Decisions in DOND are often made based upon a "scale of regret."
Would dealing an amount knowing you could have won a lot more
be a greater regret than no dealing and losing a good deal.
Read these options, and select up to two in this poll.

I went with the £26k-of-£100k and £8k-of-£50k options because those sums in each case feel poles apart, but I'm now thinking the 0-of-£10k is worse than the former, maybe the £3k-of-£15k. Really not sure!

It depends on the circumstances of the game to be honest.

With me being a £50,000 targetist, definitely winning £8,000 when I could've had it either way, though I'd only decline £50k with a 4 figure win possible in extreme circumstances (i.e. £50,000 offer on a £3k/£15k/TOP 3 5 box).
