How many times would you press it? 
If there was a button that would give you $1,000 each time you push it with a 1% chance of dying

I’m pressing it 5 times cause I got good luck most of the time
After that I’m putting that button in a metal case and welding it shut and burying it somewhere in New Mexico

The most you could possibly get is $99K before certain death
And you everything after $50K is more likely than not to kill your ass
You gotta be the brokest, least responsible person to entertain something like this
One million per press is probably a better set up. At least then you're risking it all for something that can change the lives of those you leave behind

I'm not pushing it once
There are 100 marbles
99 are green. One is orange
Orange kills you. Green is worth $1K
If you could possibly do it the best way imaginible: you pull all 99 green in a row
Not likely
Once you get to 50 wins in a row, you are now pulling with a less than 50% chance of success. Closer and closer to definitely losing with each draw
Maybe COMPUTER RNG works differently than that but having a 1% chance is exactly what I described above. The RNG is trying to REPLICATE the marble scenario. And it could be said that RNG is synthetic. Fake.
I've played those pump the balloon games where you keep pumping to gain money but trying to avoid popping the balloon...based on my luck and the balloon seeming to pop on me everytime before I even get to 30 pumps, I'ma leave the life or death version alone...
It doesn't work that way but on principle you are correct.
Each time you draw, the chances of death would be 1/100. It is just that if you do it often enough, the odds are you will draw orange at some point.
It is like flipping a coin.
You would have to be a fool or desperate to risk your life for 1k.

You wrote all that and still wrong...
the question is direct - would you hit a button that gave you $1,000 but you had a 1% chance of dying
Meaning that every time you hit it, its a 1% chance.. you could be extremely lucky and hit it a million times and win every time, or someone not that lucky could die on the first try..
i cant believe this needs to be explained
You are using the premise that the marbles are being pulled out each time and increasing probability of pulling the orange marble.
OP needs to clarify if that's the case or if the probably is constant. (1% each try)
