    If you won a contest but they offered you double-or-nothing, would you take it?

    If you had the chance to walk with $20,000 or do a one question double-or-nothing; would you walk with the 20 large or take the chance to double your money?

    You can tell a lot about a person by the way they answer this question.

      I'd most likely take the 20 larges and walk away

              I would take the 20k and walk away, not worth chancing it.

                  Interesting answers. I will break it down after a couple more people reply. Amazing how one simple question can break a person down.

                                      If it was slightly more in my favour I would gamble, but on a 50/50 I would probably cop out. I was listening to the radio the other day and this real dimbo had somehow got up to £1500 at which point the DJ asked her if she wanted to risk the lot and gamble for the £2000 top prize. Now thats a real shitty bet but the dumb fuck took it on and lost the lot. I was fucking screaming at the radio and getting wound up by stupid people.

                                                      sounds like the statistics of getting divorced! 50% chance of having everything or nothing

                                                                                  hmm, thats bullshit,


                                                                                  whats your $$$ situation ? thats what matters

                                                                                  if you are loaded, and $20k isnt all that much to you , you wont think about and go double or nothing


                                                                                  if you are not loaded but like taking risks you would also go double or nothing

                                                                                  two situations , double or nothing , two different people ,

Usually I'd just try to double it.. it completely depends on the situation, never gamble money you can't afford to lose

                                                                                                                              I'd say it depends on how the first $20k was won, what type of contest it is, who is holding it, etc. Like if I won $20k from answering a news question from NPR, then I might try my knowledge and hedge for the double-or-nothing, because I'd assume they'd ask another "news" question that I may know.

                                                                                                                              However, if it's from some company / source that I do not know, do not know how they operate and can assume they are a bit shifty, then I wouldn't; because they could ask some off-the-wall question no one in the world could answer.

                                                                                                                              Then again, there's that whole "when you assume it makes an ass out of u and me" thing, so I'd probably take the $20k and go on vacation.

If you choose to double your money, then you're a risk taker.
