You're at a game show and must choose between certain $50,000 and possible $100,000...which would you choose? What if the possible were $1 million? Would your choice be different?

I am very strong when it comes to certaintly. First I would choose the 50K among the 100K. On the 1 million prize, I wouldn't change my mind yet, but it does consider for me to take more time to think about it rather than $100,000.

That's a good question. I think I would take the certain 50k- Assuming of course a wrong choice could mean I would walk out with nothing. 50k can do a whole lotta good right about now. No reason not to take it, in search of the higher payout- what if you DO go home with nothing. That 50k will look pretty darn good, right about then.

I would take the 50,000 with the 100,000 possibility. I would take the possible 1,000,000.
-
I'll take the guaranteed $50k. That's just enough to make things nice without so much that it causes undue heartache.
-
I would probably go for it. It's not really money to me until I have earned it so I'd be willing to risk it. I wouldn't be any worse off if I lose it, after all.
-
If I was on the game show, I would be so nervous that I would choose the certain money. It's easy to be at home and say you would risk it. What would you have to do to 'earn' the greater amount of money?
-
I would forever regret not trying for a bigger prize if I took the safe option...

i'd take 50 G's, i got things i could use it for.
