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

Rob · 12-18-2005, 12:06 AM

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.

Doctor Dre · 12-18-2005, 12:07 AM

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

Lace · 12-18-2005, 12:09 AM

play it safe and take the 20k.

amandaspost · 12-18-2005, 12:11 AM

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

Rob · 12-18-2005, 12:11 AM

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

SmutGiant · 12-18-2005, 12:19 AM

double or nothing for me

RogerV · 12-18-2005, 12:30 AM

I need more info? like what the topic of the question was about. But if it were randem i would take the 20K and double it on my own

69pornlinks · 12-18-2005, 12:40 AM

you can't lose something that you don't have...double or nothing

JuiceMonkey · 12-18-2005, 02:53 AM

if it was 50/50 odds I'd do double or nothing

Lee · 12-18-2005, 06:28 AM

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.

gangbangjoe · 12-18-2005, 06:35 AM

depends the risk

georgeyw · 12-18-2005, 06:39 AM

depends - what is the bet - odds on winning etc etc can't answer without alot more info

Jace · 12-18-2005, 06:40 AM

take the $20k, nothing could change my mind

d00t · 12-18-2005, 07:53 AM

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

DutchTeenCash · 12-18-2005, 07:57 AM

20 and walk, too much money to gamble with

Abithefiend · 12-18-2005, 07:58 AM

I don't know. On one hand I'd want to take the money and not risk losing it but on the other hand I might know the answer and could double it. It's hard to say exactly what I'd do unless I actually was in that position.

cool1 · 12-18-2005, 08:00 AM

I love to gamble and all, but I would have to weigh all the odds/pros/cons first before making the decision. $20K is a nice chunk of cash.

chadglni · 12-18-2005, 08:00 AM

Can't wait to see Robs psychoanalysis of everyone based on this question. I have one also

If your accountant tells you that your shitty little investment fund will let you retire with millions a year do you

a) Post on GFY bragging about how your 20k is now 20 million even going so far as to sell your biz then buying it back?

or

b) Hire a new accountant.

Dalai lama · 12-18-2005, 08:01 AM

Take the 20k cash

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 ,

you sir ,are not all that intelligent , but rather stupido

egato · 12-18-2005, 08:08 AM

Well, my answer is double,
couse it's better than nothing :P

Babagirls · 12-18-2005, 08:11 AM

i'd take the already guaranteed $20k and invest it in different areas that would make me money for life. (instead of taking the risk of losing it all.)

its the smarter choice.

Jakke PNG · 12-18-2005, 08:19 AM

depends on the situation, now I have a situation where an extra $20k wouldn't hurt. so I'd take the money. Usually I'd just try to double it.. it completely depends on the situation, never gamble money you can't afford to lose

martinsc · 12-18-2005, 08:28 AM

i guess i would go for the double, only if i knew that i have a chance getting it right

Zhiro58 · 12-18-2005, 08:34 AM

take the $20..

djroof · 12-18-2005, 09:17 AM

of course yes... gambling is my life!

Rob · 12-18-2005, 09:40 AM

God damn, some of you take shit posted here just a wee bit too seriously!!!

I was simply going to say if you take the money then you're a conservative person that's comfortable with what you have and shy away from risks. If you choose to double your money, then you're a risk taker. I'm not Frued by any stretch of the imagination and I wasn't offering a psyco-analytical breakdown of someone's personality.

Jesus Fucking Christ!!! Some of you need to get laid or find some sort of sense of humor.

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.

that isn't always true...I am a HUGE risk taker and not conservative by any means...but I would stay with the $20k without any question

you can be a huge risk taker but at the same time be responsible, without being conservative in your lifestyle...free money is free money

Manowar · 12-18-2005, 10:19 AM

i'd go for the double

pussyluver · 12-18-2005, 10:42 AM

Whats the chances that the contest will be paid off either way?

adultchica · 12-18-2005, 10:43 AM

I would take the 20 large

Correction, not a risk taker, that's a gambler, Rob. I like taking calculated risks, not a complete gamble on what the question is going to be.

Marshal · 12-18-2005, 11:17 AM

i would take those money and go away...

je_rome · 12-18-2005, 06:02 PM

I am not really good in contest so I'd rather take the safe 20k than risk it.

KingK7 · 12-18-2005, 06:04 PM

Congrats to all the winners!!

pornguy · 12-18-2005, 06:06 PM

Rob. Back the the post topic. If I won the money from a drawing or the like, then I would walk with the cash. If I won it from a question and answer thing, I would risk it

Vitasoy · 12-18-2005, 06:12 PM

If the offer was on the table I'd take it and walk away.

sfera · 12-18-2005, 07:00 PM

take the 20

PixeLs · 12-18-2005, 07:40 PM

If it's a singing contest then I guess I could easily make it double.
