands on heads for me.

£50 guaranteed. I'll find somewhere to put the £50 that has a positive expected value, like a savings account. Or if I want to gamble £50, I'll put it on sports betting, as there's a skill element.

Flip the coin, and probably £70 would catch me.

Flip the coin. On double or nothing I would take £10,000 (Doubled to £20,000 if I took that risk).

At first I thought take the £50 as that would do nicely and there's no risk.

But then I thought, well why not just flip the coin? It's a 50/50 chance I'll win £100 and if it's tails then I haven't lost anything. It's worth the risk.

I'd flip the coin.

I'd take the £50 then give it back to you so you could buy Shrewsbury a couple of players...
