Just watched a quiz show, Deal or No Deal. Long story short, the
player turned down a guarantee of $333,000 to take a coin flip on two
possible payouts: $5 or $750,000.
He wound up with the $5. I know he made a terrible choice there, and I
don't think any gambler would have done that.
Any comments?
