Here's a thought experiment

If I offered you $100, you could take it and walk away.
Or, you could double it or lose it all based on a coin flip.

Now, you're presented with a situation where if you take the double down, and you lose, have you really lost anything?
You never had anything to begin with until I made you this offer. Would you feel regret for not taking the $100 in the first place?

Thoughts? Grin

I would definitely get the $100 and would intend to risk on doubling it since im not good at gambling and deosnt have enough luck on these things. Its much safer to keep it than to gamble when you dont care at all then if you want to risk on doubling it then its your decision after all.

Reliability also has it's worth, for example you can think "ok I have 100% chance to get $100 and spend them on something I want", on the other hand you have "I have 50% chance to get nothing and 50% chance to spend $200 on something I want". For non-gamblers the safety of first option pushes them to make the first choice. There's a Russian saying "Better a small bird in hands than a big one in the sky".

Everyone will definitely be thinking about it when they do gambling gambling, because it is something that gives all gamblers hallucinating toward something things that have not happened, it is very dangerous for us if it can't control it properly

i will not take it away i will go to bet to take a bet on that coin because i have a luck on that thing all flip coin is gonna show head for sure and i am going to be win for that but if you guys are going to ask me if i am going 3ple it yes

You are such a risk taker dude. hahaha. I think when OP gives the 100$, we already have profit and that money is already belongs to us. So if we risk it then we loss. I think we actually lost because that money is already our property and that decision can give a regrets to us.

My answer as well is yes I will try to double those $100 if I get to play. It is not bad to try considering that there is some sort of wagering requirement before making withdrawal. I have observed with others money most probably chance of winning are more higher than playing with own money. In my case this has happened many times.

maybe it will work for you if you try to make double in gambling games, but for me, i will take that $100 with not thinking to make it double in gambling games because i am not good in gambling games.

I also think it would be great to have fun with $100 and surely I will go with to make double to take risk with this amount, outcome of bet would not be a problem for me because I have nothing to lose there.

For you, if this $100 is not that big then surely people will spend that money to have fun and can try their luck but for some people, it is not a small amount so they may consider to withdraw money spent for some other purpose. It usually depends on individual needs.

if I have money, I'll take $100 then will double it.

but if I do not have money, better take $100 and double it only 50% of it. because I do not want to risk losing it all.

I choose to double the money $100, because it's free money and even i lose, i don't really care about that and it's on a coin flip, so the chance is 50-50. It's worth to try though.

I have no control over my gambling activities so I will be going to avail the opportunity to make as much as will be possible. I will not stop just for double but in case of winning before each new hand I will transfer some money away. I will still keep making bets until busted all remaining balance because this is my style of dealing with gambling with free money.

Everyone has their own perspective about what they do about their money , for me.
I will split into half , for 70% from my bitcoin i would like to hold it in my wallet and the second which have 30% from my bitcoin will try my luck for gambling or trading for grow my earnings. I don't want to risk all my money with the luck thing or gambling to be more precise , so i have a plan like i have said in this post.

yes i would take the money and walk away if i am given the option of walking away with a hundred dollars that was given to me for free.

but since this never happens and sites are always forcing us to play first and deposit first and roll 100000 times first , then i guess if it was a hundred dollar free promotion i would surely go and try the game of double or nothing.

Why not try with free money to multiply it with much more. I will give it few hands to see what I can make with this amount. After all this is free money who knows what luck it can bring me. I have to say yes double or nothing. I love to play specially when it is free money in any shape and many time succeeded to turn it into much more.

I will prefer to walk away with $100 as this is not little money. I will not put my luck to be in trouble. I will take this money as winning and will keep continue my normal gambling activities. It will be like I don't have money and will save it for other thing. I don't take unnecessary risk.

$100 is not so big but it is still considered up there. so if you offered me such a deal i would take the money and walk away without making any bets.

but if the amount was lower like around 20 bucks then i guess i would feel a lot better to make some bets at least 2 times in a row and try my chances at this proposal.

I will flip the coin. It is a 50-50 chance so why not. A high percentage like that should be taken plus it is not my money. If its just imaginary then I will flip but if you will really give it to me then thank you and goodbye after that. :p

Sounds fun. I'll probably take the $100 away. Usually I try to minimize my dice betting as much as possible. I prefer betting high in sports or something that I have good knowledge on winning.

Well as you said in the first place, you offered the option of getting away with the $100. So after that you can assume that the $100 are yours and you are actually risking them.

So in my case I would take the $100 risk free. After that I could use them or invest them any way I wanted. But no point in risking not taking them at the first place.
