I don't think the odds on the flip are 50/50, there's some concept for it, martingale I learned about

Yeah obviously and I'm willing to take that risk.
200k ain't really gonna change my life. I'm pretty comfortable. $40 mil I'm on some different shyt. 50/50 ain't bad odds to me.
So basically your odds are not 50/50 at all flipping that coin...its actually 33.33% chance of you getting any money and 67% chance of you taking an L and going home empty. :francis:

yes that is fine I accept that risk. But I don't take the coin toss my chances of being able to retire early are 0%. So I'd rather take the 50/50 odds on that.

You got to be beyond broke to take 200k with a 50/50 chance at 20 Million.


I blew thru 50k 10 years ago. :francis:


200k is good money if you have a plan, most of us dont. Invest successfully isn't as easy as it sounds.
Good for you. I’m taking the 200k. Putting 150k down on my mortgage and doing a recast. It will put a nice dent in my mortgage and save me a lot of interest. I can sleep at night with that. Losing a coin flip for 40 million and passing up on 200k would have me:damn:
