In scenarios like this I always doing it by comparing what the worst that could happen from both options:

Would I feel worse leaving with 2 million dollars knowing I had a chance at making a billion or would I feel worse leaving with nothing knowing I could have had 2 million. And in this case I gotta take option A and get the 2 million.

Like others have said you can flip the 2 million (hell apps are becoming big business, it cost like $2000 to make one all you gotta do is invest in like 50 solid ones you think will do well. Even if theres only a 0.1% chance of you succeeding thats 5 successful apps, hopefeully one of which is good enough to make you break even $100000, and one of which does well enough to make you at least a 100 millionaire.)<-----Basically how invest companies make money if they have $5 million at their disposal to invest they can dump $100000 in so many things its almost impossible for them to at least not break even and then if the strike a facebook or hell even instagram :whoo:

Bill Gates has even said it himself, being a billionaire is overrated. All you need is to amass about 100 million dollars. There are few things in this world a person with multiple billions in this world can do that a person with 100 million cant.

Do I get to warm up before shooting the 3???

I have a good jump shot but I haven't played for a few months. Give me 30 minutes to warm up and I have a 50/50 chance. Still though, I would take option A though, tbh. Just too much money to risk.

I've always said that. There's only so much you could do as a human being with with that amount of money anyway. I'm the type of dude where as long as I'm comfortable with a good amount of bread in the bank and my peoples are taken care of, I'm good for the most part.

You take option A and it's not even close. Doesn't even matter how good you are at shooting. Very few people have enough money to gamble and risk walking away with 0 vs taking a guaranteed 2 million.

Even if you a 90% shooter can you really afford the 10% of not getting any money? No.

A more difficult question would be something like...

Option A - $20,000
Option B - $2M

That would have people thinking.

$2M is "change your life money" so its easy to pick that. $2B is excessive...nobody need $2B.

now, $20,000 is "pay some bills...small investment" money and that aint as easy as a decision. $2M for a shot that some college athletes have a hard time making...that'll make you think for a minute.

:whoo:

If I had to pick between $20,000 and $2M I will pick the $2M dollar 3pt shot. :mjpls:

People posting vids of Kobe and Ray etc making 3's in a row as "proof". Well there's a HUGE difference in shooting a 3 in a work out or warm up then getting ONE chance for 2 BILLION dollars with NO practice shot. Not exactly the same scenarios.

I'm English, we don't really play basketball so it must be a. Now if it was a penalty kick in football (not the American one, the one you guys call soccer), different story - I would take b all day and I'd take a one step penalty just to show the levels.

$2M without question.

Smh @ thinking professional shooters aren't that good tho. Most retired shooters can knock down that shot with ease.


Most of us know, our jumper isn't that wet, so this is too easy, but what if you could designate a shooter what would you do? (assuming y'all split the $2 Billion so you know he's motivated).


Honestly, I'd take my chance with the shot.
